Is there a place in the Board Preferences where I can turn email notification back on?

For the last week or so I noticed that I wasn't getting any response emails and yet people have been responding to threads I'm in or have started. Let me know if there's a boolean hidden in the background that controls this and whether it's been switched off. While my ISP could all of a sudden decided that these were spam I've been with them for over 20 years so it seems unlikely.

I'm surprised a moderator needs to ask such a question.

My Account --> Edit Posting Defaults

> Notify me upon replies default: No ( )  Yes (•)

Okay, I see it actually one more link below account.

So the problem - I'm still set to 'yes' on 'Notify me upon replies by default'.

I'll have to see if my ISP is swallowing these then.

I'm not getting them either, despite having the option switched on.

I did go back and check the date on this - it appears to have been on or around May 10th. Not sure if that was the demarcation for everyone? If so that might help you pin down the maintenance / updates involved.

Just got my last few emails in the last hour or so.
