OPaul Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Ever since that server slowdown the other day I haven't been receiving the topic reply emails, are they not being sent out anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokano Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I still get mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 15, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 15, 2004 No. They're only sent after you've been inactive at least 15 minutes, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPaul Posted April 15, 2004 Author Share Posted April 15, 2004 Inactive? What do you mean? Is this new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary King Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Inactive? What do you mean? Is this new? It's always been like that; that's how most forums operate. Inactive means, when you close the browser containing Neowin, the forum still marks you as 'browsing' / 'online' for 15 more minutes (or whatever Neowin sets it to, but 15 minute is generally default). Then after that, the server emails you. This is to make sure that you are really not browsing anymore, because you might just be reading a page that takes you 15 minutes to read, etc. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPaul Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 Well it's never done that before with me. I used to get them no matter how long since I was last on Neowin. But anyways, I don't think that's the issue here. I'm not receiving any at all now. Perhaps Spymac is filtering them or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Most of the time I recieve emails while I am browsing neowin, and I do not read topics for over 5 minutes let alone 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronic Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 From OPaul: I posted about the problem about not receiving topic reply emails the other day. Well I changed my email address to something else and it worked fine, so I then went and set it back to Spymac and now I'm not receiving the validation email. Is there someway I can get the validation email sent duke16@netzero.com instead, I'm assuming Spymac has some junk filter set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokano Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Me too, I always get the notifications right away And oh yeah, at first most neowin e-mails went to my Junk E-mail Folder in hotmail. Then I added neowin to my contacts and it worked fine hoped that helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
