Is anyone else having issues with not getting emails of updates to Topics being followed, the Alerts on site for them or the list of most recent postings not working properly?

All ticked here as well. First noticed it yesterday when the right hand side box of most recent messages seemed to be no longer something I could click on to see the posting.

I think that there's been a bit of a site update as I've just noticed that where it used to indicate near the avatar area that someone was "Online" that it now has a green spot in the top left corner.

And the Statistics section on the right of the home page has changed.... New Profiles Posts has replaced New Posts.... No Birthday notifications. And the New Media section up the top

Online is now indicated by a green dot in the top left corner of the avatar pic.

Hey @PhilD do you get any at all or just some but randomly?

Exactly right a big site update was undertaken on Friday

This introduced the new medua gallery, a raft of bug fixes and alot of different new features.

Most importantky we are about to introduce a new style for the site

And the Statistics section on the right of the home page has changed.... New Profiles Posts has replaced New Posts.... No Birthday notifications. And the New Media section up the top

This has definetly chabged well spotted

With the Birthday notifications we are going to have a birthday subforum eith each user getting there own happy Birthday message.

The new style will change this again so stay tuned

To summarise yes we went through a major update quite seamlessly.

Though a few things have changed we have primarily introduced alot of new features.

This time around we gave been a little quiet on this front as the final piece to the puzzle which is a full site redesign are not complete.

The redesign will happen fairly soon though......

If you find things lets discuss them here.

While I have some Topics that are set to send me updates by email, most aren't set that way. In particular the many follow on messages about Bigman's skiting about his win with the jetski had a large amount of replies that didn't get to me until I next logged on and looked at the Topic and neither did they show as Alert's on the Forum itself. This may have been fixed somehow as there does seem to be some showing up now but for a day or so they were not there.

lol...maybe the forum is that smart that it knew it would upset you if it kept on reminding you about it?

Any more info?

Time / date etc?
I noticed that the emails are now sent on behalf of support@expandasdownunder.com not just from that address, maybe spam filters playing a role?

I'm still getting mine, but maybe that could be the reason some are and some aren't getting their emails?
