A while back I selected the "Notify (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Notifications)" option at the top of the MN board, with the intent that I receive email notification when new topics get posted. Unfortunately, I very rarely receive notification on the state board. PM notifications come through just fine. Not sure what the deal is--anybody else having this problem? (Not like you'd necessarily know if you're waiting for notifications...!)
Shoot a PM to Scuzzy; If anybody can figure it out or fix it, it'll be him.
Is it possible that the forum notifications are getting filtered as spam on your side?
Oops. Apparently I was just missing notifications in my inbox (100 msgs a day is typical, most of it being noise...), and apparently if I don't go to the page no additional notifications are sent. I've gotten a few alerts since then and it seems that as long as I come to the forum page, that's sufficient. Sorry for the n00b-ness.
