Forum topic reply notification emails not being received

Am I the only one having this problem? Other forums' topic reply notification emails are coming through just fine but for some reason they're not coming through for this one's, even on threads that I am positive I am subscribed to and which have received posts since the last time I checked.

I got a forum email while I was away on vacation, so it was working for me as of a week or so ago.

I get emails when I get PMs and I just got one today. I don't know about the thread notification, because I have it turned off.

Me too, fluffy. Seems to be in the last couple of days they've dried up.

So basically you just constantly reload the main forum page and check every single thread manually? That explains a lot.
I Just sent myself a PM and didn't get an email for it. I'd be tempted to blame a Dreamhost->GMail interaction except I get reply notifications from my own forum (also hosted on Dreamhost) just fine.

Damned mind control... must... resist... obeying...
Guess that's why s/he's the PUPPETMASTER.
Edit: This makes no sense now that s/he's deleted the "TRY NOW" post. G'figure.

Yes, I thought that's how it's done? If I just looked at threads that I'm involved in, how would I know about new ones that pop up with new interesting topics. I like to stay abreast of the latest useless stuff.
I just sent 2 PMs with no email notice, so "this thing" is taking over. I figure it's just a matter of time before complete and total chaos erupts in the streets. I'm going down to guitar center to prepare for some lootin'.

S/he was clearly trying to save what passes for face after discovering that mail still couldn't be sent by whatever hand-equivalent s/he may or may not have.

And apparently it's fixed now. Thanks, uh, puppetmaster for, uh, doing stuff.
