Blank Emails?

[Rik]

Indeed. Unless you have turned off any of the notification options, this reply should trigger an email to you. In particular, you would need the third box down checked.

Got the same, blank email 

[Rik]

Possibly because I posted before you edited your profile, Jill? See what happens this time.

[J!ll]

Had one at 11.49 but wasn't at pc so? lol

Another 11.56

Am I missing something?..  surely the cure is to turn them all off.. not necessary.

[Rik]

As far as I can see, Jill, this reply by me should trigger an email which contains both the thread topic as a subject, and the reply as the body of the email.

I've just received the following email triggered by your post:

Subject: Topic reply: Blank Emails?

No, they're not necessary, Inactive, but if people are receiving blank messages, I'd like to find out whether it's down to profile settings, or whether there is an issue with the forum software that needs to be looked at. I have notifications on, myself, but that's just to ensure I don't doze off.

[Inactive]

Never use them myself, never found the need...

Get an alarm clock.. 

[Rik]

 

I have one, it's called "You have mail".

[Inactive]

Well have another one on me .. 

[Rik]

There's just no peace around here... 

[J!ll]

Ok, hopefully all should stop now! 

[Rik]

Opting out completely is cheating, Jill. I've tried turning off the fourth checkbox, but I still get the subject correctly. I'm puzzled. 

[J!ll]

Well I didn't want any more blank emails 

[Inactive]

Ok, hopefully all should stop now! 

Sensible option Jill.. 

[Rik]

I've asked Adam to take a look, Jill. I haven't found a way to receive total blanks myself, so I am wondering whether it's possibly related to the email client...


Edit: My thoughts on logging out were wrong, changes should 'take' immediately, provided the 'save settings' button is clicked.

[Stevescat]

Not sure if this is relevant Rik, but I received these blank emails in my Yahoo account, not IDNet.

[Rik]

It may be relevant, Steve. I've asked Adam to have a look at the thread.
