A lot of people have experienced this problem, including me. Read this thread: http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/site-...tification.html?highlight=e-mail+notification

There is a lot of things not working anymore on the forum. I can't speak as to why things have gone crazy but I don't get emails anymore either and haven't for a while. I can't blame my problem on windows 10 because I can use two other computers having windows 8.1 an 7 and a new Tablet and I have the same problem on those, nothing works.

Thought I might as well chime in on this one, as I started the other thread. For the past three years I have complained about notifications with limited help. I do receive notification from about the beginning of March until the end of September. Then they stop and I complain. This fall I decided not to complain, just see what happens this spring, as I see there have been a lot of problems with the website since it changed servers. Personally I don't think that getting the site back to the way it worked well when I joined is high on the list of problems. Hopefully I'm wrong and to those who feel I don't care about replying I apologize.

No one is paying for this site and no one is trying to hide anything.
If we all want to pay say $ 10 pa each then Mohammad can move the forum to the server of his choice where all the CGI scripts will run properly.
As it is the phrase "beggars can not be choosers" applies.
For all the functions we used to have to work, the server software has to be 100% compatible with the forum software.
This whole site exists on the hope that some of us will respond to the advertising that appears on the pages you look at so they can get the "commission" or if not that on the tiny margin that computer advertising agencies will pay to insert those adds we all hate.
Site hosting costs money and so does storage so the current serves does not store photos which take a lot of memory.
It just stores a reference to an image held elsewhere.
When the page is being generated on your screen the server this forum is on tells the photo hosting server to put this photo in that place on this person's computer.
If and only if there is a fixed link like the code you see in photo-bucket.
o save on bandwidth and thus costs, if the photo is stored on the same server as the forum, it only shows a link.
This is fairly standard forum hosting software.
So again you get what you pay for, and we pay nothing so nothing is what we get.
This oft comes up on free forums, people forget that the internet and server space is not free, some one is kicking the can and generally what happens is as a forum becomes very popular it exceeds the limit for free traffic so administrators like Mohammad either have to find some one to foot the bill, or take the forum to another usually larger host. The bigger the host the fewer features you get allowed for free.
I run several forums and we come across the bandwidth problem regularly.
Some times the members are happy to stump up so we go to a fee for service host and enjoy all we want to happen and if they pay enough no adds, larger photos , faster downloads and email notifications.
On other forums we split the members into those who pay and get access to everything that is available from the host and those who do not pay and they only get access to the basic package features.

So Bert, what's your point? Another mile long rant to those that disagree with you. Are you a paid shill for the ADMIN? 2500+ active members signed on to help others and all we ask in return is that the forum work with us, not against us. If no one answered questions there would be no forum. We don't receive anything from the advertisers, we work for free. Wouldn't it be in the best interest of the ADMIN to try to keep the hundred of members who answer the bulk of the inquiries happy? They don't even respond to threads like this or is that your job? Stick to repair threads where your posts, although long, are most helpful.

Well if we are serious about this I have a huge virtual server sitting on a 100mb connection. Lets talk about what is needed and how much bandwidth is needed.

Well to put things another way.
This forum can not exist unless some where some one is making money from it.
Free forum hosting is not free, it costs money to host it and run the software and internet connections, provide power, cooling , maintain the computers & upgrade the hardware ,etc ,etc.
So the hosting organization has to limit what we cost them to run to less than the money they can derive from having us here.
No one from the hosting company monitors the individual posts so complaining about things that used to work and now don't work won't make any difference. apart from relieving pressure on the posters spleen.
Thus Ric's implication that some how he was being targeted was also wrong.
If we want more features that will cost more to run on the hosts server then we ( includes me ) will have to make it financially viable for the host to do so.
Hosting companies do monitor what forums cost them and compare this to what income it generates and when it gets too far the wrong way either they toss the forum off the server or cut back the features accessible for free.
No conspiracies , no persecutions, no vendettas, just plain and simple economics
Just the same as on your PC when system server software gets upgraded some things don't work like they used to and some hosts software is not 100% compatible with the forum software so when Muhammad changed hosts. some of the features do not work. So we either have to live with it or pay for the extras if we really want them, simple.
The biggest forum that I am on is Britbike ( check it out if you like ) which is a lot bigger than this one.
It is paid for by the advertisers $ 1000 to $ 5000 annually and by the members who get access to more features, the more they pay, from $ 10 to $ 100 annually.
You can still access and join Britbike for free which most people do.
And free subscribes get almost the same services as we do here.

Bert, I'm the member who says he's being targeted, not Ric. Make sure you blast the correct member. In the past I have PM Mohammad, to no avail. If you would look at who is doing the complaining, it is the members who are providing the answers to questions posted. We are the ones who work to provide accurate solutions, if no one took the time to help out others there would be one forum. We are just asking for the things that brought us here in the first place. Without email notifications we don't know if an OP has responded unless we log on. Many don't have the time like you to constantly monitor the forum. Many times we look like we don't care about trying to help someone because we don't know they came back with a reply. You can compare this forum to other forums and give us excuses as to why things don't work, but just like fixing a piece of equipment there is a solution. You just have to find the member who has been there before. Posters on this forum don't want excuses why we can't help them get their equipment running and we don't want excuses or silence when we have a problem here.

A lot of larger forums have "archives" where the really old threads are stored. The archives don't have a lot of fancy formatting, and you can't post in them either. This saves space on the server(s) while still providing access to all the information on older threads.

Some forums use 90 day limits on posting then there erased so they don't use unnecessary space.

That would not be a good idea on this forum as a lot of people get information just from reading existing threads. Just look at how many guests there are browsing existing threads at any given time!
#19
Ric
You can set any time period you want but most figure 90 days is more than sufficient to keep postings available.I really don't see to many existing threads that are more than 90 days old anyway. I would say that if a post hasn't been responded to in 90 days it's time for it to go away.
Most members won't use the search feature on a forum anyway and chances are pretty good that someone here if asked will have an answer for the information your looking for without wasting your time going through three months of old posting and not finding what your looking for anyway.

Sorry Ric sorry Rivets.
Yes I can see that it is frustrating particularly if you access the forum via emails.
For security reasons I only ever access any forum, including the ones I run or moderate via a browser, through a couple of firewalls.
I actually find the "recent posts" function works fairly well and am looking to see if I can get that added to the software I use to run some other forums as it is not part of the Simple Machines Software package I am currently using.
It is easy to forget why this forum exists.
While it might be nice to think that it is here to help people with small equipment problems, it is actually here to get eyeballs to look at adds and eyeballs looking at adds is what pays for it's continual existence.
Some of this add revenue goes to Lawn Word, judging by the adds I see for gear we can not get down here and some of it goes to the forum host judging by the local adds I see tailored to what I have looked at on eBay, Gum-tree Craig's List etc etc etc recently.
None of the forum running software I have investigated has the email notification facility that used to happen when I first joined , because that circumvents the placing of adds and in particular live feed adds which in turn cuts off sources of funding.
Also generally I would not expect any one from Lawn World to ever look at any post here, that is what the moderators do and depending upon the powers they have been given they either take actions or refer the post higher up the chain.
SO if you would like answers then the thing to do is to log in then use the "contact Us" drop down and send an email to who ever is administering this site.
For all we know Mohammad might not even exist and it is just the name who ever is administering the site logs in as.
And no I have nothing to do with Lawn World or the web host that hosts the forum, I am just a mug user who chanced across it on a google search for information that I am denied access to down here.
Found it to be an excellent resource and because I believe strongly in fair play do what I can to pay back for benefits I have derrived from being on this list.
I also get exposure to a lot of problems I have not encountered thus also get information which may assist my business in the future.
However having set up a few sites, which included forums in my time and currently running a few I have a reasonable understanding of what is going on behind the screens ( well I think I have )

I agree Rivets has had the problem to long. Most including me thought it was just Rivets that was having the problem but I guess that he was just the tip of the Iceburg so to speak. To many members are having the same problem and a lot of other Issues as well.
I thought that when I started having the issues it was my computer because I had just installed windows 10 but when two of my other computers with windows 7 and 8 both, my iPhone and the Fire tablet all have the same issues it was a DUH moment and it's very frustrating for me personally as well as I would assume other members.

Guess what? Today I received 6 email notifications, but they were replies dated 1/4/16-1/10/16. As I posted earlier, they always start showing up again in March. Also, have you noticed we have not had an communication from the Admin concerning this problem. I guess the members who provide help on this forum are not very high on the priority list. Lucky for them our wish to help others over rides our frustration. Also noticed that the view counter is now working.

I'm back to normal on receiving emails, but still can't post any links when I reply to a post.

Your inbox is about to fill fast in the next couple days. Got over 150 starting with mid January replys.

Berts, Tell us more about the value of the site based upon the valuable information you and others post. Do commercial advertisers fully carry the operating costs? You may not know ...BTW suddenly an inrush of emails to me after a long drought, started about 2 weeks ago. I thought at the time the site had detected a roll off of traffic during the winter and wanted more. It worked on me.

I'm posting in two threads about not receiving emails again. Hopefully an administrator or moderator will reply in one of the threads. As we found out three months ago, this is a site problem, not a member problem. These emails are extremely important to me at this time of the year, as I am working 9-10 hour days and don't have time to review threads I subscribe to. It really makes me look bad when others may be waiting for me to reply, when I don't know they have responded to a request I may make.

I should not say this but I AM getting most if not all email notices. It is murphy's law that someone who has relatively little to say will get perfect service , but you pros be neglected. I have had problems on this site for a long time, but right now , no beefs. Like Bert says I would contribute $ to this site, because it is the best overall I participate in. But I'm not sure $ can fix it. I never see a policy statement by the administrators .

If it came to paying $$$ I would be gone. The techs who help members are already paying with their experience. Having them pay again would mean we are paying to help others make money. Call me cheap that way, don't think I should pay to pass on my knowledge.

I fully respect members who contribute so much to hesitate to send money. No harm, no foul. And I understand the origin of such feelings. You guys do more than your share.:thumbsup:

I also do extra. I click on the advertisement and then browse around when I get there. That way they get paid and I don't have to worry.

:laughing: Good idea!
I just checked my subscriptions folder and discovered most of my notifications were set to "daily". I changed them to "instant". Now I'll see if it works...

Hate to bring this one back up, but I haven't receive E-mail notifications for the last three months. Anyone else having this problem again. Maybe it's being caused by the infux of spamers?

Don't know.
I only browse as I already get about 500 emails a week.
However about 1 in 3 post I send do not make it to the forum so looks like there are some problems.

It's hit & miss for me, don't get anything, then something will show up.
I've given up caring about it. When I log in, I check in "My Home" first, then just click "last 24 hours" & get the latest.
