    Hi

    I don't know if this is a know problem or what, but I'm getting an hour delay on the PM notification emails.

    No big deal, just thought I'd mention it.

    Thanks
    Dave.

    Suspect cron job sending notifications runs every hour or so if that is the case.

    They seem to be going out immediately for me. If you look at the header of the email, you should be able to see the times it passed from server to server and see where it's hung up.

    If it's exactly an hour delay, maybe your time zone isn't set right? In the footer of the forum, is it showing the right time for you?

    It's not exactly any specific time but they are definitely delayed for me too. If I'm on the forum when a reply is posted to a thread I'm watching, by the time I get the notification I've usually already replied like 20 minutes ago or more.

    Yep, sorry -- not an hour. It's usually 30 or 40 minutes. Time is correct for me on the forum.

    I don't think it's my server but I'll try changing my registered email address to a different server.

    Anyway, no big deal ..

    I get almost instant notifications as well, delay is normally 1-2 minutes.
