Title: Email notifications problems Post by: lispi on May 02, 2018, 05:48:16 AM I have read several threads in the past, but I could not get the answer why and what is happening with notifications. I did register to receive notifications about new topics on one board, namely Announcements (Altcoins), but I only get a few emails per day, while there are tens of new topics appearing every day.
I am using Gmail, and I have checked spam folder, which had no messages from Bitcoin Talk. Does anybody know what is the reason for that and what could be done, so that one could be notified about ALL the new topics?

You will receive the notification when "New Topic" is added. No there are not "tons" of topics added to Announcements (Altcoins) daily... specially in this board new topics are little less as compared to any other board like Bitcoin Discussion. So keep in mind there two types notification Board level notifications when new topic is added and post level notifications when post/reply is added in topics you posted already or you selected to be notified. I guess what you might be referring is new "Posts" or replies in other words. You won't get automatic notification for those unless you specifically select "notify" for each topic. To do that you have to open the each topic and on the top right side you to click notifiy button. Did you try using "Watchlist", i will suggest use this, it will be very help full and you can add board it self (it will add new topics on the board to your watch list automatically) https://i.imgur.com/n3U5jP4h.jpg https://i.imgur.com/n3U5jP4h.jpg Title: Re: Email notifications problems Post by: krishnapramod on May 02, 2018, 07:31:36 AM Quote More topics may be posted, but you won't receive more email notifications until you return to the board and read some of them. By simply enabling notifications, you will not get notified of all the topics on Announcements (Altcoins), but you have to login and actively visit that board to get notified about new threads.

Well, I did not mean "tons", but rather "tens" (more than 20 and less than 100), which is probably true. I am interested in notification about EVERY NEW post (not replies to old posts) in this particular board and I have registered for that. But I do get notification about one of maybe 10 new posts, though I do check out every one of them on site and even check most other new posts when ordering the board messages by new posts (by appending URL "board=159.0;sort=first_post;desc"). So I am good, but the email notifications would help me a little to keep the track what I have read and what is still to be checked. I am not sure, but I think that when I am actually "online" in this forum, the emails are coming much more often. But since I cannot be always online - it does not solve my problem. Maybe it will change when I am not a "Newbe". However I had not tried the Watchlist yet and thank you for pointing that out to me. I'll try that and maybe that will be the best solution :) |
