Just noticed, I had 3 PMs yesterday from someone on here ( which I'd read while on here anyway) but only 2 of GR's notifications went to my inbox, the 3rd went to spam. Could be the reason people are missing messages, so perhaps worth checking your spam if you don't routinely do so.

That's probably where a number end up, especially if someone has abandoned their hobby. Its easier to consign all emails from GR to the spam box than navigate the site to opt-out.

I haven't been receiving any genes emails at all.

My junk mail box shows any emails that have been diverted into it and none have been genes ones

Just strange that the one that went to spam was sent just a few minutes after the one that went to my inbox.

It's annoying. I missed one from a dear friend only a few days ago. ;-)

I haven't received any emails from GR for over a week (since Sunday Sept 7th)

My email system tells me if it has diverted any emails to the junk file ........ and no GR ones have gone.


Mind you ............... my security system has been set up so that it can delete obvious spam or junk emails without telling me :-)


I just have to remember to check the number of pms showing as unopened ................ any more than 2, then I have a new message :-)
