Topic: Renewing notifications

Is there some way to renew the receiving of notifications for posts by connected writers? I seem to have stopped getting them from several persons, when I should be getting them (and have in the past).

Does "disconnecting" and "reconnecting" work? or is that even possible?

Re: Renewing notifications

I still get notifications, so I don't know. Ask Sol.

Re: Renewing notifications

Well, that's the problem, Janet. I get notifications for some, but not all of my connections. I used to get all of them, but lately some have stopped for some reason. Not sure why that's happening.

Sol, If you are around, is there something you can do?

Re: Renewing notifications

You might check your active connections to see if the "receive updates" option is in the "yes" mode. Of course it shouldn't have changed if you didn't change it, but stranger things have happened in the Twilight Zone. Take care. Vern

Re: Renewing notifications

If unchecked, then all notifications would stop, not just some of them.

Not true. They can be changed individually. Take care. Vern

Re: Renewing notifications

As Vern said, you can control from which connections you receive notifications. I would change them all to receive no notifications, then back to receive notifications. That should flush any erroneous settings out of the database. Also PM Sol for help.

Re: Renewing notifications

The notifications are still going out as usual. It could be your ISP or your email client. Did you check your spam folders?

Re: Renewing notifications

Initially, I went to my settings and verified the box was checked to receive notifications - it was checked. Then I went to the list of connections and verified they were all set to receive also. They were. My ISP isn't filtering any of my emails as I went to them in a chat window last year and told them I didn't want anything filtered as my email client would do that. They removed their initial filters. I now receive spam as well as valid emails, but still nothing from one writer in particular. Sol, among those emails you saw, were there any from Mikira? She's been putting up chapters and I'm not getting notifications when she does it. That's one that I am particularly interested in receiving.
