I have a couple of suggestions, and this being the morning here and my brain not warmed up yet, I couldn't see the blindingly obvious 'put your suggestions here' thread. May be this is it... need caffeine... anyway, could you have a blindingly obvious 'put your suggestions here' thread
Also, is there any way either of the thread starter or a moderator being able to mark a thread as either 'unresolved' or 'successfully resolved'?
When I have a problem and search the forum for an answer it takes quite a while to find the 'the answer you are looking for is here' bit.
Also, I try and go through the unanswered threads and answer what I can, most of them could easily be resolved by the thread starter searching the forum, if the 'already asked and answered' thread was easy to find it would just mean posting a link.

We don't have a single thread for suggestions, but we do have an entire forum. I've moved your thread there. As for the unresolved' or 'successfully resolved' suggestion, please do a search - the topic has been addressed in depth. Thanks.
Stan, you will only receive notifications once for each thread until the next time you visit the site whilst logged in.
If you are not receiving any e-mail at all then check your profile options to ensure that e-mail is enabled. If messages sent to you are returned to LQ a number of times then e-mail will be disabled for your account.

Getting emails, most of the time it is fine. Have to check through list of threads in 'my LQ' sometimes, threads are getting replies but I don't get a notification.
Nothing for these 2: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=526620 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=526623
It's more than likely due to something I'm doing, I have no idea what though.
When you say email will be disabled, do you mean temporarily or permanent? The server from the email provider is quite often down but the email notifications have always been enabled, I have never had to turn it back on.
Thanks,
Stan

It would be disabled until you turned it back on again so it obviously isn't the problem in this case.
If you click on the "Thread Tools drop down in one of the threads you are having problems with, does it definately say "Unsubscribe from this Thread" rather than "Subscribe from this Thread"?

Unsubscribe from this Thread on both of the ones linked above.
It seems to happen intermittently, the same thread sometimes works, sometimes not.
The only thing I could think of was me logged in and viewing a thread when there is a posting on a different subscribed thread, that's just a stab in the dark though.
I'll check what the situation was next time it happens and try to get something a bit more accurate.

You may also want to check your spam filter. I've noticed some hosts lately are getting a bit over aggressive and the end result is quite a few false positives.
