This has happened to another user a few days ago and I suspect that a mail server is treating it as spam - this is not uncommon with forum emails.

Sorry but there is nothing I can do about it.

Just had a look in Spam, shocked at the number of posts( usually never look there).
I apologies if I am slow at responding to any messages today, but a nice Russian lady wants to be my friend ;-)

Have you checked your settings tab? I only know about this because Moby told us last week!

If you click on the word "Notifications" at the top, a drop down menu will appear and on the right of the top bar is "settings". Click on this and you can set your preferences.

Good luck - hope that helps

I've checked my Gmail online spam, and there's nothing there. This problem has only started (for me) in the last couple of weeks, although a few months ago there were a few days when it was hit and miss.

I've just done that, and "saved" the whole deselection, then gone back in to reselect, only to find that most of the options have been reselected anyway!!

It is not your spam that is the problem - it is the mail server that just "throws them away". The likes of Hotmail. gmail et al have been upping their spam filters recently which is causing all sorts of problems.
