Ok, this is getting out of control....

Ever since the "new forum" went live I do not get new notifications of posts to threads I have subscribed to, and when I do, then are from months ago.

It was getting pretty bad I changed my settings to NO subscriptions and deleted all my active ones.

This morning I checked my email and I had 20+ email notifications all from subscriptions I had deleted AND of posts that were 2+ months old.

At this point I'm not sure what to do to stop the emails from coming in for old posts.

So I'm reaching out to the powers that be for advice!
 
I haven't received any emails from the forum for my subscriptions at all anymore.

What I typically do with problem emails that I don't want and can't control from the sender is setup a filter within my email client/service to push everything to a designated folder other than my inbox.

Since I haven't heard of a fix for the massive delay they've had with sending subscription updates, the filter seems to be the best way to go.

I may have to do this for now... it's really becoming annoying.
 
I had the exact same issue. I would get a minimum of 20 emails a say saying there are new posts. When the thread was opened there was nothing. Pretty old posts infact. Mods have known of this issue for months.

So now, I have applied a filter thanks to BM1024. Credit where its due.

I block all emails containing key words from a AGO forum email, or a sentence from the email. Since then, no clutter! :)

Until we get word from the mods that the issue is "finally" resolved, I will keep using said filter. Once fixed, I will just remove the filter.
 
I hate the new forum format. I turned off all notifications and just deleted the app yesterday. It really sucks because I used to like to come on here and just sort of hang out, read, and discuss fun topics. Now it just sucks so much that I rarely comment on anything anymore.

Exactly- my time on here has dropped drastically because of this. I hope it gets resolved at some point.
 
I'm not saying it's aliens, BUT.............







ITS ALIENS! Lol!

I keep getting new message notifications and when I check my box there aren't any new messages.
 
They should understand that this will eventually cause a drop in business. If people aren't spending as much time on the forum, they are reading less and will probably buy less, at least less impulse buying.

I used to like that they not only had a 'new posts' tab but also a 'latest posts' tab, I think it was, and you could go back many pages. Now there is only new posts and sometimes there isn't even one page of new posts to check out. disappointing...
 
Hope things get properly sorted
on this forum pretty soon for all
of you guys; something must've
got real screwy.

BTW:
I'm not having those forum problems"...
So...Yep...Something is bound to be
really screwed up!!

Agreed. Had one hell of a busy weekend, wasn't able to even sit down let alone get online. Open my email last night to 18 thread notification emails from AGO. Newest was from August 22nd.

Like this forum a lot, but this is fu*kin' annoying.

You can still do that. Click on Home on the top left and under your Avatar or profile pic, there is new posts. You can actually click the two worrds and it will take you to 2 pages worth of new/latest posts instead of the one on the Home page! I do this daily due to the 10 hour time difference between here and the US :)
 
Sadly, my temp fix is I set up a filter for all AG emails to go right to trash.... I'm not going to have my email folder filled with notifications for months ago. Very annoying.
 
Same here. After receiving "new" notifications for old PM's I deceided it was time to set up a "Auto Geek Online Auto Detailing Forum" email filter to automatically delete all AGO emails that land in my inbox. I don't understand how the email system is still screwed up - it's been months!!!
 
I've posted this several times in the forum upgrade thread but i really haven't seen them even remark on it.
 
Same thing is happening to me. What I don't understand is that I'm NOT subscribing to any threads. Does it subscribe automaticaly when you read or comment in a thread? Now I gotta unsubscibe to this one.

Yes, exactly as soon as you comment on a thread you automatically become subscribed to it.
 
You can set your notifications to "do not auto subscribe".
