My notices stopped a month ago at least. I am not for sure what it is.

Not saying this is the issue, but many times your ISP will blacklist an IP or domain when it thinks they are sending SPAM due to the volume of traffic originating from it.

Try sending your ISP tech support an email and ask them to check their blacklist for texaschlforum.com domain traffic and see if they are blocking it. They can add it back to an approved list.

I noticed that the texaschlforum.com domain doesn't have a SPF record associated with it. It will be useful to have that record added for the mail server that sends forum notifications. This lets the recipients' email providers know that those messages aren't spam.

I have not been getting them for about a month. I just figured it was another Covid situation since everything else that does not work is blamed on Covid. My email is Verizon.

I was getting so many notifications several years ago that I shut that feature off and just check the "notifications" link each time I login. I don't have as many now from this forum, but I still go through 20-50 emails a day total. Only about 2-5/day are kept for some period of time before getting permanently deleted

I am not getting any notifications either. I haven't been active here in a while, and had also forgot my password. Both the Forgot my Password tool, and the contact an Admin didn't do anything at all for me. I tried the password link multiple times, and the contact an admin twice with no success or any emails in my inbox.

I ended up digging out my old laptop that had the password saved in the browser and was able to log in that way. The last email I ever received from @texaschlforum.com was in 2018.
