Email notification - H E L P ! Problem solved.
I am still not being notified about a thread I have indicated I want to be notified about.
Am I the only one?
Update - Problem solved by changing to Gmail - but why I have no idea.

My problem seems to have corrected itself - after I changed to using a Gmail address.
I finally got a notification today.
Thanks for all your suggestions. 
I wish I knew what to say. I'm in no way a hacker or computer guru, just a dabbler. At this point I would suggest giving more details about your browser type, version, etc. Operating system... But that would only be helpful if someone who knows what to do with that info could offer to help.
The suggestion offered by Heidita about trying a different email address is something that I would try if this problem were happening to me. It would narrow down the problem to being with your computer, or your e-mail service.
Sorry, Ian I haven't got a clue about this.....would you like to write to Chris directly? may be....
I am not subscribed to any thread. But do what Issa says. To open a new account on gmail or somewhere is little bother and you may get this solved immediately. Actually, you could then use this account only for the forum. I mean, let's try this first...
Hi webdunce
Yes exactly. PMs but no notifications. 
Hi guys
Still no luck.
I don't get "word of the day" notifications either
Chaparrito - I got your PM but no email notification.
Thanks guys -
I have now created a Gmail account and updated my Spanishdict profile.
Let's hope that works.
Hi everyone I changed my email to a Gmail one but still get no notifications. Am I really the only one with this problem?
Chaparrito - If Explorer doesn't work we are all in trouble. Still no notification for me.

Chaparrito - that seems a lot of work. I don't think it is a problem my end.
Yeah, it might be. But I'm just trying to think of what I would do if I were in your shoes, since I know that I'd be pretty irritated. I would spend the 5 to 10 minutes just trying it, just to prove to myself that there is nothing wrong on my side and to give me peace of mind knowing that I'm not crazy! 
Hi webdunce Yes exactly. PMs but no notifications.
Just to be clear, Ian, you are saying you receive email notifications of PMs, right? I ask this because receiving PMs and receiving email notifications of PMs are two different things.
Ok, I'm sort of grasping at straws here, but I do have another suggestion, Ian.
But first a summary:
- We already know that you can get some emails from SpanishDict (proof: you get PMs).
- We also know that the problem is not with your email service (proof: using a different account changed nothing).
So: Create a new user account in SpanishDict, just to test this idea. Then post a question, anything. It could refer to this issue or simply: 'How do you say 'Turn in your homework'?' But whatever it is make sure the box that is labeled "Watch this question (Receive email updates)" is checked before clicking 'Ask Question'.
What I think this will establish: If there is something wrong with your profile which is preventing you from getting notifications, then a new profile should work just fine. If the test is successful it will prove, I think, that something on SpanishDict's side needs to be addressed. If you still don't get notifications, then I'm inclined to think it is something on your end. (I know there is a rule about not duplicating member registration, but I would hope that considering the problems you have been dealing with that Admin would work with you on this.)
Ian, after changing your email in your profile, do you still get PM notifications but no thread response notifications?
