For some reason me and a few others are not receiving email notifications for the threads we are following. This has just been going on for the past 1-2 days. Everyone I have talked to...so far, has said that they are having the same problem...

Is anyone else having this issue? Is it being fixed?

Thanks! :)

I'm not getting some of my friends' update emails. I'm getting at least some emails for threads I'm following. Of course, there's no way for me to know if I'm getting all of them.

I'm still getting notification emails too.

I'm getting some emails, but hours later than the replies have been made.

Arch, Yes, I got one yesterday that was over 2 hours later than the post.

I hope Goodreads fix that problem.

I got notification e-mail saying that someone made a comment about my review of Little Red Riding Hood, but when I clicked the link and the site with my review opened, there was no comment on my review.

Anna maybe the person deleted their reply.

Maybe.

A friend posted a comment on a review of mine almost 10 hours ago, and so far, no email. (I noticed it on my homepage instead.)

Then Goodreads is acting up again.

Notifications should be going out just fine. Friend update emails got way backed up over the weekend - they should be caught up after today.

I started getting my notifications for my threads again, thankfully! :) It took a while, but they're back.

I haven't gotten my "new discussions" email today yet. Usually it comes around 5 or 6 PM. It's 9 PM and still no email.

I'm still missing more friends updates emails than I'm receiving. Just fyi. I'd love to get the missing ones, even if they arrive many days late. Thanks.

I'm missing emails too. When I get to the boards that I am. I see new replies, but no email, unless it comes hours later or don't come at all.

Hey, Otis, I'm still not getting any updates on the discussion boards or friends' either. What's up?

I haven't gotten any emails from GR since Wednesday.

Edit: I got a reply notification email just now on another post. So yay for even that! :)

I am getting Friend e-mails and Discussions I am following e-mails but NOT the Group Update e-mails - those I haven't seen in several days. I feel so out of touch!!!

We're all having different experiences, but a lot of us are not getting all of our emails.

Edit: I've been missing most of my friends updates emails and I really care about those. I'm getting at least some of my discussions emails and I care about those too. I'm getting most of my groups emails and those I don't much care about because I keep up with reading messages while online in Goodreads.

Otis, I'm really missing my friends updates emails. Can Goodreads tells which ones have not been sent out and send them at some point, or is this not possible? Thanks.

I got no friends updates since Wednesday, 5th and I really start to miss them...but at least I get the group update emails!

Inara, the same for me except that I was missing quite a few before then as well. I got a few that were about a week behind but I didn't get all of them.

I rely on the friends updates emails because I miss most of the activity on my home page. (The groups I can always look for unread messages and read them at groups here online.)

I'm not getting all message emails either. I'm not sure where or not I'm getting all emails for messages on reviews, but I'm getting at least some of them.

Yes, I think I missed many of my friend´s reviews and I rely on my update emails too because I can´t be online all the time.. big sigh! And like you I was missing a few notifications before too, then I got some a week behind and now again - nothing. It´s annoying..hopefully it will fixed soon!

Sorry - we got behind again :( Working on it now!

Thanks, Otis!

Thanks so much, Otis.

Thanks Otis.

Otis, In case GR doesn't know: It's more than just getting behind. For weeks I've been missing friends' emails. Even when I got a few that were a week behind, I did not get all of them, and now it's been many days since I've gotten more than just one email.

There have been several (at least) notifications that I haven't gotten at all either. The only ones I've noticed have been for inbox messages because I can see at the top of the screen when I have one yet never got a message for. I have no idea what comment emails I might never have gotten and therefore missed comments on.

Isis FG, an email must have bounced. Like one did for me and that's why I wasn't able to get my inbox messages.

Go to your account and see if you see an error in your "My account settings" box. It should inform you that a mail has been bounced and tell you want to do to re-verify your account.

Let me know if this worked.

Arch, No, many of us with valid emails are not getting most of our emails. It's a current problem. Some may have the issue you're talking about but most right now are not getting emails because GR isn't sending them out, not because they're bouncing.

Lisa are you and I talking about the same kind of emails? Isis FG said that she wasn't getting her inbox messages to her regular email. I was letting her know that I had that problem before, like in June.

Now, in regards to getting emails, when someone replies to a topic that you have on a group, then yes, I am not getting my emails regularly either. I am getting them hours later.

Arch, Some are coming ok apparently, some are arriving late, some aren't being sent out at all. There are a whole bunch of issues going on. There's both a GR problem with emails, and your suggestion will also help a certain number of members because that's always been an issue too. Right now though, even if someone's email is valid, they might be missing many of all kinds of their emails, so I was assuming most who were having problems were having the latter one.

Lisa,

Well I hope that Goodreads fix our problems soon.

Today, I've experience what Isis_FG and Lisa were talking about, in regards to Goodreads not sending an email letting me know that I had a message in my inbox.

I've just checked my email and I have gotten an email from Goodreads, letting me know that I have gotten an email, but it wasn't the email that Goodreads skipped, but a reply to an email I've sent my contact about 10 minutes ago.

Uh-oh, it looks like this problem is back. I'm not receiving email notifications from GR again.

Yes, GR is having that problem again.

Hmm, it seems to be working again... At least, I just received a bunch of (delayed) e-mails from GR. I don't know if there's anything missing, so I can only hope there isn't.

Emails are coming in slow. It started again for me yesterday.

I've been getting group discussion emails and I think I've been getting all my messages on reviews comments emails, but once again I am not getting my friends' update emails.

I know sometimes the queue simply gets behind, but I've noticed when the emails starts arriving days late, there have been many entire days worth of friends' update emails that I've never received.

I do read all my groups online but miss most of what's on my home page, so I really rely on the friends' update emails to see friends' reviews/books activities. So, I'm posting.

Thanks if these are in the process of being sent or can be sent!

Dratz, me too. Not receiving the friends update e-mail(s), but I appear to be receiving e-mail notifications for comments. :-?

Friend update emails are a day behind right now - catching up slowly. All other emails should be sending regularly.

Thanks Otis.

Thanks, Otis. Okay.

Yay Otis!

Otis is King.

Hey, Otis, I've been getting friends' updates and some few comments, but I'm not getting my group digests now for a couple of days. I redid my email (that is, I re-entered the same e-mail address) even though it hadn't been kicked. Hope this works out soon.

Otis - I just stopped getting the group daily digest e-mails within the last day too. I am getting my friend notifications and e-mails on posts I am specifically following.

Also, someone just sent me a Friend Invite and was not provided my Challenge Question. What's up with that?

I checked my Account and all settings are correct.
