Check your old posts !

[Parangles]

I just entered ' Parangles' in Search and was ashamed to find
that after I had stopped looking at some of my posts there
had been lengthy and very helpful replies posted that I had never
seen or responded to.
My apologies to all - Many replies were very useful and I saved them. Thanks.

I think that the auto-notification doesn't work right all the time. I often find "old" posts that I've been involved in that have many posts after mine, but I never received a notification that the thread has been posted to......

[wolfie]

when you use quick reply are you checking the boxes?;)

[TwoRails]

Yep....

[Fuze]

I got rid of that function - way too many emails in my inbox every day.

[aym]

me too, I don't use it, but I check all of the new posts every day.

[TimPoet]

Gotta use auto-notification

[Force Flow]

I don't use it. It clogs my hotmail account. I visit here just about every day, so I don't think I miss a whole lot.

[ILLPHIL]

yeah I come here almost everyday, and I try to amke sure to get to all the threads I am involved in

my email notification quit working long ago,i do check box and it is also in the thing(dont remember what its called) you fill out to be notified,i miss a lot of posts,can't find them anymore.tried to get it fixed wrote doc , i think it was, but got no response so gave up. my advice is very limited(not much knowledge) so it is probably irrevelent.

My inbox is almost ONLY pcmech emails. I can recall a few times where it hasn't worked and I've realized weeks later that there were replies I hadn't read, but besides that, it always works for me.

[raftero]

no wolfie i haven't recieved any for about a year.just suddenly quit.

[TwoRails]

raftero, did you check your user profile to see if it's checked-off in there for auto notify?

[GaryRouth]

A few months ago I switched from using the auto-notification to just doing a Search by Username when I 1st visit the forum each day. My inbox was starting to overflow. But in Linux I had it set to pop an icon when new mail was in - so now while my in-box is less crowded, I'm a little slower answering posts.

[p.s. --"Search by Username" meaning that I search my own Username - which shows all the threads I'm active in]

[juppy]

GaryRouth > That's what I do too, just search for my own username and it shows the threads with new posts in them since my last visit.

[raftero]

yes my profile is checked to notify.
had not thought about checking post garyroth,thats a good idea.
