What else could I do to restart that function?

Thanks!

You won't receive mail notifications if you are online alot. I will have to check our system to make sure mail is moving forward in this regard. You may want to check your spam box to ensure it didn't get flagged as spam.

You can verify that threads are set for email notification by going to the UserCP --> List subscriptions and verifying that it has the word "Instant" beside the check box. If it doesn't and you want it to be instant, select the thread(s) in question, go to the bottom where the drop down menu option is and select "Instant email notification". Then select Go.

Sometimes when I am online here, I will be browsing threads and reading and while I am reading, the system logs me out. I don't know if this is a site related issue or maybe it's an issue concerning my notebook or an issue that is constrained to the internet connection or what.

I sometimes will become annoyed when this happens. Especially if I am making a post or what-have-you.

What do you think the issue is that I am having?
If it's my notebook or the internet, then I might be able to do something about it on my end. But I don't know if the issue is technically something on my end or if it's site related.

Any advice you have for me will be met with appreciation!
Thank you,
