Notifications?!?

[pianoteacher]

I don't seem to be receiving email notifications when people I follow post. I've nearly missed two posts about massive achievements this weekend (Ripcurlrana71 's 10k and JoBC 's Half Marathon) only coming across the posts by chance when scrolling down the feed.

Anyone having a similar problem or know how to fix it? xx

EDITED fixed by changing my email address. Was using an old account which redirects to my Gmail - using my Gmail address now and everything appears to be back to normal 😀

Sometimes there are glitches on the computer system anywhere on the Internet, usually it sorts itself but if the problem persists get onto your Internet Service Provider and explain and tell them about the problem, by the way I completed my first 5k yesterday😊

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

See didn't know about that either Alan and I follow you! Very well done 😁

Another test post from Dexy5

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to pianoteacher]

I’ve just had a note to say you are following me so does this work?

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Still no email notification ☹️

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to pianoteacher]

If you click on your avatar you will see edit profile on the top right . Do you need to change anything there PT?

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I'll have a look x

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to pianoteacher]

Sorry, I mean the cog wheel above edit profile

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Gosh I didn't even know that was there! Didn't need to change anything though - it was all ticked to receive notifications on posts from people I follow x

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to pianoteacher]

I’m stumped then. I get a notification on my phone when someone posts as well as an email . Are you not getting them either?

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Nope! I've just changed the email address I use on here as I was using an old email address that was then being forwarded to my Gmail account. Could you possibly do me another test to see if that's fixed it? x

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to pianoteacher]

Testing testing 😃

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Hooray!!! Thank you so much - all fixed 😁

Must be a problem with the old email address xx

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to pianoteacher]

Hoorah 😁

[Runsome Graduate10]

Hi i can do a test post see if you get it😀

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

Nope nothing from either you or Dexy5

[Ang33333]

Not sure...a lot of mine go to spam. But not all. 🤪🤪🤪🤪

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Ang33333]

Checked there Ang - no luck unfortunately ☹️

[Runsome Graduate10]

I wrote a new test post I guess your still not getting notifications. try unfollowing then follow again perhaps they will start to come through😀

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

Just unfollowed you and Dexy and re followed you - nothing yet! x

[Runsome Graduate10]

Have you recently updated the iOS on your phone . I had to delete and reinstall the HealthUnlocked app last week☹️

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Runsome]

I literally have no idea 🤣 I'm a tech dinosaur - had a Nokia brick until 4 or 5 months ago! I'll ask my boyfriend in a minute. He works in IT so might be able to fix it x

[Runsome Graduate10 in reply to pianoteacher]

It may not even be anything to do with the phone but it worked for me😀

[Razouski]

It is quite weird like that. I have missed loads of posts from people I follow.

I thought it was because I'm not on here as often as I used to be. Sometimes life gets in the way, but I'm still running - in fact I managed 21km in record time on Friday 2hours 2mins and 42 seconds. Well it was a PB for me and all part of my training for the Windsor Autumn Half Marathon on the 20th October. Now apparently I have to taper...

Hope all is well with you and that you're having lots of happy runs.

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Razouski]

I haven't been on here quite so much since term started in September either. Well done on that PB - fantastic time!

I'm on the IC at the moment with a hamstring strain. Apparently running stupidly fast over short distances isn't a good idea when you're over 40 - who knew?!? 🤣😂 Don't think it's anything too serious but going to take time to recover so it doesn't become a recurring problem.

Good luck with the Half - hopefully I'll get the notification xx

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Have you gone into your contact preferences ? Not sure where they are.

[Tasha99 Graduate10]

How are you Marie? How’s the injury? Xx

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

I'm OK thanks Tasha. Think I've just been overtraining my hamstrings. I quite often do kettlebells on my rest days and that and a combination of sprinting and over stretching in yoga are what's caused it I think.

I can walk and do the stairs pain-free now so am going to start some stretches I've been given for recovery today. Don't think I'll be doing anything other than slow jogging for a while! xx

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to pianoteacher]

You’ll come back stronger!
