Lithium platform issues?

[Cleoriff]

Just wanted to know if anyone is having the same problem as me?

I use Gmail for this forum only. I use btinternet for any other emails.

Yesterday and the day before I realised some emails from this forum weren't coming into my inbox......and when they did they were hours after they had been sent.

Really annoying as 5 years ago when I joined this forum, I used bt internet. After a couple of years I realised BT didn't seem to be compatible with Lithium (emails stopped coming in and others were having the same problem)so I changed to Gmail. Had no problems at all till now.

As an example, when I logged on this morning there were 40 new emails from the forum in my inbox. These are just three of them

Note the time they came in. When I checked they were all sent yesterday from 12md onwards!

I have the same issue this morning. Up to now I have made 4 posts (from 6am) not one has arrived in my inbox, although some from yesterday are trickling in.

To test whether it was Gmail or the forum, I sent myself an email from my btinternet address to my gmail. It arrived in my inbox immediately. which definitely confirms it's a lithium problem.

I subscribe to a lot of topics on here and if I post on one, I get emails on that until people stop posting.

It's also annoying as I know some emails haven't arrived at all.

I also log on to the forum via the latest email I receive...so it's all damn frustrating really.

Just wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same problem?

 @Marjo @Martin-O2 @EmilieT

Are you aware of this problem and if so, is anything being done to resolve it? Thanks in advance for any input you may be able to provide.

Now I am getting a mixture!!

SOME of those posted this morning are coming in as soon as they are posted.

Two of them are from the guys who are having no issues ie @MI5 and @gmarkj..posting on this thread

The others are from the Music Game played yesterday....and nothing from Glory who IS also posting on the thread and is having issues.

It can't be just the two of us @Cleoriff, surely. Your on PC and I'm on mobile. Oh joy 🤣

I did speak to @Marjo about it yesterday. She asked me to start the thread actually as she felt it could be a Lithium platform issue. A few other 'glitches'currently going on I believe.

I suspect it would only affect those who post a lot. (with the exception of @MI5 and @gmarkj)

Mind you the fact it doesn't affect those two is another twist in the tale really?

[Glory1]

Well I've just had an email from another thread I posted on this morning. Still nothing at all from any of the posts on this thread.

I forgot I also had an email from a post I made this morning on another thread and it was a reply to my post from @MI5.

[Glory1]

I give up. I'm off to have a kip.

[Cleoriff]

@MI5  is obviously immune from this bug @Glory1

[gmarkj]

Well either you cursed me or the fault worked it's way round @Cleoriff as neither of your last two mentions has got me any emails...
Is the lag between the mention and the email the same or does it vary (so 9 hours all the time or was it 7 then 9 then 7)?
Just wanting to know when I should look out for the next one...
FYI, the last email that came through was at 9:57 which suggests that it was post 8 in this thread. Nothing from the 10:46 or the 11:19 posts yet.

[gmarkj]

Could it be related to the section of the forum the thread is in?
@Glory1 where was the post that got the reply? And was it sent/received in a timely manner?

[Cleoriff]

To be honest @gmarkj every post of yours on this thread has come through immediately.

@Glory1's hasn't, except the last one when she queried whether it was just her and me.

However no other posts of hers have come through...whether on this thread or any other I am subscribed to

[Cleoriff]

Additionally.... yesterday the ones that failed to appear made no mention of my name at all. For instance the Games thread and those in off topic (and other sections)

However Martin mentioned me at 4pm yesterday in a thread where we were querying  something about Lost and stolen... It came through at 2.23am this morning...
