I have not been receiving any email notification for jobs nor for Kudoz questions since middle December. At the beginning I was not worried because I thought that due to the holiday season nobody was interested on working for a while. But now I am getting worried as I could see that all the notifications for jobs and Kudoz questions shown at the Proz inbox were not sent to my email address. What can I do?

I had the same problem some time ago... Jan 3, 2010

As far as I know you have to submit a support request (http://www.proz.com/support). Best regards,

Teresa

Support request needed Jan 3, 2010

Hello,

Once you've checked your settings for job notifications (esp. to check that you havn't turned them off by accident) and your email address, then you should raise a support request. Links to this are all over the site or look under "About" - "Support Center"

Have you got a Yahoo account? Jan 3, 2010

If that is the case, it seems Yahoo filters some ProZ mails as spam and you don't receive them. I have been having the same problem for 3-4 months. You could try and send ProZ an e-mail telling them about your problem. They told me to change my e-mail address in my profile till the problem is solved so that I could receive all the notifications.

Please submit a support request Jan 3, 2010

Hello all,

As Sheila suggests, would you mind submitting a support request, Dunny? Make sure you include at least one URL of a job and of a KudoZ question for which you were not notified. This will help support staff members look into this further.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Lucia

Thanks for your suggestions Jan 4, 2010

I have checked three times my settings and confirmed that all is ok. My account is not a Yahoo so that ít´s not the cause of the failure. I will temporarily change my email address to receive new notifications. Thanks to all for your kind support.

Is it VTR? Jan 4, 2010

Hi Dunny

I have the same problem. The last notifications I got were sent on December 22.

I checked my settings, I verified with the "mail monitor" that is in the Support Page.
Finally I sent a Support Request. No reply until I had the great idea of checking "My Support Requests" and there it was. The support reply had been sent to the same address I was complainig about (!).

Hi Dunny

I have the same problem. The last notifications I got were sent on December 22.

Finally I sent a Support Request. No reply until I had the great idea of checking "My Support Requests" and there it was. The support reply had been sent to the same address I was complainig about (!).

So I did what they suggested me to do, which I could also have imagined myself... I changed the address, but this is a problem when you have a specific address for the notifications and all the filters are configured for it.

If your SP is VTR, we might be able to do something directly with it.
