No Emails & Restrictions

I just came back to this forum after a couple years, and my subscriptions aren't working. I checked that I have the correct email on my account, but I never get an email when someone replies to my threads.

I checked my spam folder and they aren't going in there either. I keep that folder cleaned, and delete it every day so it's easy to search.

I have no idea what I need to do to get it working again.

I check the box to notify me of replies.

Also, I always get an error message saying I can only make 1 post in 5 minutes. That is really annoying to me... If I reply to a thread, I have to wait 5 minuets before I can reply to another thread. It takes up so much time that I don't even reply to people because I can't wait all day.

I can't even edit my own post until I wait 5 minuets, so if I make a mistake, I have to sit and wait, and wait, and wait, before I can edit it. BORING.

Try reading the other 5 minute rule posts.

Looks like your olde account got cleaned out maybe during the split between arduino and arduino ?

Or have you checked the other arduino site to see if your profile is still over there ?

I don't know what old account you are referring to. I only have one account. If I didn't have a profile on this website, I wouldn't be able to post here? I don't know.

This is the only Arduino website I have ever went to.

Maybe I should just make a new account.

Sorry thought you were here 2 years ago ?

ANother account will be knocked down by the mods PDQ and is also a waste of time as it too will be limited to the 5 minute rule as mentioned in lots of other posts !

I don't want to get a 5 minute rule. It makes the site too hard to use. Why don't I get any emails when people reply to my posts?

Thanks.

All you need to do is post one more message and the 5 minute restriction will not apply to you any more because you'll have 100 posts.
I don't know about the emails but there have been a few posts recently here about that and IIRC that's just the way it is.

I seem to get bulk delivery overnight or just after I have been wandering around the forums go figure.
