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..

I am pretty ignorant about such things. I am trying to learn though.

I just found this page, which may shed some light, but much of it is new to me.

http://security.rr.com/mail_blocks.htm

It explains how to determine what happened, but I am not the sender, so I don't know what code my guys are tossing to TBN to decode.

I have attempted to do the Gmail thing, and have it forward to my main account. So far, I have received the notices into Gmail, but none have been forwarded yet. Whether it just takes time, or whether the approach will fail, I don't yet know.

since having my email addy for a couple decades.. I don't plan on getting a disposable one to play with.. I just log on.. hit 'my home' and see what's been responded to that I'm subscribed to and call it a day..

I was doing that too, but I have found it to be less effective for me...but I may wind up doing it anyway.

Edit: I am going to use My Home, and unsubscribe to the threads as I encounter them, and only keep a bare few threads subscribed. I changes a setting a while back to automatically subscribe if I comment, but I am thinking I have become subscribed to too many threads, and probably comment too much anyway.

I may be better off reading more, writing less, and also finding other things to do with the time anyway.

under thread tools at the top of a page you can manually toggle the subscription as well.

Thanks. I did get my subscriptions down to a more reasonable level. I think I may leave the auto-subscribe on, but periodically, go to My Home, subscriptions, last page, flag them all, and then unsubscribe to that entire page, and only keep something like three pages of subscriptions max. I don't think it matters that much to the E-mail issue, but I did need to clean up a little for sure.

Still have not received even one forwarded E-mail from Gmail yet. I'll give it 24 hrs. to see if that works.

The only reason I care is if someone were to PM me, and I am not checking Gmail frequently, I won't know it for days.

do you have pm's setup to notify you instantly.. if so.. they could at least pm you and they would pop when you logged in..

I do have the PM's "pop" when I log in, so that is a good point.

Right now, I am still doing the "My Home" thing, and I am starting to like that better than I thought. I'm a creature of habit, and I suppose I don't like change...but sometimes when I get used to a change, I wonder why I minded.

i don't muchlike change either.. am deffinately a creature of habbit.. so I completely understand. probably why i have a 23yr old email addy...

If they don't get their page template stabilized pretty quick and if it still includes a video advertisement at the top like this morning where you have to wait 15 seconds to skip it, they won't need to fix the email notification problem, at least for me and probably a lot of others.. We will not waste time on this site anymore.
