Default Using SitcomsOnline without Email notification is like

a TV without a remote control

A moving car with flat tires

pizza without the crust

Sports Broadcast without announcers

Movie Theather without a Light switch

Pretty Girl who is not intelligent

Amusement Park with no roller coasters

Eating Ice cream without a spoon

bicycle with no seat

Air Conditioner without a control knob




WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE EMAIL NOTIFICATION!!!!!!!!!, CAN SOMEONE DO SOMETHING????

seriously jude that's a lot of work to keep checking to see if the thread you started or posted in is active. That's was one of the benefits of email notification. It's just better to go to the TV land Boards if there is no email notification on this site.

Solomon man.. I can't do anything to fix this. It is out of my control. Use the new posts or today's active threads link at the top of the screen until it starts working again. There's no sense in whining about it constantly. You have no reason to be so dependent on it. It will work when it wants to work again. I'm sure it is only a temporary thing just like the ticker not working. I don't have an explanation how it is working on one day and not the next. Sorry if you are too lazy to use the new posts link. It's not like you are posting in 100 threads a day to see which ones are active. It's a minor inconvenience... not the end of the world.

Just will take some time to get use to, remember I been around this place for years. I think it only makes it difficult while I'm at work, at home it won't be such a big deal because I can bookmark the active threads page to my browser and just click on it to see the most active threads

You can also use this link to view your subscripitons.

http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/...ewsubscription

I know it's not the same as e-mail, but at least you can see the active threads you've posted in.

I like the new posts link is much better...this way you can see everything new and not miss a thing (Solomon needs to use this, because he misses a lot of threads and then complains he didn't see it).

E-mail notification is annoying to me, especially if you get a lot of emails like I do.

I don't understand Solomon how you can't rely on clicking on NEW POSTS or TODAY'S ACTIVE POSTS. This will show what threads have had activity. If you don't see yours there, then you know no one has posted on it.

Or you can easily go to the board where you posted a thread, such as the DS board and see all the active threads. Frankly, what an annoyance to subscribe to email notification. I don't need 300 emails telling me someone posted on a thread.

If I had a nickel for everytime Solomon has missed a topic because he doesn't use the new posts link and then complained about it afterwards, I'd be a millionaire. It's nice to be notified about everything, but sometimes you need to do some of the leg work on your own.

I see the ticker is now working again, so hopefully the e-mail notifications will be next.

I don't know if Vbulletin boards work the same as others but a Forumer board that I belong to had the same problem a few months ago. Nobody there got e-mail notifications for a week or more and when it was finally restored, All topics that had been replied to from the time of the outage until the day it was fixed had notifications sent. My Hotmail alert was going off like crazy and I had over 300 messages to delete. For me, It's much more convenient to come here and click on the view new posts and today's active threads links than to sit and go through a bunch of e-mails.

You got to be kidding me. Man Solomon, you must have more time on your hands than anyone I know. Who wants to check their email box to see if the boards are active and see how many responses one gets on their threads? Either it gets responses or it doesn't. I can tell after ACTUALLY BEING ON THE BOARDS AND CLICKING NEW POSTS whether they are active or not. I just don't get it Sol. You mentioned this whole email notification before to me asking if I used it. I told you no. You asked how can I know what threads I posted on. I told you, "I use my memory." Again, if you click NEW POSTS or TODAY'S ACTIVE THREADS, eventually you will see if your thread has been posted on. If you don't see your thread there, it means no one posted on it. Simple.

TJ said you are lazy. I think it is more work to check one's emails to see how S.O. is doing.
