1) Me too! I've not received a MS Forums Alert for exactly a year now!
The latest MS alert was in Sep 2009, and that was probably before the migration to this new Forums.
2) What's interesting is that the traffic in this thread stopped about 8 months ago, and I wonder whether it is because the issue has been resolved by MS and most users are happy now, or people have simply
given up and considered the issue to be a hopeless one!
3) As many of you have already stated, without the email alerts these forums are almost useless for both posters and responders. It is absolutely wasting of time and frustrating to check for responses
and follow-ups in a timely fashion.
4) Fixing the problem for a couple of users, as MS had apparently done, is by no means convincing. Even for those "lucky" ones, if I recall correctly, they reported back: " ...receiving MS Alerts
is now a 50/50 chance depending on the weather", or something to that effect.
5) Can someone please advise on what exactly the current status of the
MS Alert Notifications is ??
Is MS still investigating the problem and considers it to be a priority ??
Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
