I understand that the new SDMB server gets really busy sometimes and can’t send them. ---

I’m getting notifications okay from _cough_ a very similar board elsewhere with a similar set-up, so it’s not just gmail filing them randomly in trash or something. Cheers **TubaDiva**! ---

Jerry sez DesertNet is looking at the issue and will resolve the problem as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience you might be having. You will receive your notifications, probably when you least expect them … probably even the ones you don’t need anymore, the system will catch up. ---

now that the problem has been resolved, is there a way to turn off e-mail notifications? I don’t rely on them, and just see them as clutter in my in-box. ---
