Topic: I've Stopped Receiving Email Notifications...?

A couple of weeks ago, I abruptly stopped receiving email notifications when somebody @ mentions me... I had not changed any settings. Has this affected all (or at least some) users, or is it just me? I attempted "resetting" my settings - as in, unchecking and saving and then rechecking the options - and it did nothing. So what might the issue be? Thanks!

hmmmm... don't know. I @ mentioned you in the Vans thread.... I wonder what's up.

@Gioku have you checked your spam folder? If it's still not working can you email me via the /contact form? Thanks!

@antdickens: Oh wow, yeah, they're going to the spam folder! Thanks for pointing that out; sometimes I forget about it. Is there a way to make them go to my inbox?

Let's spam @Gioku now!

@Morpheel: Let's not, actually.

@Gioku: Depending on your mail client or provider, you may have an option while viewing an e-mail marked 'spam' to click a button to have the client or site recognize e-mails of that type as 'not spam' and allow them to go directly to your inbox. If you're using Gmail, the option to declare an e-mail as 'not spam' is a button right next to the 'back' and 'delete forever' buttons, and it may take a couple tries for it to finally get the hint.

if that doesn't work, you may have to set a filter, and again it'll depend on what you use for e-mail. again, with Gmail, click the 'settings' gear, choose Settings, then Filters, then at the bottom will be 'create a new filter'. type '@nintendolife.com' in the 'from' box, click the link to 'create a filter with this search', and then choose 'never send it to Spam'. You may also want to click the option to 'also apply filter to matching conversations'. Enjoy! :3

@theblackdragon: OK, thanks! I'm using Gmail; I only had to click the button once, and I'm now getting the notifications again. So it's all sorted out now!
