Hi

Does anyone else miss replies to their threads?

Twice this week, while browsing,  I have found replies to my own threads which have not reached my inbox, while others posted at a later date have reached the inbox.  I have not adjusted any settings.   It does not happen often but this week is not the first time replies have not been notified to me and found only by browsing.

Any tips or suggestions to prevent this?

Hi Gerry,

It happens to me sometimes as well.

The easiest way to check if you have replies is to click (top right of the screen)

Gerry -

It has happened to me.  The easiest way is check for replies to follow the directions Tanja provided in her post.

I have found replies by doing the following: If I am interested in a specific posting or possible reply I go to my profile and look for the message I posted. I click on the message and then I look to see if there have been any replies.

Gerry -

I originally thought missing replies was due to my computer or operator error on my part.

Hope you are successful and don't miss any future replies / postings.

Gerry,

This happens all the time to me too, - & so now I do as Tati suggests & check that way.

There seems to be some sort of time delay, - because sometimes they all hit my Mailbox at the same time!!

Best Wishes, Romilly. :)

Hi Gerry

Don;t forget to check that you haven't altered the settings that automatically notify you of replies to your posts.  Also check that they are not getting sent to your junk-mail b y an over-zealous filter - this sometimes happens.

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)
