I again did not receive an email alert when your responded to my post.

I get email alerts at this address from other forums I belong to, so I doubt my ISP is flagging any messages that may be sent from this forum as SPAM. I had no problems getting email alerts prior to the new and improved forum UI.

Thanks for trying to check this out.

Thank you for your response.

I again did not receive an email alert when you responded to my post.

I have changed my email address to one with a different ISP. Would you please be kind enough to post a reply to this message so I can test the notify feature. Thanks.

Is the problem solved?

Upon further investigation of this problem, I have concluded the problem is caused by my ISP, AT&T Worldnet (i.e., domain: att.net) intercepting and not delivering emails sent from the Forum. When I changed my email address to any other with a different domain name, I received the email alert. Since AT&T was not delivering the email, I had no idea I was missing delivery until this matter came to my attention. This is the first time in 5+ years of being with AT&T that I had any problems of legitimate emails not being delivered.

I would suggest using an email address not tied to an ISP (e.g., a google gmail address).

The interesting thing about this matter is that if I set up my gmail account to automatically forward my emails to my att.net email address, I receive the forwarded emails from the Forum without any problem.

Thank you Bhikkhu and Erwin for your help.
