    I don't use my phone for receiving email, mail from FHC goes right into it's own folder on the PC, a quick glance tells me I have new alerts
    I don't do twitter, facebook , any of that

    Was your email not allowing all the stiff to be run through it? Since everything came from your mail?

    I fire up my computer maybe a few times a month. My phone works fine for most of my needs.
    I don't even know what tweeter, pinterest or in stage am is.
    I had a friend tell me I should go online. I said, ok... What website?
    No... GO ON LINE, not go Online... Its a chat program.

    Huh.. Who the hell came up with that?!

    No idea what go on line is either?? Why? Use a forum or text or facebook like everyone else!

    I only know of the others from tv or hearing folks talk. You can even "tweet" deadliest catch and all my other shows on disc. Thats where I see a lot of it.

    Yeah I have heard OF twitter/tweet (whatever the hell it is) but I don't understand it. I figured it was some kind of texting which I don't do either.

    Its a message thing. Not sure how it really works it has something to do with the poundsymbol,# or hash tag as they now call it? They pound everything ? I am not sure if you tweet something that has #deadliest catch in it does it automatically go to their account?? I dont know. Now my wife says she has friends that put #whatever, like #ready to leave this place, when they post on facebook. I said if I was on there I would write #youranidiot. #why the hell do you out pound in front of everything #why do you use the pound symbol!!

    My wife's a regular Twitter user and got a kick out of this. She also wants me to say that Twitter is mostly about knitting, but I know better.

    I concur, but it seems that it is easier said than done.

    I agree. I think in this case something should be delegated to a capable modd or mods who can handle it?

    I know I dont have the expertise and dont pretend to but seems like the company you bought the software from can tell you what to do? That seems like customer service to me?

    Hope this gets fixed as I sure do miss it. I have actually started posting more elsewhere so that I can have more real time convos through alerts. And these alerts come through an app which is WAY more convenient than clicking an email then on to here. (Wish we would go to TT).

    I still check in here a dozen times a day or more ...just I miss the alerts!

    Since 4/22 we have not received emails.

    I have been on the Xenforo community for awhile and just went back on. It seems that there is a common problem with the STMP address not being the same as the registered email addy.

    Here is a screen shot of what it's not supposed to look like. The email should match, the default email. Once he fixed that, the problem was solved.


    Screenshot_2014-07-03-12-06-26.png

    There have been numerous threads on there troubleshooting forum about this problem.

    I agree, it will hurt us in the long run. Especially when the busy/heating season comes upon us. Some don't mind logging in and checking the Alerts, but that still does nothing for PM's or for the "Reports" for mods/admin. I have gone a full day without knowing someone was trying to contact me, or knowing about an issue with a member or post.

    So it looks like all someone has to do is get to the screen in the setting page and make the emails match the registration email that was used to start it? Or create a new email address to use to sent alert emails from and make sure they match???

    Again I am not great with computer stuff but looks like your on the right track Dex.
