No emails for "I'm watching"

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?

RowanMumsnet · 04/04/2014 09:39

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

RowanMumsnet · 04/04/2014 09:47

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

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.

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

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.

RowanMumsnet · 25/04/2014 13:09

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

RowanMumsnet · 01/05/2014 09:58

Oh lawks. Anyone else having trouble again?

Hello 50ShadesofGreyMatter,

Hmmm this is most troubling. We've looked at the thing sternly and it's definitely still sending out emails to those who have it turned on. I've received several myself today. We'll happily take another look though!

The logic behind it is a little complicated, you'll only be notified if a new message is posted since you've looked at the thread last and you'll only be notified once even if another message is then posted.

To help us diagnose this oddity could you let us know which thread or threads you're sure you ought to have received a notification for but haven't?

Many thanks

Hi 50ShadesofGreyMatter,

Yes it works exactly as you imagined.

To get to the bottom of your problem it would be really helpful to have an example of a thread or threads you're sure you ought to have received a notification for but haven't. If you'd rather not post publicly would you please email in and let us know?

Thanks very much
