    I've yet to get any emails notifying me of replies to posts/private messages and I made sure all the correct boxes were checked off.

    Is this something that will be fixed or should we just concede that the "alerts" feature will suffice going forward?

    By the way - I really like the new format & the mobile functionality and I feel like it's sufficient if Tapatalk ends up a no go.

    Thanks for all the upgraded work!

    Same here. I just went into "settings", "preferences", "options" and clicked a few boxes for email notifications, lets see if that works.

    Ya, for messages and followed threads, you have to enable the system.. click your username in the bar on the home page, and then click preferences, and highlight the first two boxes in options, and save changes.

    The software is not as well developed in regard to what we know as "private messages" (now called conversations).. I have yet to see either a option for an on screen pop up notifications, or an email notification for new conversations.. we may have to locate and download an add on for that.

    What this software does have that is nice, and less intrusive, is an alert system, that triggers a message in your alert folder when someone likes or replies to a thread you started or participated in. You will see the "alerts" button on the top bar, next to your username and "inbox" tabs.

    Jim,
    Do you not get a page like this, when you click the "alerts" tab on your homepage?
