For the past few days I haven't been receiving forum email notifications on threads I'm subscribed to.
Yes I've checked that I'm subscribed to the threads and all of my settings and that the threads are getting more posts and that I receive emails from Daz normally.
Not really sure what else to do about it.

When you say subscribed, do you mean that you have bookmoarked them
Yup. I changed it to not only give email notifications but also popup. Not seeing any popup thing but I'm receiving emails again now, so problem solved, but still no idea why.
That's true for the forums threads I've subscribed to as well. It's very inconsistant about notifying when there are new posts in a thread.
Okay nevermind now it's not sending me notifications again, because I didn't get any sort of notification for nonesuch00's reply, but I received an email for Chohole's.
Bookmarking has NEVER worked correctly for me. Sometimes I suddenly get emails when I start browsing the forums. But if I am away, there are no notification emails. It seems like I have to be actively using the forums for the thing to work, and even then it only partially works. That is not exactly practical. And yes, I hit the star icon at the top of the forum, and it shows up as subbed in my bookmarks panel. Its just one more backwards thing about these forums on the list of issues they have. Oh, and that search bar is still a pathetic joke.
It's making me wonder now how many threads I thought died naturally that actually just continued but without notifications.
Right now I'm getting emails for about half the threads I'm subscribed to that are being posted to (i.e. checking manually vs which got emails) it's also not thread specific so I'm pretty sure there's no way I have an option wrong.
I did finally get a popup notification but only for the 2 threads I just received emails about, which suggests it's a notification problem, rather than an email problem.
A good example is the March Madness thread. I subbed it. The first day I subbed it, I got a lot of email notifications. Ever since then, it has been sporatic at best. If I go to the Daz forums after being away from them for a while, I might get a pile of notifications for recent posts in that thread. One time I took a look and found about 50 posts had been made, and I only had a notice for the last 2 or 3 from when I opened the thread up myself.
There are some other threads I also thought had died, but no, they simply did not notify me of the posts. When I open up those threads, sometimes I get an email for it. LOL. That really defeats the purpose of bookmarking.
I do see the little notifications that pop up at the bottom of the screen when browsing the forums. So those do work, but again, that's only when I am actively on the forum. Obviously I can't see those if I'm browsing other sites. That would be a nifty browser extension.
Good luck with this, I have comented many times about it and got the same response each time. You would think after so long they would do something to fix it instead of blaming emails, browsers or the individual for the failings of the forum software.
