Notifications of new replies don't work

I no longer receive notifications of replies to threads I follow and contribute to.

I let Edwin know... I believe he fixed this with the last host move but it may need more looking into...

My subscribed threads are still working normally. Have you checked what forums and threads you are subscribed to?

Log in then click User CP in the upper left portion of the page.
In the left side menu, click List Subscriptions. In this list there is a Notification column - for me, these threads are all listed as "Instant" notification.
Then click Edit Options in the left side menu. In the Default Thread Subscription Mode section you can see your notification choice - mine is Instant email notification.
Finally click Edit Email & Password in the left side menu. Check that your email is correct -- if unsure, try sending an email to that address and be sure you get it. Also be sure you don't have any rules or spam filtering which might be hiding EMD messages from you.

Thank you, Bill, for your hint. Somehow (after FF upgrade??) all 'notification' boxes got unticked.

I think that the check boxes on the right are to select which threads where you wish to "Update Subscription Type".
See the drop box at the bottom of the check boxes.
