Gripper 0 Posted February 23, 2013 Hello When I first signed up (maybe 3-4 years ago) when I posted a comment in the main site, or in the forum, i was sent a notification email to my hotmail email address. But, for a while now, i have not been recieving these emails when i post comments. Is their a section where i can re-set this setting on TC somewhere? I have not been able to find it. Kind regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JWeston 493 Posted February 23, 2013 I 'think' it might be something to do with the 'follow topic' setting? You can set it to email in notifications. That said, when I click on 'Follow Topic' nothing happens (not sure if that's something to do with Google Chrome) so I just check back to see what's occurring.

TWINSET 1793 Posted February 23, 2013 To get notifications, you need to follow a topic Mine was set years ago to follow any topic I post in, but I've no idea where that setting is now To manually follow a topic, click the follow button, top right; That should bring up an options box for following, with email notifications preferences; Then, the topic will show as having followers and you'll receive notification whenever anyone posts Once you're following a topic, the follow button becomes 'unfollow' so, if you don't want to follow the topic any more, click it to unfollow If the follow button doesn't work, try logging out of the mainsite then coming back to the forums - works for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TWINSET 1793 Posted February 23, 2013 Found it. To auto-follow every topic you post in; Click on the down-arrow next to your username, top right Choose My Settings Left hand side, choose Notification Options You can still 'unfollow' individual topics if you so wish Emails from comments on the mainsite are different, if you receive a comment on a showroom item, you should receive an email, there's no 'opt-out' unless you turn your comments off. Easiest way to test mainsite email is leave yourself a comment and see if you get a mail. If you don't, check your spam-bin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JWeston 493 Posted February 23, 2013 Thanks, Sir. Hope that sorts the other chap too. Typically the 'follow' button but is now working and I didn't do anything. Compooters are Voodoo Boxes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gripper 0 Posted February 24, 2013 Hello I have tried clicking on the "Follow this topic" buttom (at the top of this page) but it does not add me. But i have set the Notification Option to "Auto follow all topics i post in" so hopefully this will work for the furum side of things. Not sure about the main site, when i have posted comments on other peoples walls, and I have used the comments history to see that they have replied, i haven't received an email telling me that they have replied. Just one of those things i guess.. Thanks for the help tho guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TWINSET 1793 Posted February 24, 2013 Have you tried after logging out on the main site? The forum works best if you're not logged in on the main site As for comments, as far as I'm aware, TC has never sent a mail telling you your comments have been replied to, only that your showroom entry has received a comment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gripper 0 Posted March 1, 2013 ...hmm, now you mention it, perhaps I'm getting confused, and I was receiving comments on my showroom entry's (i think your right TWINSET). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
