Maybe so ... but we seem to have lost the ability to edit our comments once posted.

You're right. This will be fixed shortly.

Do follow notifications work again/yet???

I used to get e-mails about new comments when I followed a thread, but that functionality seemed to cease some time ago... Haven't paid attention in a while, though, so maybe that it an old (resolved) issue. I have followed this thread, so I'll see what happens!

Archrichard - comment/follow notifications have never stopped working, to our knowledge. If you are not receiving notifications try to the following:

• make sure you are actively following the posts by checking the "follow" link at the top (it should be blue and say "Unfollow" if you are following it
• make sure that your email address is current in your account settings
• make sure that the notification emails are not getting filtered by your email client into your spam/junk folder or any other type of folder (like "bulk" or "forums")

Checked all that, not working. Have asked about this before, and had feedback from others that notification is sporadic.

We would see errors in our server logs if notifications were not getting delivered successfully. If you come across this again, please let us know, indicating the time of the comment and a link to the page where it's located.

Well, all of my comments from this thread, for example.

This topic is followed, and I have clicked notify me via e-mail about new comment below this comment entry form...

(Or do these cancel each other out somehow?)

It looks like you are using a Gmail account. Try copy/pasting this into your Gmail search field:

from:archinect.com subject:"new comments in" in:all

Or is it back up?

The edit comment feature isn't working...

William - yes, quizzical pointed that out above ^
This will be fixed by tomorrow.
 

Very good, thanks! I generally use that account from a Thunderbird client. Had to go to the g-mail web ap for the search...Alerts were spammed, which is weird because I had been receiving them to this account previously with no problem.

Google in its infinite wisdom must have tightened filters. Thanks, again, though for the tech help. (Shoulda, woulda, couldda figured this out on my own but didn't due to faulty assumption - I broke the first rule of troubleshooting "Question everything"!)

OK

Thanks!

:-)

Archrichard - great to hear you found them.

To make sure that they don't go into spam, add [email protected] to your whitelist and address book. Hopefully that will solve the problem.

Also, you can create a filter in Gmail like this for a fool-proof way to stop the spam-filtering...

Oops...

We really need to get comment editing back up ;)

Got it, thanks for the explainer with screen-shot. I appreciate that it takes time to do that.

I hope this is useful to others as well.

At this point, I think I have conveyed to my g-mail account the importance of communications from Archinect!

Again, tx!
