Autopia Is Back Better than Ever

**David Fermani** · 09-19-2010, 07:39 AM

Sure Al, I`m quite aware of that. That`s why there`s an over abundance of forums fueled with agendas and power tripping dictators. Autopia, because "It`s Back Better than Ever" isn`t like that. To me that`s very important.

I`m still not getting any email notifications. Nothing is really fixed and I don`t understand how anyone thinks "Autopia is back better than ever".

You guys should stop `high-fiving` each other and stop criticizing members who have legitimate complaints.

I`ve been a loyal member longer than you and don`t appreciate being mocked for not having "thicker skin".

In case you haven`t picked up on it, the problem isn`t the tech glitches caused by outsiders, it`s the appalling lack of communication.

I can understand "veteran members" leaving when treated this way. Don`t criticize them, criticize the those who refuse to communicate.

hopefully we can move forward and learn from past mistakes while improving/resolving any issues as we go along. if some do not want to return here, that`s there choice and so be it...

Exactly right.

None here either.

Is *anyone* receiving email alerts to subscribed posts?

Is this not a big deal to other people? I just don`t understand.

We are told by the admin in this thread that the email alerts were fixed. Not true!

Are they still looking into this? Are they aware that the problem still exists? Do they care?

It appears our hosting provider disabled the settings over the weekend for allowing the forum to send emails when we asked them to update our sendmail program. It should be working now.

And apparently we do care, look at threads, fix problems as they come up, and offer a free forum for your use. Thanks for not noticing.

If anyone is still having issues, please check:

Notification Type:

- Control Panel Only

- Immediate, Sends Email

- Daily, Send Email once a day if updates.

- Weekly, Sends Email once a week if updates.

Also, be sure it is not going to your spam folder.

Thanks for the response/update.

I will see if my email alerts are working.

Still no email alerts as far as I can tell.

I was checking the server logs. There are several people who subscribe to this thread who appear to have an incorrect email address or have a spam filter that is bouncing emails. This includes: Auto Concierge, Kean, vmunoz, and landcruiser.

Please check:

1. Be sure the email address in the control panel is correct.

2. Add webmaster@autopia.org or the domain autopia.org to your spam filter whitelist

3. Check your spam folder for emails from webmaster@autopia.org. If there are, look for a "not Spam` option.

You should then start seeing your subscribed thread emails.

**Bunky** · 09-20-2010, 05:03 PM

I see a long list of subscribed threads in my profile and double checked my settings. They are set to instant.

Nice to have that feature back, isn`t it?!

I rely on email notifications extensively, and post much less without them.

In fact, the only reason that I am making this post is that I received an email notification saying that you posted here.
