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.

Hi Linus,

Actually, anyone who might know this. I am looking around for more information about working with the gallery. Specifically the albums. I can't find anything like an overview or an FAQ.

I want to find out how to re-order photos within albums for adding and deleting to keep them current, how to choose the cover shot on each, what if I have a pic not in an album and want to move it into or out of. Those kinds of things and other questions I don't even know yet because I am just starting to try it. I need it s-l-o-w-l-y, I'm a bit challenged.

Is there a thread or FAQ?

Thank you

We haven't created a thread or FAQ. At the bottom of your gallery you should be able to sort based on date uploaded, however (either ascending or descending in date). I'll have to check into the others later to see if I can provide some simple instructions.

Hrmm... I did a little poking on the back-end (QUIET, Ya PREVERTS!) and hopefully that helped.

I just checked it and it is working. I've restarted the email server so hopefully it's working for you. If not, when I get home this weekend I'll look into it further to see if there is anything else that I can do to get it working for you.

No, no, no!!!! I love it when you all poke in the back-end (and, for once, I'm NOT being dirty).

It's working beautifully now!

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!

If I baked, you'd have a cake.

It'd be smooched from the journey, but it would be there.

That's all I'm sayin'.

No. Because the gallery uses some java and flash.
