I don't seem to be getting any posts from this forum anymore.

It has been around 4 days now since I have had a message in my in-box saying I have a answer to any of my postings.

Can someone look into it for me please.

Phil

This is weird - we have just come back for giving the birds their evening meal and Hil found a dead 2 day old baby at the back of the nest bowl!

can you explain what you mean phil "message in inbox"

how do you normally know someone has replied to a topic your following/posted on...?


as you will know, top right corn shows notifications, is this still showing, or is it not...?

Hi David

Take for instance the posting I am replying to.

Normally, when one is involved with a posting, one gets an email telling you that you have a reply to a posting.

For the past 4/5 days I have NOT had any emails from the forum, even though I have a few postings that I am interested in.

Right now, if I want to know if anyone has commented on any of the subjects I have posted or have commented on - I have to go to the actual forum, click on the subject and then see what people have written.

Phil

go to your profile at top of page phil, click preferences, and go down the list, it will be the 6th down, and says notify me to my email address . look across does it say yes or no,

These thing happen Phil probably crawled out to the edge of the nest bowl and got kicked out by its parents or some other bird went in that box accidentally and the cock or hen that was sitting chased the bird out and dragged the youngster out with it

got another dead new hatch from same nest when i went to lock must be too cold for them -2 and a cold breeze when i locked up at 4.30

David - I have checked everything in 'My Profile' and 'Noyfy me to my email address' was already ticked YES.

By the way - did not get a notification of your posting.

What's to do now?

Phil

do you mean a notification to your email address phil...? if you do it could be the settings on your email account.


I get notifications at the top right corner of the forum, plus you see the latest posts on the left hand side of the page.

I don't go into my emails to see if I have a reply, I don't need to because im on the forum quite a lot during the day.

Disappointing as it is Denise I suggest it's hard breeding when the weather is so cold as such & especially when one is new to the game etc.

Yes David - that is exactly what I mean. Ever since I joined the forum, I have been notified when I have had a reply or new posting on a subject I have been watching.

Buy for about a week now, I have NOT been getting anything from the forum, unless I go onto the forum and search down the subjects.

I am sure I have not done anything to my system to stop notifications from the forum reaching me.

I am totally confused!

Phil
p.s. I just wonder what would happen if someone sent me a PM?
