    E-Mail Notifications

    I got 63 e-mails in my inbox this morning when someone replied to the Post Race loads of times.

    I always thought that you only got one notification of a reply until you visit the site??? - Apparentley this is no longer the case
    PHP || MySql || Apache || Get Firefox || OpenOffice.org || Click || Slap ILMV || 1337 c0d || GotoMyPc For FREE! Part 1, Part 2

    | PHP Session --> Database Handler * Custom Error Handler * Installing PHP * HTML Form Handler * PHP 5 OOP * Using XML * Ajax * Xslt | VB6 Winsock - HTTP POST / GET * Winsock - HTTP File Upload

    Latest quote: crptcblade - VB6 executables can't be decompiled, only disassembled. And the disassembled code is even less useful than I am.

    Spread happiness and joy. Rate good posts.

    The system should only send one message until the next time you visit. This is to prevent your inbox from getting a million (or 63) emails that all say the same thing.

    I've noticed before that it doesn't work. I often get several notifications about posts to the same thread.

    Same here, that's why I finally turned it off. If it was an interesting enough of a thread that I want to follow it, I will.

    TG
    * I don't respond to private (PM) requests for help. It's not conducive to the general learning of others.*
    * I also don't respond to friend requests. Save a few bits and don't bother. I'll just end up rejecting anyways.*

    Yea I've noticed this, it doesnt always happen becuase I have had one notification and serveral replies have been there.

    While your on that case can I mention also that I rarely get the notifications within a couple of hours of a reply (I do sometimes though). At first I put this down to a ISP problem on my end, however I can receive emails from other people when I should be getting these notifications .
    When your thread has been resolved please edit the original post in the thread ()
    and amend "-[RESOLVED]-" to the end of the title and change the icon to , Thank you.

    When posting Code use the [VBCode]Code Here[/VBCode] tags to be able to use the code highlighting.

    I just want to make it clear that my experience was not just with the Post Race thread. It seems to happen with a lot of (all?) Chit Chat threads. I don't remember it happening with threads in other forums but then again I rarely don't respond to those.

    Well I haven't been in the ChitChat section for a while now, this has happened for me in the PHP & Games sections though .

    Makes sence, even though I don't remember this ever happening...
