Not Receiving Email Alerts

[AYBG]

Thats a sore one how would you pick your top 100 not going to happen eh?

100+ as in those who have posted more than 100 times. Perhaps 10+ is doable for now.

What if emails were to be sent by 3rd party software i.e. 1 email sent to massive distribution group via another system.

I'm not sure that solution is viable because phpbb's email notification is personalised and responsive to individual accounts.

I was reading i through the phpbb forum and I had a thought about the reasons for the excessive notifications. I subscribe to 5 topics and 2 forums and I'm sure there will be other subscribing to most of the forums and a lot of the topics. As the notification emails are sent whenever a new post is made regardless of the number of users that have subscribed to that particular topic it will still counts as a notification. A chit chat type topic like "Movie Gossip and News" generates a notification just the same as the more popular topics like Free Films or "The more tickets available thread - no chat" so why don't you remove the subscribe option on the less important topics. It's probably a lot of work involved but I'm sure there are topics that can be sacrificed so to speak. Another thought might be to restrict the amount of topics an individual can subscribe to and perhaps only allow Mods/Admins to have the full range.

Just some thoughts ..i do work in IT but I'm not at all familiar with the phpbb system.

I think the best option is automatic ban after 2 chatting occurrences in Free Films... this is what causes the most non desirable notifications!

I mentioned before

the only options to control subscriptions to forums or topics are global. Its an all or nothing situation

You cannot pick and choose. Sorry.

Problem seems to be reoccuring with FREE FILM alerts not coming through. Missed 2 today and all previous topics read. Have unsubscribed and resubscribed. Anyone else experiencing this problem ?

[SteveDan]

Dont seem to be getting automatic email alerts from any forums subscribed to....Any ideas or know problems ?

[steve9872]

I don't know why but today I haven't had a single email alert. I even tried subscribing to a number of forums to see if I could increase the number of alerts with no luck. Even PM alerts haven't arrived and they usually come regardless.

[SteveDan]

Subscribed and unsubscribed to all alerts and still getting nothing..
