I'm far from a puter wiz but is it something you clicked when you set up your account. Sine have a setting that notifies you when someone replies to your post??! :scratch: :scratch:

Been getting them too guys. My account is pushing 10 years old and never had a problem before now. Old replies. Some I get right away. Some I never get. And then some show up long after the reply. Like a month or more old.

Post by: Rebel SS on March 03/02/17, 08:23:40 PM
OK, are you guys getting E-MAILS on your E-mail acct (google, yahoo, etc) or getting PM's on here? Or Notifications OF PM's on here on your E-mail?????

I have an email notification when somebody replies to a post or a pm. Use to have it for when I was once a mod for the taxidermy section. I'm just wondering why the email comes a month or more after the actual reply sometimes? Not a huge deal, but sometimes they come right away, sometimes they don't.
Kinda like the picture rotation. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Nothing to do with how the picture is taken. At least from what I've tried.

My email for this site is minnesotaoutdoorsman@budwieser.com and I have never checked it since becoming a member here.  I'm guessing Reb has the right idea though.

hold up Reb, read that and checked all that last night.  all seems correct to me so I should not get them but I'm getting them again.  up to 187 today so far.
Title: Re: email hyjacked
Post by: Rebel SS on March 03/03/17, 08:09:17 AM
Oh sh**!  WTH??!!  Has to be a setting on here, somehow......guess HD needs to do some checking. How long has this been doing it? Did it do it before the site changes were made awhile back??

Mike; try this with your computer browser under "setting", "notifications"...this is for Chrome...that will block any and ALL notifications, be aware.


Allow or block notifications from all sites

Windows and Mac

On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top right, click More (tools on some)  and then Settings.
At the bottom, click Show advanced settings.
Under "Privacy," click Content settings.
Under "Notifications," choose one of the following:
Allow all sites to show notifications: You’ll automatically see notifications from all websites.
Ask when a site wants to show notifications: You’ll get an alert from Chrome whenever a site wants to show you notifications. This is the default setting.
Do not allow any site to show notifications: You won’t see any notifications from websites.
You can also block any sites, apps, and extensions that already have permission to send you notifications. Just click Manage exceptions.

You go to the home page, on the left side of the screen is your profile box. At the top, click on the edit profile. You should see "modify profile" click on that, and you should get a drop down menu, look for notifications, and click on that. There are 2 boxes you can check or uncheck. One is for the little black pop up boxes that you see on the forum, and the other is to get notified by E-mail. Uncheck the 2nd one, and you should be OK.

Yur my test guinea pig... let me know if you start getting notifications again.
