Thank you SMF, although, so far we are not getting notifications for posts/replies from yesterday and today..

I don't know if that fixed it or not.. 

I will reset my notifications, if that even does anything..

Thanks again for taking a look, and will let ya know if notifications start to work again..

Well, a couple of members are getting notifications, but most, including myself are still not... I am not even getting notified when a new member tries to join..

Nothing...

I know your probably burnt out on this issue, but gosh... Notifications are kind of a big deal for myself, and members are hoping for the same again..

Very tricky issue think I have it solved
Yahoo has changed their email policy for forums that a user in forums settings has the forum's email set to a yahoo email address. Notifications will fail .
See http://postmaster.yahoo.com/errors/postmaster-28.html




Now what I can do and will do is rewrite so all outgoing emails will say noreply@smfforfree.com instead of using your email address which will fix that issue.

So by doing that, it will help all members, not just myself as the forum Mod ?

Weird is that the notifications to my Yahoo acct use to be titles Chinese Snuff Bottle Discussion, then a few months ago, it changed to a single word, "Me".

I just received the first notification in a long time this morning... Now it is back to being titled, Chinese Snuff Bottle Discussion again..

Actually, notifications are at this very moment starting to flow in for me...

I think things may be back to normal... At least for me :)  Maybe hold off on doing any changes for a bit ?

That was tough but some good came out of it. Figured out a couple things to changed as well.
Just crazy how yahoo changed that breaks a lot of things I was reading about it.

I was a bit confused after reading the info in that link because I have been and was still getting notifications to my Yahoo email via several other forums.. 

So was not so sure that was a problem ..

Any hoo....

Thanks again !
