Checking Forum Email Alert

I think it's the site, because I don't get anything either. I don't think my ISP has anything to do with it.

It's the site, you're correct. I'm going to jump back into it tomorrow, and I'll have more information for you then.

It's something in the database that the web code doesn't like. Some alerts broke when I updated the forum software on Thanksgiving.

I'm currently swapping tables back and forth to determine which is the offender. I'm doing this on my local machine, not the server. I've replicated the environment locally. There are something like 50 tables in this phpBB instance.

phpBB.com is no help. This is a fringe/outlier type of bug, from what I've read. Nobody else has it. MVS has it because the data in the database has been accumulating since 2002, and it's hiding somewhere in the half-gigabyte db.

This is fixed. You should now get topic, private message (PM), and forum post notifications once again.

Please note, it's going back to late November and sending all the notices you didn't get. Sorry about that.

Just got a load of emails! Glad to see it's fixed, thanks, Matt!

Emails are still coming in for me. Essentially, everything that should have been sent since November 27, is getting sent.

Again, sorry for this. All emails will clear through in a few hours.

Holy shizzle! I have over 100 notifications now, and the number grows every time I check my email

Matt - I received like 25 messages all at once! As if the replies were backed up somehow!

What did you find fix etc??!!
