Im rather new to this site and this may be the wrong forum for this. I have added several subscriptions but I never recieve any email updates. My email address in my profile is correct and the messages are not going to spam. Is there somewhere I have to turn on notifications for subscriptions?
Thanks. |

Thanks. |

I have the same issue, but this link just took me to the Tech Support page, which didn't answer any questions? How did you receive emails? |

Quoted:
this is one of the many benefits of being a paid member of the site Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I came here wondering why I wasn't getting notifications, too. Now I understand. I would like to share that in terms of generating revenue from the forum -- putting the subscription notifications in with the paid memberships typically results in less revenue from the forum. That is, assuming the forum has advertising that is dependent on high volumes of traffic as well. For example, if the forum gets revenue from banner ad clicks or ad displays (CPM) then I wouldn't recommend the subscriptions be part of the paid membership. Subscription notifications do a lot to drive pageviews in the forum. However, if the forum doesn't get any Ad revenue, then having the subscriptions be part of the membership package (as an incentive for people to become a paid member) makes good sense. |

As a free account you have to subscribe to threads manually and set the email option to on. On your subscriptions page threads that you want to receive email updates from should show this symbol  not this one  Free accounts do have access to the subscription system, although it is limited when compared to paid accounts. Free accounts cannot subscribe on all boards(General for example), have fewer results shown on their subscriptions list, no default to Disable Automatic subscriptions, Subscribe without Email Notifications, or Subscribe with Email Notifications, no ability to Change the Subscription Option at the time of posting (Do Not Add to Subscribe List, Without Email Notification, Subscribe With Email Notification). If the subscribe button isn't present then you are in a community, i.e. General, that you do not have access to the subscription system for. Additionally threads you have created are available under MyTopics subscriptions=threads you have subscribed to, via posting or marking as subscribed. My Topics=threads you have started My Board =forums you have marked as such will show up as a custom community for you under MyBoard Active Topics=Topics most recently posted in. |

Quoted: When I click on the "new posts" folder next to a thread it takes me to page #1, not to the newest post? Is that a membership thing too? The yellow folder just indicates that there are new posts in the thread since your last visit. Clicking on it will open the thread at the start for everyone. There is a membership feature (a small green tab) that will take you to your last read post in a thread. Thread Tracking is Live Thread Tracking Help Gold Members & Higher can bookmark a thread at a specific post and return to that spot. |
| I rarely get notifications at all, never did of PMs. I didn't as a paid member, don't as an unpaid member, and my email address is correct. I Asked repeatedly for assistance, never got any, so I stopped paying for the membership. Hell, I doubt it'll even subscribe to this thread. |
