Hi,
I haven't been receiving notifications of replies to threads since the 17th December, nothing has changed, they just stopped? Just me?
Just me?
I stopped receiving the 'you entered competition' emails. last one was 18th qnap competition. alerts@hexus email..
don't have the thread notification one enabled
not got any @mailer.hexus ones either since 18th
Just to confirm, I've not received any notifications since 18th either.
But I actually don't mind this... as all they were doing to me were clogging up my inbox.
Haven't had any issues myself, competition entry emails have arrived as expected.
Perhaps you are all using the same email provider as each other, and said provider has wrongly blacklisted the HEXUS email server(s)? I'm assuming you've already checked the Spam folder of course.
EDIT: Although it seems I missed the point about it mainly being about thread notifications. I rarely set thread notifications up, so I've no idea about that one. I'll add one for this and a few others to see what happens.
EDIT 2: Thread notifications successfully arrived to my email.
I have had the competition ones but that's it, no others including this thread. Which makes it unlikely my provider has blacklisted Hexus, I am using Zoho email
using custom domain plusnet email.
just subbed to this thread to test those notifications. will sub to a fw others aswell just to check.
nothing in spam, or the blocklist in outlook.
edit; nope, no thread notification emails either, had subbed to boris boss, and QOTW. they've had replies, I haven't had email. yes I did set it to instant email notification in sub settings.
Strange, I haven't changed my message settings for years it just stopped working, hopefully someone from Hexus will look into it a bit closer
ooh ooh.. someone poke something?
just got instant email at 12;31. they posted at 12:26Quote:
Dear stevie lee,
phoenix198 has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - QOTW: What did you get for Christmas? - in the HEXUS News forum of HEXUS Community Discussion Forums.
This thread is located at:
https://forums.hexus.net/hexus-news/...-new-post.html
Here is the message that has just been posted:
5 minute notification time.
and I also got the competition entry confirmed one, for the Kingston competition.
if you didn't poke anything. then the only thing I did different to all the other competition entries was to tick the ' Please tick here if you would like to receive
new HEXUS competitions and Newsletters via e-mail.' box.
maybe cus I dint tick it in the other 23 competitions or so., it unsubbed me from all the hexus emails that are sent. and ticking it said 'oy, i'm still here, send me stuff'.
Threads started working again today, how odd
Maybe the server had an xmas holiday it didn't inform Hexus about?
The christmas tree lights were taking power away from the email server
was going to make anew thread but then I remembered about this one. been distracted (power supply breaking, GPU going with it RIP 750ti:( ) so not posted earlier.
this is happening again. i've not received any emails from alerts@hexus or alerts@mailer. hexus since 31/12/20 so nothing dated 2021 atall. no 'thanks for entering competitions', no weekly 'here's articles we posted' emails on fridays. no emails saying 'you have a DM'. absolutely nothing
had a poke last night in my settings to see if the email was correct, but that just broke my account.. thanks Matt B for fixing it :hexlub:
this morning I tested DM's to see if I get a DM email. it might have been fixed when matt poked my account, but it wasnt, no email received.
yes I have checked junk/spam, nothing hexus related is blocked. checked on web server in case outlook not downloading, nothing on there either.
wonder if its anything to do with being in a different user green name club thing? seem to remember you did a server move not that long ago? maybe some settings got missed?
No its not your user group mate, I am still struggling to receive emails from Hexus, I either get none at all or a load come in together
Might be something for HEXUS forum staffers to look at - Jonatron for example ??
Could be as its very random, doesn't seem to have any pattern to it
So, I still get notification in a bulk weekly for the threads (as per account settings), the alerts as and when the competitions go live and when I enter them, and the newsletter. Just pointing out that it's not affecting everyone this time...
on main email it's still affecting me..:(
for todays WD competition I tried my other email address, just incase I had somehow set up a block/spam thing in outlook to the hexus emails, even though the block list only has 2 russian emails in it. , got nothing in outlook, checked in the webmail and there it was, a confirmation email in the junk folder, marked it as 'NOT SPAM' then outlook grabbed it.
not received anything on main email this year, the one in my account settings.
can one of you lovely hexus bods, check whether my main email is actually in your outbox and stuff been sent to it or not?
starting to think that plusnet itself might be blocking them. https://community.plus.net/t5/Tech-H...n/td-p/1704670
its happened before on other websites. might have happened wit this one?
if so. i'll switch my account over to other email, seen as that one works.
For me its now changed to once in a while I won't receive any notifications
Do we have a list of what domains are working and which are not. So far I've got:
Not working:
hotmail.com
plusnet
I'm with yahoo and its completely random, sometimes will get notifications instantly, other times several at once
when i tried my alt gmail acount, i didn't get email either via outlook (office 2016 version), but went to mail.google website, clicked 'more' under categories, and the email was in spam. marked it not spam and emails work now for gmail.
main plusnet one is still borked,
