Email Subscription

I work for AT&T and we are not blocking TBN.

multiple email accounts and handling isn't something I want to undertake either at this point.

I'll just continue to hit 'my home' and see what I'm missing so far..

Some of the subscription updates don't even show up in "My Home"
I have found that by looking in "Today's Posts" from time to time.
I just checked my total subscriptions and there are 85. I wonder if there is a limit? Some have dried up as far as activity but I left them in there for quick reference.
I recall "Bird" saying some time back that he cleaned out all of his subscriptions, since they didn't work anymore. Later he said they were working again.
Has anyone else tried "Birds" method with success?
One of you computer geeks need to help TBN figure this out as well as how to keep advertisers, paid or not to TBN, from grabbing key words from a post and converting it to a path to their site.
As an example, I try not to use the words Lawn Tractor together in posts
anymore as it usually converts "Lawn Tractor" to a path to some Cub Cadet dealer. If that is being done w/o TBN's knowledge and approval then some hacker could make good words go to bad places.

As you see in my post above the words Lawn Tractor have been turned blue and are a path to a dealer. Since I didn't bracket it in this post it will probably be the same here.

I have just over 2700 subscriptions, so I don't think there is a limit.

That is something that is being done by TBN with an advertising service called Pointroll. I think that it has a list of words that it uses. Annoying though.

Thanks for the info.
What I should have asked : Could there be a limit/number of subscriptions per member that is programmed into the TBN system that some administrator decided they had us hooked on the site so they would still maintain most of the traffic even if they stopped sending email notifications?

that what would your opinion be on why i'm not getting 30 updates a day in my in box?

 

[Scotty Dive]

Iam not getting them either. I have personally asked tbn for their servers and aliases and checked with my contacts within the email groups and they have verified AT&T is not blocking. I have offered up my services to help. I will help in anyway to get this resolved

 

[Soundguy]

fair enough.

I received my last E-mail from TBN to my "triad.rr.com" account on May 12 as 1:35 AM, and then no more. I tried to E-mail myself from TBN yesterday, no good.

I screen my main mail program with web mail, and if the mail was going to my spam folder, I would see it. That doesn't mean someone or some thing is not grabbing them before they hit my account though.

I have never had problems with this account before...a few months back while they were trying to fix E-mail problems for others, I lost it briefly, but now it seems down for good.

mine was like a rollercoaster.. up down, up down.. etc.

I think there are so may emailer variables that they can't keep everybodies servers and proxies happy..
