I had to turn OFF email notifications for Forum/Thread subscriptions and they will have to stay OFF for quite some time.



Unfortunately, a bunch of members have flagged our notification emails as SPAM even though they have to OPT-IN to receive those notifications and as a result we have been blacklisted by many of the larger email services, like gmail etc.



This means i will have to spent days/weeks going back an forth with a bunch of blacklist service providers to get this straightened out.

Thanks for your hard work. I'm guessing that some folks have that flagging automated and don't even realize it happened? I'm hoping?

Posted by: ndfrigi May 10 2021, 03:12 PM

Thank you again @SirAndy!

Posted by: Cairo94507 May 10 2021, 03:21 PM

I am sorry you are having to deal with this. I hope you can work it out so that never happens again causing you to waste your time. Thanks for taking care of all of us.

Would it help any if un-subscribed to anything?

Posted by: VegasRacer May 10 2021, 03:37 PM

What an unnecessary PITA.

Thank you fixing it and protecting us Sir Andy.

I had an odd thing happen with gmail and the PM this AM, a member PM'ed me and I got the gmail, but I couldn't find the PM anywhere in my 914world personal message page.

Thanks, @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=179 !
I haven't received e-mail notifications for a few years; seems like Optimum (Altice) rejects any auto emails generated through a Verizon server (so one techie told me). Some sort of Pi$$ing match, probably. Tried calling their Customer Service folks a few times, but gave up.

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=179 - Thanks so much for all the crap you do to support us!

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=179 - Thanks for keeping the lights on. IT is a thankless job...

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=179 - very sorry to hear this.

Yup - I learned the first week that I joined (several years ago now), that I subscribe to so many topics so I can find them later that my mailbox was exploding . . .stopped that quickly. I figure that if I need to know how the dice are rolling, I'll just sit at the table and watch closely. . .

We appreciate all that you and the administrators do - more than words/emojis can express.

Sorry to hear shit like this happened, Andy.

Nobody should have to spend precious time to deal with other people's F-ups. It's even worse when you reach the age of limited headroom

It IS appreciated Andy

Posted by: Movin6 Jun 1 2021, 08:46 PM

Sorry to hear. Sounds like a male version of a Karen complained about their own notices?!

Was wondering why I wasn't receiving...

Thanks SirAndy for all the work. Keeping a 914 site running likely is harder than keeping a 914 running!

Just saw this thread.

Thanks Andy for everything you do!

Posted by: Tom_T Oct 2 2021, 11:21 AM

I just saw it after asking Andy whatz-up.

Too bad a few ruined it for all, & caused Andy such headaches.

I've been so buried this year & 2019-20 working 10-16/7 days that I've had no time for anything, but had wondered why my 914world subscriptions weren't coming anymore.

I just saw that they were all no email notifications when Jeff Bowlsby PMed to check up on how I was doing with COVID & all - & I got that email notification on PMs at least. Good guy to check up on us.

I was wondering why I seemed to be disconnected suddenly from the forums.
Hope you can get it back to normal!

Thanks SirAndy, It wasn’t me, I just arrived.

Almost makes the pm system useless. If you don't visit the site for s month, you could miss a lot of important messages.

So for a bit of clarification, pms will not work?

PMs work just fine, this is about email notifications ...

Gosh what a pain in the ass we are!!! Not an admission of guilt.
Thanks Andy for all the work it takes to keep this forum up and running.

Thank you my brother in tech for continuing to serve us. It is a lot of work that typically goes un-noticed.

I sent $25 today.

Thanks for making this place possible.

A work-around link for e-mail updates takes me directly to the threads I've followed or have posted in. I've saved it in "Bookmarks" on my computer. One click!

Go to Notifications on main site.
My Controls will appear above the Meme with the Red 914
Click on it.
Next screen will be:Welcome to Your Control Panel
"View Topics" under Subscriptions in the far left column should give your anything followed or posted in.

Second:


Third:


Voila!

Posted by: Bruce Hinds Oct 28 2022, 05:17 PM

any idea when and if the email notification may come back on? I really miss seeing stuff.
