Your account settings seem to be correctly configured. I also suspect that they might get caught in the spam filter - especially with big mail providers, which might receive a lot of notification mails due to the large number of members that use this provider, the spam filters might produce a false positive that blacklists our address.

We've had that issue in the past with Microsoft (Hotmail).

Yes I've found the notifications in the spam filters.

A kind of related question: Can one retract a private message sent to someone else?

I got a PM (with mail notification), when going to my PM-inbox, it wasn't there...
Daaaaaaaaaaaaah !

 I have 3 issues.

#1 - when I log in I check the "forever" box but it doesn't seem to stick.

#2 - I am subscribed to a few subforums, such as 'The Great War's and 'Colonial Adventures', yet I get no notifications of new topics.

#3 - Each time I click on my desktop link to take me to the forum I'm taken to a forum advertiser instead of the forum. From there there is no link to take me to the actual home page or forum. The link I'm usually sent to is this one: lead-adventure.com.

Can you help me?

1. Do you have your browser set to delete cookies on end-of-session?

2. Please check your subscription settings and your email spam folder, as above. The new url is occasionally listed as spam mail.

3. The correct new url is leadadventureforum.com. If you update the link, it should work out alright.

Browser doesn't delete at the end.

I check my spam everyday but have as yet to see one in there.

I'll check to see if I have the updated link saved.

Thanks for the help.

I've checked your account settings, which look fine. Provided your e-mail address is current, I can only suspect the reason lies with the spam filter.
