Reply notification problem?

Lately I've been hit or miss on whether I get email notification emails sent to me. Is there a problem going on? Of course I wouldn't mention it unless I was sure that I check marked the appropriate box. Sometimes I get an email and other times I happen find replies to my posts while browsing but never getting an email. (I did get an email from a PM that was recently sent). No need to reply if you don't want to. I'm just letting you know that it seems to be happening that way for me.

Cool

Well, I've posted a few messages now where I had the email notification marked. As it states in the message, you will receive no further notifications unless you view the thread. So one notice, then nothing until you essentially reset the flag by visiting the thread.

In my experience, if I reply, I always get notification of new messages.

I got a reply to this one. But others have been mixed. I know about not getting subsequent replies until you visit but one of my posts never sent me any replies and then I found out that people did reply. It doesn't seem to happen all the time but it's happened to me 3 or 4 times in the past few weeks. Hmmm.

The forums are buggy in a few areas. Another I know of is the Avatar. I remember someone else asking about the email notification, but I've not investigated any further.

I've been putting off fixing things, as I had hoped to get the site upgraded to vB3 by now.

Anyone else read about the "imminent public beta release" Kier mentioned here on May 12th, 2003?

I'm currently administering four vBulletin forums (2 are very inactive). All four forums have been waiting without upgrades for months in anticipation for this "imminent" release. Quite franky, while vB2 was a great product, I am very unsatisfied with Jelsoft as a business and their customer relations. Mad

And to continue my rant:

when you have finished, use the tools provided in vBulletin 3 to add a table prefix to your vBulletin tables

If vB3 will support prefixed tables, then why won't the installer prompt for a table prefix? They're asking people to break other working scripts temporarily just to install vB. Where is the professionalism here?

BTW, vB3 is due for release within the next 22.5 hours.
