sue B 48 1,226 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Can anyone tell me why when I get a pm from a certain person it notifies me on my e mail. It doesn't happen when any one else sends one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 When you say "my email" do you mean external email such as Yahoo or Gmail ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,416 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Did you use your E-mail programme to reply to them? Some automatically save the address of people you mail and alerts you if that person contacts you again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue B 48 1,226 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 No Brew I only ever go on my pm though Nottsalgia, I'm wondering if it is something the sender has done but then I don't think they have my e mail add. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Sue, I can't guarantee this will answer your query but try it anyway..... 1. Click on the Bell Notification symbol at top right. 2. At the top right of that, click on Notification Settings. 3. Then scroll down and you'll see green ticks or greyed-out crosses on various settings. 4. See if you can change any of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I received a PM on NS from one of our members, which was Ok as normal, but then I came out of NS and went on to check my EMails as I do daily. The PM was there in my EMails? Never happened before?

Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Carni....send me a PM as a test, and let's see if I get a notification in my emails (because I don't normally get them for that reason). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue B 48 1,226 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Sorry CT missed your post, so yes my external e mail Stuart no I don't follow anyone Carni I think your pm was from the same person as my pm 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Sue, I've run a test with a PM from Carni, and I didn't get a notification about the message she sent me. I think the answer to your original query is that the message you referred to (where you got a notification) was part of a Group PM which was sent to several people. If it had been sent only to you, you wouldn't have had any notification. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Yep Sue, Our EMails were from the same person, and as CliffTons investigation discovered it was only on the several people PM that it happened? Good on yer CliffTon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 But why should that happen with group emails and not with the one to ones, I wonder... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 More investigating needed Margie. I haven't got the foggiest where to begin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,143 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I ain't even got a clue what ya'all on about. As for StuartCs list, it's all Greek to me I'm afraid. Who follows who and who does what, totally beyond me. My lot is to post, send a PM or stick a picture on and that's it. But I manage. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's something buried deep in the operating system of the forum. A bit like asking how a television works. You don't need to know....just watch it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
