Jazzmoose Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Not to be contrary, but I've never understood the purpose of this particular "service". I mean, it's not like you guys never show up here, and it's not like you can't look at the indicators on the left of the screen and see where new posts are. The only thing I can tell this is good for is screwing up posting when the email is down. But then I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Better head to the political forum; don't want to waste a good grump!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 I got a couple of PMs today without the usual accompanying e-mail notification, so I think it is indeed down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Just tried to send a PM (to mikeweil), got an error message, had to close down the pop-up window, and nothing is in my sent items folder. Has the PM arrived, nevertheless? ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 (edited) The PMs may be working. I just received two copies of the same message from the same sender. As if that person sent the message twice or the system sent it twice and I received it twice. I then sent a message to another person and received the error message from the PM system. Yet, my message may have gone through. Not sure. Edited June 21, 2004 by wesbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Wazzup anyway? I have trouble replying to threads, too. Once there are two replies, once it just gets lost, and only in one of four cases was I re-directed to the thread after posting, in all other cases, nothing happened, I had to re-enter the http-address in order to find my way back and check if my post was indeed processed once or twice or not at all... ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Just tried to send a PM (to mikeweil), got an error message, had to close down the pop-up window, and nothing is in my sent items folder. Has the PM arrived, nevertheless? ubu PM has reached me and has been answered. But I still do not get any notifications. Did not get error messages like you described, and did not have trouble posting etc. Everything works as usual except for the e-mail notifications.

Peter Johnson Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Getting this old chestnut again when trying to send a PM: Mail Error! SMTP protocol failure!

catesta Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 For what it's worth, I just sent a PM and did not get the error message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Anybody continuing to have problems with e-mail? Another board member tried to contact me through the e-mail option, and I never received the messages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
