Forum Post Notification Backlog

Post by **heruca** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 10:20 am

I just got a couple of dozen emails notifying me of new posts on these forums dating back to Dec. 18. I have no idea why these notification emails aren't going out immediately, and days later get sent all at once.

Does anyone know if there's a phpbb setting or a cpanel setting I can tweak to fix this issue? Has this happened to anyone else?

I've never had a problem receiving email notifications from phpBB, though I only use them rarely.

Most likely it was a glitch in one of the mail servers that caused them to hang in limbo for a few days, which would be either your webhost or email provider's fault.

This happened to me again today. Apparently all the forum post notifications from the past several days got delivered to me at once, for no apparent reason. Some emails sent to "activation@battlegrounds.com" also got through. How very strange.

Yet again, I got about 2 dozen new post notifications all at once. The new posts were from Feb 24-Feb 28. Is this happening to anyone else?

I've also heard from a couple of people that they've gotten new Private Message notifications, but when they logged in, there were no new PMs.

The web gremlins are hard at work.

I've never gotten notifications to work for replies on this board. or private message notifications either I think.

I only use notifications for private messages, and I've never had a problem with those. Don't know about posts.

I did get a single private message notification on Feb 23 but had no message when I logged into the forum.

But no harm done, its not like a got a hundred and besides it reminded me I hadn't looked at the board in a bit.

I suspect that may be some new PHPBB2 exploit. Which reminds me that I need to upgrade this forum to the latest version.

It looks like the move over to Omnidon's webserver has fixed my post notification issues.

Heh. Yeah it was probably your old mail server that had the problem, though of course I also patched us to the latest version of phpBB and applied that big mod.
