    Afternoon Baldrick, Happy New Year!!

    I have ben getting FALSE e-mail notifications
    on my posts response's!!
    for example, on this thread I started yesterday,
    VCD - can we minimize most blocks in "The Mummy Returns" opening scene?
    ...I got a false e-mail notification last night, and then
    just a minute ago (its now 3:17pm NY time) I got another
    e-mail notification, but when I went into the thread, there
    was NO new post waiting!!! I even went through to see if
    there were any of those:
    [ This Message was upd. . . . .]
    but I really couldn't tell if some was just only updating
    there response. Actually, I really can't tell if they did
    this, because the times on your forum are off by 1 or 2 hour
    and they are off at other locations in the world, so one
    never really knows if its an update that just came, or one
    that was done hours ago (and you never know) or something.
    Its just too confusing to figure out if someone's just
    updating there last response (way down or up your thread)
    or whatever. And, since I can't figure this out, if some
    one DID actaully revise one of there post(s), I'll never
    know about it (especially if there are 2 or more pages of
    them to scan through), as in the TWO (if true) e-mail
    notifications I received so far.
    The best thing I can suggest is this (to all) if you're
    going to revise a post on someone's thread, and it happens
    to be a very long page or spans more than a page, please
    post a new respones on THAT person's thread, else they will
    never see it, like myself!! just trying to be helpful
    about this till something can be done (if there is a problem
    in this area)

    Has anyone else ben getting these false alerts???

    Baldrick, Thank you for your forums support and (free) services

    you should not get an email if someone just edit a post. maybe just some emails have been delayed by the server.

    "because the times on your forum are off by 1 or 2 hour
    and they are off at other locations in the world, so one
    never really knows if its an update that just came"

    ???? if using the correct gmt it should not be off.
