Go to the “notifications” tab in my account and edit it to how you would like it.

@Seaofclouds Everything was checked right and I still only get some emails.

@marialisa I noticed that I don’t get e-mails when I’m on the site. . Since you are only getting some e-mails, I would use the “contact” tab up top to let someone know and see if there is another issue going on.

@marialisa There can also be a considerable delay between when it happens and when you get the notification; In my experience, sometimes its been instantaneous, but sometimes as long as a day has gone by.

@marialisa Certain emails don’t get generated if you’re logged in to the site. The site assumes you are here, and will be notified here, so no email gets sent. Try logging off when you leave the site, and see if that fixes the problem for you.

I think that may be why…it just seems so random!
