Hi Hanan

For now, if you click on "Show new replies to your posts" at the top right of any Rootschat page you won't miss any replies.  I know a number of members who tend to use this as their preferred method of not missing anything - just log in periodically to check.

I've looked at my blocked senders list and Rootchat isn't listed

Your service provider could be filtering them out as spam before they get as far as you though - that is what was happening with me and a number of others who use BT some time ago :-\

thanks casalguidi,

I've been using the "Show new replies to your posts", don't know what I'd do without it... The email option was much easier though.

Great  >:( it's BT I use  :'(

Hi
I nearly had a fit last year when i went on my own lookup topic to put something on it.I found loads of posts going back a few months that i hadn't had a notification for.Lucky for me it was a one off,because it took me ages to catch up.With it being outdoor work,then trystan fixed it for me ;D

Hanan
when you say the email option what are you referring to?it always confuses me ::)because rootschat doesn't have an email option.Emails are a persons own personnel address,that you can send to another member via a P.M only.Then you can email each other  on you computer,and it doesn't go through rootschat

I am refering to the email that is sent to my own email address "A reply has been posted to a topic you are watching by...

View the reply at: "

I'll check http://bt.my.yahoo.com/ and let you know if I've any luck.

Hanan

I'm with Orange,and they often have the terrible habit of lumping nearly all my Rootschat notifications together and sending them to me overnight.
Sometimes I get 6 or so timed at the same minute!

Yet another reason for me to stay here all day checking my postings  ;) as if I needed one  ;)

Hi Carol,

Seems like from what everyone is saying I'm gonna have to learn to live without my Rootschat Notifications Messages.   

Yet another reason for me to stay here all day checking my postings ;) as if I needed one ;)

I think most Rootchatters are the same.  ;D

Hi Hanan,

Are you a member of other sites and are their notification messages coming through OK?
