You can verify that threads are set for email notification by going to the UserCP --> List subscriptions and verifying that it has the word "Instant" beside the check box. If it doesn't and you want it to be instant, select the thread(s) in question, go to the bottom where the drop down menu option is and select "Instant email notification". Then select Go.

Actually, I always have. Received the instant notifications, that is. And all but once it's worked. And now it doesn't work again and I just cannot remember what the solution was from before. I remember thinking that it wasn't a whole lot of trouble to fix but am drawing a blank as to WHAT it was that was done to correct the issue of me no longer receiving the instant notifications per usual.

So, I know how to set them up. I checked last night and they are all set up on bfp to receive instant notifications via email.

They aren't in spam; I'm not getting any. I was bored at work today and was thinking about it and remembered that Bessie (my curmugeon computer) had had some updates done the night before I noticed things went wonky for me. I'm old school with Windows XP. I think my updates changed something in how I receive info from the site because even when I log in and try to go to new posts, it tells me there are none. But, if I go in through another old email notification or if I go directly to the home screen and log in, I can clearly see there are tons of recent posts in threads.

So, my computer is not receiving ANY links or info from the site. I'd really like to remedy that, please.
