Re: Not Receiving Email Alerts
just need to think of the categories
1. no problem at all with alerts
2. the occasional glitch but still working most of the time
3. delayed alerts
4. no alerts whatsoever
any others?

Re: Not Receiving Email Alerts
not sure what a poll will achieve, it's clear there is an issue and most probably don't want to moan about it too much.
if the results are necessary, even just out of curiosity then it should probably be linked to a specific event.
when the next free film is posted, if the poll was 'when did you receive an alert', 1-2 minutes, 3-5, within an hour, longer, not at all, then it would answer the same question with more clarity?

Re: Not Receiving Email Alerts
well no-one is doing anything about the current problem so trying to think of something that might get AYBG's attention to see it's affecting more than a small number of us, unless it is a small number of us in which case I'll go back to MSE where alerts work.

Re: Not Receiving Email Alerts
It wasn't affecting me until recently, but now it is affecting all my alerts, it took 4 hours to get a pm alert, good job it wasn't important.elski wrote:well no-one is doing anything about the current problem so trying to think of something that might get AYBG's attention to see it's affecting more than a small number of us, unless it is a small number of us in which case I'll go back to MSE where alerts work.

Re: Not Receiving Email Alerts
I think that last post nails it on the head. Unless and until it affects you, then you don't realise how frustrating it is and why the lack of a solution is driving loyal members nuts.

Re: Not Receiving Email Alerts
It was a minor irritation that I managed to get round until the changes were made.
Now the whole system is worse than useless to me.
Alerts , if they come at all are hours late. When they do come I waste so much time trying to work out what it is for. I assumed everyone else had the same trouble. Is this not the case?
