Thank you, Chief Wordsmith. This will be the test post to see if it really works.

Sorry to bother again. Seems I thanked for nothing Still no email notifications for watched lists/ topics. Could there be something I overlooked in "My preferences" ? Which radio button should I give a yes for this? It all looks allright....

hmm, it says that I am invisible on the Who's Online, but I have my HIDE set to NO? Oh well, you can always hit details it seems.

My name appears now. I think the Who's Online is a little shaky, but it doesn't really matter.

The time period for "Who's Online" is configurable.
It's currently set to eight minutes. In other words,
every eight minutes the board software takes a snapshot
of who is logged in, in order to report it in the box
on the right.

The Unread Messages are still a mystery to me. Didn't we used to go to the first unread message? No matter what, I get shunted back to the top of the thread and have to scroll through everything to get to any new posts. Am I missing a setting or feature?

Sort of a funny irony that Jackie is one of the top posters.
Liked the old face pictures better.

Oh no...Anna S, my title right now says 'addict '. I carefully hold on to the written word.

speaking of titles, that seems to be the one constant around here, no matter how often upgrades are instantiated.

'addict '

An addict from the Netherlands. How tolerant.

That's true, because I still get emails only on some subscribed topics, no matter how often I do the necessary things. This makes me run all over the place and it substancially increases my post numbers.

Well,I guess this is still the place for remarks on things not running smooth. I still get email notifications for only some of the subscribed threads. I click the v down the post I make, it appears in my Watched Topics list, but no emails get through.
f.i. not from this one.

Just to let you know and thanks if this can be helped.

I've never used this feature -- do you generally get notified of your own posts?

Yes, it is in the 'My Preferences'dep. in the lower half of the page.

' By default should anything added to your Watch Lists be emailed to you? ' + radio button.


Any post from a topic you added to you Watched Topics used to give an email notification, also directly about your own last post.


(I just got one in for your post on "improve its weaknesses")
It used to work perfect on the old board , but ever since the change it only works partly.
