Well that
would be worrying !
I managed to get to the bottom of the problem.
I think it might be better if I explain briefly how the Notification system works.
When a message gets created it keeps all of the posted details in a file on the forum server eg "message 12345". If a member then decides they want to be notified of any additions to that thread the forum will recognise the "notify" request.
When the request is received the forum then creates a new file called "12345 notify". At that time the forum program will then read your username and email address and insert it into the file called "12345 notify".
When another member adds a message to "message 12345" and clicks on "Post" the forum then looks for a file to match it ending with "notify". If it finds a file with that name it sends a notification to the email address stored in it.
When it falls down though is that if you change your email address on the forum all of the old messages that have your email address attached as "notify" files will still show your OLD EMAIL ADDRESS.
I think that is what has happened here.
The email address has been updated so when Julie asks the forum what notification messages she has, the forum reads the email address from her profile and searches all of the messages to see if any "12345 notify" email addresses match hers.
Because the don't match (as the email address in her profile has changed) the forum doesn't recognise that Julie is the "owner" of the notification messages sitting on the forum.
Clear as mud ? ? ?
It is to me
I hope that is the answer ? ?
