Subscription notifications?

[zombie67]

I joined several groups. I rarely remember to check them for new posts. So I subscribed to them, expecting to get email notifications. But no luck. Is it broken? Am I doing something wrong?

Plus one. :-bd

Not sure... did you check your settings, you may have to enable email or popups for subscriptions notifications.

Everything is enabled. Nothing is turned off. Try it yourself.

Ok, I have subscribed to two groups, area 51 and team MM one set to notify me by email and one by forum pop up... I will also check in the admin config sections and see if there is some kind of behind the scenes configuration that is missing.

FWIW, earlier today I subscribed to a group that I was not previously (email notification), and for the first time got an email. Did something change? Maybe I need to unsubscribe to my other already-subscribed-to groups?

I did not change anything admin side. I just got an email notification for an area 51 group update myself....

And the new Group posts link worked today for the first time in a long time...

Okay, I will go back to my other subscribed groups, unsubscribe, and re-subscribe. Maybe that will fix it.

On a similar note, the big "What's New" button shows only new forum posts. It *should* show all of the sub-categiries (New Posts, New Group Messages, New Events, New Articles, New Blog Entries). And then, if wanted, the user clicks on one of the sub-categories to refine the search.
