Hi Christopher,
I think I've found the source of my problem. It's with my server, some of my friends have told me their emails are getting bounced back.
Strange because I've been able to send all my mail.
Thanks for all the advice.

Dear Bob,
Couldn't find anywhere else to put this (do not hesitate to advise where I should have correctly put it) but for some reason I have ceased to receive notification by E-mail of replies. I have not altered anything to stop replies and have only actually found them by checking in now and again. On checking my profile I cannot find anything that has turned off "notification". Help please.
Sue

Hi Sue,
Please check your profile.
=> Notifications and Email -> Edit profile
x Receive RootsChat announcements by email.
x Receive reply notification only for the first unread reply.
x Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic.
You can determine her when you want to receive e-mail notifications
I normall uncheck the last two lines, so I don't autoatically get email notifications,
but turn it on, on the topic itself, for the few topics where I definitely want to be notified)
Underneath this block is a list - Current Topic Notifications
Is the "culprit" in this list ?
If not, you can go to any topic (not just those you have contributed to) and click on the Notify button at the top or bottom of the topic.
regards,
Bob

Dear Bob,
Many thanks for response. However, I suspect something more may be wrong (as if I would know!). I checked the things you said and all was well. However at the bottom of Current Topic Notifications I have just clicked on "unsubscribe" (they were subscribed) to reset it - I put all the ticks back in the box but the note underneath still continues to say I am unsubscribed - it definitely didn't say that until I fiddled with it just now!
Twice today I have received under "replies to your posts" a reply to the subject "receiving unwanted E-mails" - I can't understand why this should have suddenly happened - I did not get an E-mail saying there was a message, nor did I get one for your reply.
If you remember, when I first joined, I was the one who was the cause of wrong E-mails being received - do you think there is a problem again?
Sue

In addition Bob - I just tried to turn on the notification for any reply from you and when I clicked on notify it asked me if I wanted to TURN OFF the notification!

Hi Sue,
I've checked with "admin" and at the moment all your notifications are turned on, including these two:
x Receive reply notification only for the first unread reply.
x Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic.
This means you will always receive notifications, by default.
The notify button is a toggle switch:
if notifications are ON, clicking on this button turns them OFF
if notifications are OFF, clicking on this button turns them ON
regards,
Bob

Sue,
Who is your email provider?
I am with Orange and they are notoriously slow at sending all my mails through.
Most of my Rootschat ones come overnight in one fell swoop

Hi Carol,
My internet provider is BT Broadband (I hope this is what you meant)!
Notifications are switched on and when I try to click on "notify" at the bottom of a post it says "do you want to switch it off" - to me this means it is on and I will or should be, getting a notification. I find messages when I enter Rootschat but there have been no E-mail notifications for a couple of weeks or more.
Sue

Sue,
Are you certain that Rootschat has your correct email address?
Have you made sure they aren't being chucked in your spam box?

Hi Carole,
I have noticed on my profile that it says, under "notification board" that "you are not being notified on any boards at the moment" (or something similar). As I say when I try to use the notify button on individual posts it says "do I want to turn notify off". I think, therefore, it is a problem at that end. HOWEVER, and I hadn't thought of this until you mentioned it, my husband God Bless Him, has been mucking around with a new virus thingy I think. I will check with him exactly what he did (I actually think he did it on his laptop not on this machine) and deal accordingly (with him) if he is the culprit. However, when something is blocked I usually see the pop-up thingy which is really only for adverts. If it intercepts E-mails it just means they go into bulk not "in box" with a warning and I have to say we are getting some pretty bizarre ones in there at the moment mostly "viagara" related would you believe, definitely not rootschat which I would recognise from the title. I have to say I don't open unrecognised E-mails as I am told they will continue to arrive if you do this because you have confirmed "someone is there".
I think I am have to just log on each time from now on. I am still getting notifications from Genes reunited and others by the way.
Sue

Hi Carole, My husband gratefully accepts your good wishes. He is in the clear - he didn't touch this machine!
The setup on mine for notifications is the same as yours and, indeed, was checked by Berlin Bob yesterday. I did re-confirm my E-mail address also.
These little things are sent to try us!!!! 
Thanks for your input.
Sue
Thanks for your input also Bob - sadly still not working.
