Are you guys getting email notifications about these threads?

Mine have suddenly dried up. You know, maybe it's a blessing ...

Still in training.

I tried to check the Email Notifications link on the right hand column but got the following:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Ah, well, another day at cs.trains.com ....

I got an e-mail notification for a thread that I don't recall signing up for...

Hmmm

No, but then I've never signed up for e-mail notifications to begin with.  I don't need a lot of e-mails cluttering up my screen, especially inconsequential ones.  I don't like clutter.

I only subscribe to a couple threads, and the feature seems to work fine. 

It doesn't always do it right away though.

I have never signed up for 'Thread Notification' however, I used to get notified of PM's - haven't been so notified for about 9 months +/-.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

I just tested my subscribe feature, and I am currently getting the notifications pretty much immediately. 

I have never had a problem being notified of PMs.

Yeah. That's why I get when I click on that, also.

I was getting notifications as recently as Nov. 7th.

Oh well.

It is not necessarily a problem with the Notifications system, but rather a coding mistake in the page that shows us and allows us to see/change settings for Notifications.
