Hello All,
I have discovered the problem with the email notifications. My ISP will no longer allow email "relays" and although I could send from the address the forum software wasn't allowed to relay messages. I've configured a Gmail account for this. It is restricted to 100 emails per day, but that should be sufficient.
This version of PHPBB will not allow me to use a dedicated email server because it only supports old Port 465 not STARTTLS on port 587. (Boring technical crap) but at some point if we start running into limits we'll need to patch the forum software. At any rate, emails should be working now but they will now be coming from forum.language.learner@gmail.com please configure your spam filters appropriately.

Re: Not getting email notifications
Yay I got a notification from the new Gmail thingy but the links in my email aren't "clickable"...
...I had to paste to view the item I had been notified about.
But yay anyway for notifications working again
Edit: spelling

Thanks so much for looking into this. It's great to have notifications back. I really appreciate all you do!

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Re: Not getting email notifications
I don't seem to be getting any notifications again?
Is it just me?

Re: Not getting email notifications
No it isn't just you. Google has very abruptly shutdown the account because of relaying. I am appealing and looking for an alternative.
