My email address is correct, I have “instant email notification” on, I am subscribed to several threads, I get email to my email address from non SDMB people, but I haven’t received any emails from the Straight Dope for about a week. Does anyone know what’s going on? ---

Maybe the software put you on its ignor list, so it doesn’t know that you posted. Quite frankly, I blame Bush for this snafu too. ---

Sending email notifications is yet another of the tasks for the server. The email gets batched in along with other tasks. At times of server strain, it drops tasks . . . email seems to be the first to go. I’m sorry this is happening to you. We do not as of yet have a solution to this problem. your humble TubaDiva ---

It will get better . . . oh, check your spam filters, too; a lot of what we send out ends up in the traps these days. Don’t be surprised if you get duplicates; it seems to be feast or famine around here. We can’t predict if you’ll get one notice, none, or many. your humble TubaDiva ---

My ISP might though, I’ll log in there and see if there’s any stuff floating around.
