Reply and Reply Notification not working? No longer being notified of Replies. OP not notified of further responses.
Hi,
. I have just seen coincidentally replies from the OPs to me in at least 2 Threads that I answered yesterday.
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...ike-a-b-c.html
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...r-sheet-2.html
. I was definitely not notified of these responses. I was permanently on line throughout the time of the responses.
. 1 ) I checked and I am still subscribed. So that is not the problem
. 2) I had also revisited the Forum and the Thread many times in the meantime. So the “You will not receive further notifications until you re visit the Board” is also not the problem.
Forthermore:
. . I have often been surprised in the past that some of my quite thorough answers are not acknowledged. In particular I have a strong suspicion now that the last few responses to a thread are for some reason not notified further to the participants.
.. I often notice that an additional alternative solution that comes just after the OP has responded to an earlier response ( that may have not quite satisfied his requirements as well as the latest one just received ) are often never acknowledged.
. I am continually surprised when I lurk through Posts of many Regulars who give many very good responses to see their efforts often not aknowledged, in particular for a last Solution..
.
. My suspicions were that the Notification system was not always working properly. I now have concrete proofs that that is the case. ( At least Today by me )
. I have sometimes PM’ ed an OP to inform him or her of a response. I have up until now always had some response from them to the PM and then the Thread response. . Occasionally they have commented that they were not informed or missed of my response. It is impractical for others who are extremely active in the Board. to PM Ops to remend them to check the Thread
. I expect it would be of great interest to many people, possibly sometimes put off by the lack of response to their efforts, to have this investigated.
Alan.
EDIT: I have a new reply to me here:
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...ml#post4167648
. As the OP also PM’d me I saw the response. I have received No Email notification up until now of that response!!!! I was here, online the whole time writing this and responding to Threads as the OP replied.
