It is definitely not working for some of us. I have been here over a year, I have never gotten even one. I have checked and double checked each time this has been brought up, which by my count is 3 times now. I have checked everything that needs to be checked - yes on the post - yes in the profile.
I have in that time changed computers, I have used and upgraded 2 different browsers.
The only thing left to think is that AOL email does not allow the responses. (AND no, they are not in the SPAM folder)
May I ask the others who are not getting them --- is AOL your listed email account?
I have learned to rely on using "View New Posts", which most agree is not always
accurate.

When you go to post a message is the "Notify me when a reply is posted" box checked? I know you said it was checked on your profile page, but what about as seen below?
Yes. And am I supposed to check my profile every night to see if the server reset it? javascript:emoticon(':roll:')
And no, it's not ending up in my ISP's spam box. I've checked that on their website..And, no, I'm not on (pardon the expression) AOL. I have a regular ISP, Verizon.
No, I don't want a handwritten message hand-delivered, but that is funny. javascript:emoticon(':lol:')
As Victoria said, it works for some people and not others. If you know anything about computers, that's not strange or unusual. There's a bug in the program. I'll post it to Ilya, and I suggest anyone else with the problem should too. . End of topic

I don't know what things are like on your other 14 DBs, but around here, this: 
is generally considered a rude response when people are genuinely trying to help you figure out your problem.
In answer to your question: No, you are not supposed to check every night, but one check or even two is not unreasonable. I see in your profile that you are a computer tech. Are you going to tell me that in your job, you've never suggested that a customer double-check their settings as the first step in resolving an issue?

FWIW, it's never worked for me either, although I seem to have it checked "on" in the appropriate places. And no... no AOL mail here, I'm on Bellsouth. Nothing in my spam filter either.

I was not being a jerk. I belong to a great many forums, and it's common for posters to misread the original post. It's also common to misinterpret other people's posts and emails. But I don't know you, and vice versa, so don't take it personally.GeekgirlUnveiled wrote:It works for me. Don't be a jerk, I was trying to be helpful and I did read your original post.

I didn't know about Ilya, as I'm not here that often. I've sent it off to him, and he says he's aware of it.

Some discussion forum software allows users to build a list folder "threads I'm watching", with a hot link to each thread set to parse to the latest reply, rather than dispatch email notices. It's easier to keep track of threaded conversations that don't have much traffic and may roll off the 'hotsheet' (index page of each subforum).
It's bad software karma when the Admin double posts and doesn't notice. *wink*
