Question for Moderators and Administrators.

How often are email notifications concerning replies to threads sent by the Major Geeks servers? I'm asking because today, actually a few minuites ago, I received notification that someone replied to a thread that I was subscribed to, and they replied yesterday or earlier today. Just curious!

 

I seem to get them fairly quickly, although I don't know how often they send them.

Have you checked your settings?

There are different intervals for email notification.

 

I usually get mine pretty quick too.

 

Adrynalyne,

Thanks for the quick reply. I checked my email app. (OE Express ) and I have it set to scan for new messages every 3 minuites. Sometimes I get replies from MG immediately, and other times it takes a while!

 

Me too.

Sometimes I get a notification within a couple of minutes, sometimes the next day!

It's always been that way for me, and there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it.

 

You misunderstood me. I meant user options here:

 

That could be the fault of your mail server. I get mail instantly on my acct from gmail but takes up to 4 hrs for yahoo.....

Then again, maybe someone does not like you here!

 

I've had three different ISP's (and 4 different accounts) since I've been a member here, and it hasn't changed the notification delay, so I doubt it's due to the mail server.

Possible, but unlikely.

Not a big deal, it doesn't bother me, more curious than anything.


As far as not being liked, plenty of people here don't like me, but I'm still here.

 

Adrynalyne,

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but the options that you mentioned in MG were already checked.

 

@Insomniac,

Glad to see that I'm not the only one to experience this! And what is not to like about you? You have a cool avatar, are Billy Ray Cryus's no.1 Fan, are afraid of roaches, and have a fixation for Lev and AbbySue.

Seriously, I like to pick at people and can take as well as I give. A silence of two days or more means that you got me and I can't think of a reply!

 

I have subscription mode set on "instant email notification". (Always have)

That doesn't always happen though, I don't know why.

It can be anywhere from a couple of minutes to a day or so.


I have mine sent to hotmail (Windows Live Mail as of recently). Don't know if that is the culprit or not.

 

I know my Cox email is crappy. Its slower than my any of my web based accounts.

 

When I get time, I'll try forwarding to another email account and see if that helps.

That's about the only thing I can think of.

 

I know on my sbc yahoo mail...when someone e-mails me a remote assistance...Sometimes I get it, Literally, within one second!! Other times that same person can send it from the same place/server, etc., and it comes anywhere from 4 hrs to 2 days later!!

Quite frustrating!!!!

But to make a long story short....I'm going to say it is your mail server...not MG!!

I have never (to my knowledge) experienced a delay with subscription notifications or any of the other notifications I receive based on my observations in who's on-line. My notifications are always immediate at majorgeeks.com email.

 

Easiest way to resolve this is to give me my own MajorGeeks email address.

I'd also like a MajorGeeks T-Shirt and Admin privileges.

And I'm not against taking money from strangers.

 

I was trying to not be too demanding, but you're right.

I'd also like to be automatically placed on everyone's buddy list, MA's Harley and Dell 24" Widescreen, and Adrynalyne's new PC.


However, I'm leaving this open just in case I think of anything else.

Thanks.
