No emails for "I'm watching"

35 replies

50ShadesofGreyMatter · 03/04/2014 21:45

I have ticked the 'yes' box to get emails for new posts on my watched threads. I was getting emails but now I'm not. I've not changed any settings so why is this happening?

There's an email button?

MoaningMingeWhingesAgain · 03/04/2014 21:50

oooh yes me too.

MirandaWest · 03/04/2014 21:53

I've got that problem as well. Where have my emails gone :(

NinaSharp · 03/04/2014 21:56

Is this on the iPad or something?

MirandaWest · 03/04/2014 22:14

To set it up you have to do it on a PC or at least you did when I first set it up. But now it's not doing anything :(

Patchouli · 03/04/2014 22:19

Never heard of it?
Why would you want that?

MirandaWest · 03/04/2014 23:43

So that when you're watching a thread you get notified when someone posts on it. Saves you checking your watched list.

MoaningMingeWhingesAgain · 04/04/2014 07:17

I'm not on an iPad.
have nc back into my old one though

NymodigFruOla · 04/04/2014 07:46

It was a new function set up last November, Patchouli www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/1916029-Could-we-have-your-help-trying-new-MN-function-please

Sorry about this - we'll get someone techy to take a look.

MirandaWest · 04/04/2014 09:46

My emails have returned :)

RowanMumsnet · 04/04/2014 09:47

Oh... thanks for letting us know! Anyone else?

MoaningMingeWhingesAgain · 04/04/2014 16:43

I'm watching is broken altogether on the app as far as I can tellSad
just checked and current threads I'm watching just aren't on it at all?

RowanMumsnet · 04/04/2014 16:47

Oh dear, sorry to hear that. The current app is on its way out so we're sorry to say we won't be making any more fixes to it - but there will be a new and very much improved app and mobile site along shortly. For now, you might find it easier to use the current mobile site if TIW is really important for you.

MoaningMingeWhingesAgain · 04/04/2014 21:27

ohh I got an email for a watched threadSmile

50ShadesofGreyMatter · 20/04/2014 22:25

It's happening again, come on Mumsnet sort it out please!

OP posts:
MirandaWest · 20/04/2014 22:29

I've got the same problem - have reported it and even told tech will look into it.

50ShadesofGreyMatter · 23/04/2014 22:55

Still not getting these emails, what's going on?

OP posts:
RowanMumsnet · 24/04/2014 09:56

Oh dear, thought this was sorted - will see if we can find out what's going on, please bear with us for a bit

RowanMumsnet · 24/04/2014 11:15

Hello - right yes it had fallen over again so thanks for flagging. We've restarted it now; those of you who are signed up might get a few backdated mails, just to warn you.

MirandaWest · 24/04/2014 13:44

Mine is working again :) thank you :)

50ShadesofGreyMatter · 24/04/2014 23:34

Hi Rowan, for me it seems to work for a while then it stops working. Then it starts again.
Have you done a permanent fix?

OP posts:
50ShadesofGreyMatter · 24/04/2014 23:35

Oops I meant to say if I click the "watch this thread" again after it has stopped working it works again.

OP posts:
RowanMumsnet · 25/04/2014 13:09

We're hoping the fix is permanent - fingers crossed...

50ShadesofGreyMatter · 01/05/2014 09:29

I'm now getting emails for some threads but not others Hmm
