My inbox used to be flooded with reply's. Then they stooped and I found them in spam. Now: nothing at all !
All boxes checked on my preference page.
What happened ? ... See: screen shot.

I noticed the same behavior myself.... first a few in spam, then not receiving any email except from marketing about once a week.
My long late granddad used to always say......"No news is GOOD news" 😁
I noticed the same thing about two months ago with email notifications of private messages. I was not bothered by it, so never pursued it. Even so, I will add this notification issue to my Monday communication to GBHQ.
Yep, it really didn't bother me much either or I would have asked you or Joe about it....😁
I've never used it. I just check if there are any yellow highlighted numbers next to the bell and the envelope looking thingys next to my name at the top of the page. I get enough e-mail and don't need any more. Bob
A guess, but I believe it is an automatic drop. If no replies or clicking on links provided in e-mails sent then the system drops you from the mailing list. Remember, Auction side is control. (passwords, e-mails, sign -in, all go through auction side)
Sometimes if you've been inactive on the auction side, when you do go there a window pops up asking if you want to receive
e-mail notifications. That is your clue/ time to update, refresh your account.
I'm sure HQ will get 'er fixed.
George, are you still getting the e-mails from the auction side? What are your settings for those? @gesshots
Joe, I just bought a handgun last night and the auction confirmation emails went to my inbox. It appears that the forum notifications are the ones which are going into the SPAM folder. I'm guessing it is a settings issue of some sort.
Hmmm,,,
I planned to contact GBHQ tomorrow about that private advertising issue. I will bring up forum notifications going to SPAM and have them see if there is a solution.
Word came back to me from GBHQ that forum IT recently did a migration of the mail server, which may have caused the issue. IT has been made aware of the issues and will investigate.
See, I actually do things in the forum besides banning people 😎.
