Have there been any I've never got one

I just looked, and I am subscribed, however, we also know I use Hotmail as a primary email. Man, I always manage to pick the wrong thing to use, can't open filters from IE, Hotmail eats some emails, sheesh, I need a new c-list celebrity tarot card reader or something.

Yeah, if you have screening set to exclusive with Hotmail, you have to keep checking junk mail and allow it as a contact to show up in your allowable mail. I've used Hotmail forever it seems.....because you never have to reset anything up if you change computers or move. I actually have ten possible email accounts that I pay for with my access provider.....but I don't ever use them. The only drawback with Hotmail is that I can't use it with Outlook.....which is deliberately done to get you to pay for it......

---According to FF it is, I do not know, although I have not missed many if any other emails, or at least not been made aware that I have, and I'm fairly aware believe it or not ha-ha.

----The only FF emails I have not gotten so far, are the newsletters, and the auto-generated one from the Claim Rewards page. I think it is a problem with the main FF email sending setup, because I always get emails from Bella and whoeever at FF, as well as FF users through the internal FF email/message system. Bella thinks it is Hotmail, and the truth is somewhere inbetween, or at least not fully determined at this point.

----No, but I never sign up for them, so I only get one if someone starts a new thread about one of my filters.

Aha! That's just it. Toldja, jffe, it's hotmail.

Carl wrote: could this be related to my problem of not getting many notifications of forum posts

Yes, it's most certainly related. The emails that we know disappear so far are those that have automatic-looking headers -- newsletters and various notifications.

No, but you can read the same info in the Our News section: http://www.filterforge.com/more/news/

I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. From our long communication with jffe, and from some email exchange with you too, it looks like emails from the support account get through all right, and those from my personal account too, and jffe says he's getting mail from other FF users. So, personal email seems no problem.

It's only automatic emails that cause trouble. So far I checked some databases to see if our server IP is on the hotmail blacklist. It isn't there. I'll get someone of the developers to dig into it further. Perhaps it's not hotmail after all but something in our mail server settings.

I've had a consultation with the developers. They say it's hotmail and only hotmail. It's not on our side. And they say they can hardly do anything. "Get gmail" is the only recommendation they give

I'm not going to worry about it too much, if I have to, I can always contact FF through the support email system, and it won't be that often (hopefully) anyways, I'm sticking with hotmail since it's where I get all my vaguely relevant news of the outside world from.

jffe

Ok just an update - it's working perfectly with gmail so obviously hotmail is the culprit

lol. now that's funny, carl. forwarding email from FF through gmail to hotmail where you pick it up. sounds like a hacker network thing

Since there are now "Basic" versions of FF available, can they be added to the reward system as well?

It would be a nice way to spend extra reward points to give friends a gift who would really have no use for the pro version.

Hey FF team, I'd like to leave another suggestion:

In "Your Reward Points" page, it would also show a list of the points we have used. I mean, where we have spent them. For example:

You have used your points for:
5 - Free life time
3 - A Free Copy
n - ....

And so on.


Cheers,
Lucato.
