Subscribed threads gone??

[Dawn Patrol]

When I logged on yesterday and went to the "My IC" button, there were no threads displayed. I thought that was weird cause I hadn't logged on for a week or so and I figured some of the threads I'd subscribed to had to have had some activity..

Came back today and the only thread listed is one I subscribed to yesterday. Also when I go to my Control Panel and click the link for "List Subscriptions" the new one is the only one listed. All of my older subscribed threads are gone.

Anybody else having this issue?

I just checked mine. It is working for me.

Could someone have your username/password for icmag? Hope it's not a security breach.

No security breach. I removed your subscribed threads as emails to you are being rejected due to an invalid email addy, or rejection from your email host (thinking it's spam).

If you want to get emails of subscribed threads, then you can view them online, no need to have them emailed and rejected because you haven't updated your email account.

Everyone should have a valid email account to use ICMag, esp. if you're expecting notifications via email.

Not getting your notifications? Then check that your email host isn't rejecting our emails as spam.

Also realize I get to READ those rejected emails which sometimes contain personal info.

Be glad it's ONLY me cause I don't give a damn, unless it's about breaking the Forum Guidelines.

On the other hand, people waste my time having to deal with rejected emails everyday.

The majority of rejected emails are due to people attempting to register with invalid emails.

They never get the validation email, so they never get on the site.

And of course, with an invalid email addy, I cannot even tell them what the problem is, so they try and try day after day....

This happens even though our registration screen says invalid emails will not work...

Skip, I think you have a software glitch somewhere. It is not just invalid email addresses. A couple of months ago I stopped getting emails on my subscribed threads but they continue to show up in "my IC." Now I get emails regarding the new threads I'm on but the old ones (that still get new posts) are still blocked from email notifications. I didn't complain, just worked around it. I have the same email address and it is perfectly valid.

 

[Skip]

chuck, are you sure you're still subscribed to those threads?

 

[oldchuck]

Yes, Skip, I'm sure. Got the email for this one just fine. And then I look on my IC page and see the ones I'm subscribed to but no emails. I think you may have flying squirrels in your wood pile or maybe it's Donald Trump. Anyway, I'm not complaining. I can work around it. That Trump bastard doesn't scare me.

Are you checking ALL your email folders for the emails?

Yeah my email provider was DNS'd to the point that they shut down temporarily to try to work around the issue.

I don't need email notifications, as oldchuck noted I was only getting email notifications on a small percentage of the threads I was subscribed to, as long as I went to the "My IC" button I could see them all anyway, but now they are all gone.

Is there any way you can restore my subscriptions for me? I totally understand how much it must suck to deal with all the bounce backs you get every day for any reason.

Gotta find a new email provider as well.

 

[Skip]

Sounds like you were subscribed to a number of threads!

Yes, you were missing all the email notifications.

Just subscribe again to those threads but without email notifications this time.
You'll get a popup each time you login and they'll appear again in your CP.

 

[oldchuck]

I think you changed something, Skip. Now my emails are even more erratic. I got the one for this thread fine but others are not.
