BEWARE! With ISP's providing better spam protection on your personal computers it will be necessary to enter the web sites "From" address onto your computers address book with these forum addresses (noreply@proboards.com) and (noreply@prbrds.com) so your Internet Service Provider (ISP) doesn't tag the reply emails as spam. It would also be recommended that you add both of these email "From" addresses to your "Gmail, Outlook or other web based email provider especially if you have the emails forwarded".
What happens is this forum sends out the reply email and your ISP will block it, "As Spam" because the host server is sending out thousands of emails from the web sites the server hosts. You may not get any messages about the email from this forum being blocked and in most cases you won't get any email about any messages being blocked. Email addresses that are in your computers address book will not get blocked. and will go through even though your ISP marks them as spam. Cox, Comcast and various other ISP's tag a lot of emails especially forum emails as spam and this forum is hosted by an entity that has it's post reply emails tagged as spam even though the emails are not spam and contain no harmful viruses or Trojans. This kind of spam blocking will become even greater over the next several years and I like not getting all the ads and B.S. in my inbox but myself and millions of others don't get a lot of forum and web site reply emails because of this spam blocking. I entered this servers "noreply" emails into my address book and now it allows the two "From" email addresses to get through and the reply emails go fast into my inbox now.
If you use an email address like gmail, live.com, mail.com or any other email host the reply emails from this forum most likely will not be blocked but emails won't get forwarded to the inbox your ISP provides for you on your computer. In most cases with the email hosts you will get a "Delivery Status" message telling you the message could not be forwarded to your personal ISP if you have forwarding turned on or the email will be put in your junk folder. If you are not getting the reply emails from this forum in your hosted email inbox then your hosted email account is blocking them also and you will have to go through the settings to allow the emails from noreply@proboards.com to be allowed. Most email sites like Google, Yahoo, Outlook and Mail.com will not block emails from this forum, "They Just Can't Forward Them Because Your ISP Has Tagged Them As Spam".
Bookmarks and threads participated in are two different functions. If you reply to a post without bookmarking the thread you will only get 1 email every 24 hrs. with a list of all the threads you posted in that are not bookmarked. If you bookmark a thread and someone replies in the thread after you post you will get your reply email "Fast" if you have "noreply@proboards.com" entered into your computers address book.
When you create a thread you must bookmark it in the "Actions" dropdown box at the top of the thread or the options cog wheel icon when you are creating the thread or you will not receive replies when someone posts in it. If you post in someone else's thread you must bookmark that thread in the "Action" dropdown box next to the search box if you want to be emailed when someone else posts after you on the spot. If you post in a thread and do not bookmark it any replies in that thread will go to the "Participated In" function and you will get any replies in a bundled email every 24 hrs.
