E-Mail Notification For Replies Stopped Working
For 10 days now, I have not been receiving e-mail notifications for replies posted in Forums, primarily the Firefox Support Forum, where I have answered a question or am watching a thread.
I spend 1-2 hours (on average) per day trying to resolve people's problems with Firefox, and it's extremely frustrating to not know when someone has replied. Attempting to remember which posts I'm involved with is challenging, when people are adding new questions on a rapid basis, and I'm looking for other questions to reply to. Clicking on MozillaZine Forum Index and then clicking on "Check my posts" to see if someone's replied is a very slow and inefficient way to get the job done.
I've checked with my ISP to see if they thought the relatively high volume of mail from "forums @ mozillazine.org" caused their spam blocker to kick in. Not the case. Specifically whitelisted the forums e-mail address with them, and am monitoring what they consider spam. No other problems with my e-mail except this.
Has anyone else experienced this? And does anyone know how to fix it?

I just had a weird thing happen, I hit the back button to return to the list of my posts, after adding a post to a thread therein, and it took me to Kerz's profile. What's up with that?

Getting back to reality (or should that be pareility), changing my e-mail address didn't work, as far as getting the borked e-mail notification system to function, but I did start getting Kerz's e-mails. Jeezus, he gets a lot of crap. Moving along to Pim's second suggestion, I've changed just about evertyhing that was 'yes' in my profile to 'no' and submitted it.
That includes avatars. Do you know how many more posts you can see on a page without them? And what a pleasure it is not to have to stare at a jockstrap while I type this? And now when I tell Google Earth to find where I live, it takes me to Baja Canada. Where the hell is that? Or WHEN is that? A new country born out of the ashes of a future nuclear confrontation between France and Canada?
Now going to revert all prefs back to 'yes' from 'no' and maybe, hopefully, it'll kickstart the *%&@#$ e-mail notification to replies system...

Changing the "notify me" setting and other prefs in the profile, and then changing them back, unfortunately did nothing to resolve this. Nor did logging off and logging back in again (I hadn't logged off in about 3 months). Worth a try. Pim, thank you for the two suggestions and, no, I never laughed.
Time to PM Kerz - anyone know if he's on vacation? If he is, who else can I write to?

Those of you clearly waxing nostalgic over this character might find these definitions of <i>nonpareil</i> interesting:
