I haven’t gotten any notification of new post messages since yesterday, though I see that there ARE new posts in thread I’ve subbed too. Is this happening to everyone or do I just need to talk to my ISP? ---

I noticed the same thing this morning. My threads don’t have any new posts in the last few hours so I can’t say if it’s still happening. ---

If the server is feeling stressed it drops the tasks with the least priority which is email notifications. Not saying that’s the issue now. My browsing experience has been fine but I know people have been mentioning some troubles on the FB doper group. ---

I’ve been having the same problem…if it’s any help, my notifications are sent to a Gmail address. ---

It’s been over forty minutes since there was a response on this thread and still no notification, so it’s still happening for me at least. ---

And I haven’t been notified of any of these posts, either. Still, good to know it’s not just me. ---

Is this still going on? The Dope was moved to a new server last night … that may have delayed things but you should be getting your notifications. If anything, things should be better now. (Of course should and is are not the same.) ---

It’s still happening, notifications aren’t working for me. ---

It seems to have worked! I’ve received three notifications so far, the first one timed as 12:29 a.m. Thank you for fixing things. 🙂 ---

I had something on this in email yesterday and Jerry said the system was operating for him as normally. I’ll ask him to look into it again. ---

For those of you having trouble with getting your email notifications, please tell me your email provider … you have checked your spam folder and you’re not seeing anything, correct? If we can find a point of commonality in this problem, we may find a solution. ---
