Thanks Erato, that's a reminder to me too, knew some didn't want email notifications for threads but I didn't apply that to PMs

Have frequently found the PM system working after only 2 postings by either party but agree with you Carol re adding to the thread, there to come across in search even if not getting email notifications

Not sure if this should be in here or in a new topic, but . . .

For the last couple of weeks my e:mail notifications do not seem to be coming through, and when I look at New Posts only a few appear, but when I go into Unread Posts then I see several which I would expect to have been notified about.

Has something changed in the last couple of weeks, do I need to re-do something, I've checked e:mail notifications in my profile and they all seem to be in order.

Thanks for any advice.

I have had same problem with not getting email notifications to threads i have recently contributed to. This has only happened for threads which have been merged or split. Even if the split has happened after my last post to the thread and that split has been made at a page before my post.

E.g new findmypast is now in three parts. I contributed early on and got email notifications of new posts OK. When It was split and part 1 locked, my latest post was then in Part 2, but I got no further emails about additional posts to part 2. The same thing happened when part 2 grew big and was split so the last couple of pages became part 3. Although my then latest post was in the new part 3 (although when I posted it was in part 2), I stopped getting emails about new posts again. And two other threads on same topic got merged into it along the way, so one email notification linked to nowhere. But for the average thread which doesn't get split, merged etc I have had no problem.

Lizzie,

If you'd like to be notified of the ones that don't seem to be notifying you (if they have been split), then click the "Notify" button at the top & bottom of the topic. Hopefully then, you'll get notified of new topics.

Thanks, I hadn't spotted that button. As the topic in question is not just hot it's incandescent, I made more posts after splitting and the notifications came through OK again.

Only just started last week and had a bit of a problem in sending what I thought was a general reply but sent a personal reply instead.  A great site and I have had great success in my research into my wife's family tree. The people who sent replys are the best

Regards

Martin

Hi there.  How and where do I find the answers to the messages, that I have asked on this board.  I can see my questions but I can`t find any answers.  One from Ambly for example. I can`t find his replies to my questions.  What am I missing here???  J
