Puzzlebrains

I seem to have stopped getting e-mail notifications when I have a PM. Has anyone else noticed this? Or is it likely to be something to do with my e-mail server (yahoo)?

No, I noticed it too. It doesn't really bother me though. I'm on here checking the message boards at least as often as I check my emails.

I've just started getting them! - which is new for me

I had to switch that off. It was driving me to distraction.

Yeah, well you're so popular you probably got hundreds. For me it is often the highlight of my day.

Now that's not what I meant. And I'm sure you get lots of people pming you too. Well, for a start you have ME pestering you!!

I switched it off as well because I usually went on puzzlebrains a lot more regularly than I checked my email.

I obviously managed to switch it off somehow, but I don't know how!!!

I turned mine off ages ago, not that I get any PM's anyway.

Laura: I think it's somewhere in the user control panel, to turn them on/off.

But I haven't switched mine off as I do like to get the notifications. I admit I always delete them straight away but it is a quick and easy way for me to know I have received a message on here.

Yeah, I had a look earlier today when the thread first appeared, to see if I'd managed to change a setting by mistake, but I couldn't find where it would be. Never mind.

I'm getting PM notification emails (they always seem to be despatched at intervals so I might have seen and read the PM 10 minutes before the email notification turns up).

But what I don't get is how I can have minus 1 unread message!

That's got something to do with deleting messages I think. On another board I have been on, it used to pretend there were 65,536 unread messages, which is somewhat more alarming!

I expect the system is automatically deleting messages I send you Sparkout. 'Cos I'm over my limit, and they're all drivel anyway.

Well I've not received any PMs from you. (Well, not since Tuesday, anyway.)

You have now.

Aye, and it's reset my count of unread messages to 1 (and then 0 when I read it).

why is the forum clock 1 hour ahead of my computer?

I should think because you need to turn off "Daylight Savings Time" settings by going to you "User Control Panel" (click the link near the top of the page) and use the "Board preferences" link in the Options list on the left. Then for the "Summer Time/DST is in effect" option choose the "no" button and click "Submit".

thanks sparkout
