In my profile settings for trains.com I have it set up to where any topic I reply to is supposed to automatically be put into my “watched topic list”.
In turn, I also selected to recieve email notification when a new reply is posted to any of my watched topics.
Unless I manually click the “watch this topic” icon within a thread, it does NOT go into my watched topic list, even though I DID reply to the topic.
I was ust wondering if anyone else was having the same trouble?
I checked and re-checked all my profile settings, and everything is set up correctly, but when I reply to a thread, that topic does NOT automatically go into my list of watched topics, therefore, I never recieve the email notifications I requested.
I shouldn’t have to click the “watch this topic” links if I have it set up to do it auomatically, should I?
In my settings, everything I reply to is automatically supposed to go into my “watched topic list”, yet I just created this topic, and it does NOT appear in my list of watched topics list.
Because of the glitch, I won’t recieve any email notifications on this topic when someone replies to it.
The only way this thread would get into my list, is if I actually click on the “Watch this topic” link, even though it should go there automatically, simply because I replied to it.
John - these guys are makin’ me behave…I told 'em what you guys do over there in the Club Car Lounge and they made me go to Confession to the Bishop. Maybe I’ll sneak over there when everyone’s asleep…(wink)
Not only is this a good question for a topic, but I believe there are other things that we have found that don’t work, besides Jimbo’s snow blower. For example, the photo with your profile. Has anyone ever gotten that to work?
Well Jmbo shouldn’t feel too bad, because MY snowblower crapped the bed this year, too…LOL
No, I can’t get a profile pic to work either. I also cannot get a AVATAR as well.
The Avatar problem might be my own browser perhaps, but the more I think of it, I’ve only seen the admins, have an avatar here, but no reg. members?
OH NO, Wabash is form OHIO!!! No. Another one. Only thing worse than a TEXAN is a BUCKEYE. [;)] [a little private joke on Tom and Buckeye] I sent “management” an email asking them to give us some insight on this topic. We’ll hear something today I’m sure. They are good about responding.
I guess this will be my test. Notification box checked. Someone respond so I can see if it works. [:)]
I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t.
In regards to the question about the newsletters not being received. There are a lot of possibilities why you wouldn’t be receiving. The newsletters are sent from maillist.trainsmail.com – so it could be that your ISP if filtering or blocking the trainsmail.com domain. If you know you’re signed up and not receiving them, I could check later this week to see if they were returned or bounced back for some reason.
BTW, I checked my “watched topics list” and it was listed. So I’m technically on the list. [:)]
One question, if you’re not receiving notification, are you using the quick reply that appears at the bottom of this page or clicking the “Reply to Topic” link to reply? It might be that the Quick Reply isn’t adding to the notificaiton list.
Click on my profile…is that the picture you’re talking about? And you’re right Buck…too many things don’t work (especially when you’re AARP legal…(sigh)
I received a notification from Jim’s post. Seems to be working for me.
Perhaps your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is blocking email or you have to allow email to be received from here? The email notifications are sent from olpmaster@trains.com
David, the checked block on topic reply works. If you go to the top of the topic and tell it to “watch this topic” it only works one time. Once you have re-entered and looked at topic, you have to do the “watch this topic” again. On other forums, once you ask to “watch this topic”, it keeps on notifying you until there are no more posts or you stop the watching. That is the question.
