are you receiving emails from pf?
FYI, I haven't received email notifications in months. (Yes, "instant notification" is still turned on; No, I don't have AOL.) I no longer get any email notifications: not for new posts in subscribed threads nor for reported posts in the forums I moderate.Greg Bernhardt said:are you receiving emails from pf?
I haven't been getting the reported posts e-mails in moths.Doc Al said:FYI, I haven't received email notifications in months. (Yes, "instant notification" is still turned on; No, I don't have AOL.)

Am I the only one not getting them? (I thought this was a bug that came with the last upgrade.)
In any case, I've learned to live without them just fine. (Since I'm on PF so much anyway, clicking on subscribed threads works just fine.)
We've had AOL since about '96, back when it was reasonably better than it is now. Then we had dial up. The wife like it (it's her account), so we kept it - until it crashed on her machine and she lost some data. Hence the change.Pengwuino said::O Astronuc has aol?!
But but... he's normally so impossibly smart

I'm not doing too well today.wolram said:I thought they came in packets
Astronuc said:I have in the past, but not recently.
I turned off the email notification, and I usually keep my PM storage open.
We planning to cancel AOL soon! Should be fun.

I was ready to give it up along time ago.cyrusabdollahi said:Dear god, you use AOL? Are you MAD?!
No, the spam filter removes most before they get to the email storage on the AOL server.cyrusabdollahi said:Is AOL the only ISP that you get emails for male or female enhancment by the dozens?
Likely they have an earlier/older version of AOL. I don't think it's necessarily that AOL gives out members information, certainly not without permission. I get spammed at work, but then my work email goes out to a lot of other people. If other people are not careful, one's email address can be scattered all over the net. Then there are tracking cookies, like Bluestreak, Tribalfusion, Casalmedia, . . . . That's why anti-spyware - anti-adware is necessary.cyrusabdollahi said:I know an elderly couple that uses AOL and gets these emails all the time. I know that they are not going to these types of websites, which only means AOL sells out their members email account addresses...
Haven't you read the horror stories about cancelling an AOL account?!Astronuc said:We've had AOL since about '96, back when it was reasonably better than it is now. Then we had dial up.

I still have to try to recover her data.

I can't wait for my wife to try to cancel AOL. If they give us a hard time, I will be most certainly contacting the state Attorney General.
Nah, both my hotmail and gmail accounts get those too. Of course, both have fairly good spam filters, so they all wind up in the junk mailboxes.cyrusabdollahi said:Is AOL the only ISP that you get emails for penis enlargement and breast enhancement by the dozens?
I'm guessing that's the point of this thread, even though it wasn't explained. AOL has a nasty habit of blocking emails from entire ISPs for no particular reason. All of our university's emails were being filtered from AOL for a while. Once they found out, it took about 3 days to straighten it out.Astronuc said:I wonder if the AOL filter is catching PF emails?
Yeah, I am looking forward to the phone call. Maybe I'll record it for quality assurance.yomamma said:Haven't you read the horror stories about cancelling an AOL account?!

AOL, or America Online, was an early internet service provider that was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s. As a scientist, studying "members with aol accounts" may provide insight into the behaviors and trends of internet users during that time period.
While the use of AOL accounts has significantly decreased in recent years, it can still be relevant in certain research studies that focus on specific demographics or time periods. However, it is important to consider the limitations and biases that may come with studying this particular group.
AOL accounts are no longer widely used, so accessing data from them may be difficult. However, researchers may be able to obtain archived data from the company or through partnerships with other organizations.
As with any research involving human subjects, it is important to consider ethical implications when studying "members with aol accounts". This may include obtaining informed consent, protecting the privacy and confidentiality of participants, and ensuring that the study does not cause harm or discomfort to the participants.
Studying "members with aol accounts" can provide valuable insights into the early days of internet usage and how it has evolved over time. It may also provide insights into the behaviors and characteristics of a specific demographic or community. However, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of studying this particular group and to interpret the findings accordingly.
