Nope that’s not it! I just tested by turning on emails for the new forums & gallery thread, only using the ‘manage watched threads’ section. The same way you describe doing it (check the box, choose activate emails at the bottom of the page). And it’s working - the emails land instantly so far. I’ll stop clogging up your journal with tech obsessiveness now I hope you get it sorted. You could always open a specific support request and the site crew will help you directly (ie not in a thread where heaps of other stuff is going in as well).It seems to me that there’s a number of different spots where email notifications can be activated or deactivated and maybe they’re cancelling each other out here n there. AK, under the alerts ‘pull down’, in preferences, there are sub-options for including email alerts. Do those need to be on as well? I’m just guessing... and maybe you have them on already... I just get bugged by this kind of stuff and have OCD ‘needs’ to get it fixed!!
(And it may seem I’m popping up out of the blue the last couple of days - but I lurk here a lot! Don’t always engage but enjoy following along. It’s the new site troubleshooting has brought me out a lot!!)
