Email notification workaround
I'm a Comcast user. The email notification has not worked for me since the forum upgrade. I got it to work yesterday by doing this.
1. I opened a Gmail account here: https://www.google.com/accounts/NewA...ae1d22a&type=2
2. After I opened the account, I changed my email address here on the forum to my new Gmail address.
3. I then went into Gmail SETTINGS and clicked on the FORWARDING AND POP/IMAP tab and set it to forward all emails for my regular email address.
4. I also set Gmail to delete all emails after they are forwarded so my inbox won't get full.
This all sounds rather difficult but it really isn't. If anyone has trouble, just PM me and I'll try to help.
Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

It does say any left in trash for 30 days will be deleted?

I have read where that feature was not working but have not tested it myself.
