I received a PM notification.  I'll wait and see if I receive daily thread updates though.  


X2, still no daily combined updates

I am receiving some notifications, but the link in the notification takes you to the first post in the tread, not the first new post of the notification. 


The few notifications I get, have this same problem. Rather annoying.

I only get update emails 4-5 times out of 40 updated threads, and it's not always the same thread that gives me updates.  
 
At first, on the 6th I was getting a copy of every post in all my subscribed threads, so if a thread was updated 10 times I got 10 email notifications instead of just the one for the first new post.  So, I had changed it to daily digest the next day but never got any.  With that I changed it back to immediate individual updates but they pretty much have died off and only sporadically arrive in my mail box.  I don't have junk mail folder turned on my my MobileMe email, so it's not being stopped by a spam filter.
 
PM notifications are coming in fine, however.

I'm still not receiving instant updates, even not from a new thread I created.

Things went from one extreme to another.

Initially I wasn't receiving any notifications of updated threads, or at least not for ones that I was subscribed to before the forums upgrade.  I was just getting PM notifications.  Now I am getting a copy of EVERY post made in ANY thread that I am subscribed to, which is hundreds of notifications a day because i have over 3000 subscriptions! 
 
In the old days, if a thread was updated I'd get one email letting me know, and the forum would not send more notices after that until I logged in to read the forums.  But this forum keeps sending emails over and over and over as the new posts are added to that updated thread, which is only a benefit if I want to read ALL of my subscriptions offline and not log in to see all the new posts.
 
If I change my settings to "daily digest" in my profile, it only changes that for new subscriptions.  So, I went to edit my old subscriptions individually, but it makes me change them all ONE by ONE, and hit the okay button between changing each one!  This is nuts.  On top of that, even if I had the time to change 3000 subscriptions one-by-one, the forum has a 1000 thread limit for editing them.  I may have to set up a rule in my Mac mailbox to delete all subscription notifications until this is fixed, but unless I delete them on the server they still clog up my iPhone and iPad mailbox.
 
I love the fact that I can log in to read only a few of the updated threads when I have a little time, then come back later to finish reading more threads, and the forum remembers exactly where I left off without re-setting them all as having been read;but this new problem replaced my old one in terms of being a PITA.  Sorry to complain Jude, but I sure hope this gets fixed, although I greatly appreciate the other fixes immensely.

I receive e-mails now, but text like this post:
 
 
--------------------------------------------

Currently  using  19mk3 (usb, my hiface is still on the way )  +  compass amp ( C2C is temporally  out of order ) along with the  ultimate silver dream SE + AKG K601,  VERY impressed,  the soundstage just  sounds very REAL, even in  games like l4d2  i hear  the  zombies / survivors   talking  like  they're next to my ear, i don't feel like  using  in-game 5.1 settings and cmss3d headphone anymore, just plain old   stereo. 

 

Granted  my  previous  pair of  interfconnects ( sharkwire pink RCA )  were  average at best but i did not expect  to hear  such  a  difference, small details  come out  so effortlessly  and  everything  sounds  so damn smooth / focused, I can't  wait to get  my C2C  repaired ( it was 100% my fault mind you, not  a hardware  malfunction ) to  see  what  else I am missing.

------------------------------------------

 

look like this in the mail:

Seems to be working okay for me now - 1 update per updated thread. However, I'm also getting notifications for my own posts, which I don't need for obvious reasons, as well as unparsed code in the body of the text (which makes the notifications pretty much unreadable if they're more than a few lines long).
