I don't know what it is so I hope someone has some words of advice, tips or tricks or maybe just a swift kick in my headmeat to help me deal with these forums more efficiently.

Heh maybe it's hopeless...

Anyway here's the deal

I cannot for the life of me get these forums to tell me when a post of mine has been replied to. I've got it checked in my profile and it just doesn't happen. I don't know what else I can do...

I can't get SOE to email me stuff either. I missed out on 10 buddy keys because of this and I have every bleepin email box checked on my station pass account.

Is this just the way it is or is there some way to get this to work for me?

I know it sounds wrong, but I'd really like these forums and SOE to spam my email.

I tried to upload an avatar from my puter today and that doesn't work either. Did it as a bmp and jpg, it's not too largre or anything, I get an update successful message but the image is an error X.

It's real frustrating trying to keep up with my posts without any ability to track to them on these forums.

Anyone got any suggestions or answers?

Hopefully I'll be able to find this thread again...

Edit: this should probably have been posted in the technical support forum but too late now. If someone can move it, that would be spiffy.

Thanks guys , that solves the avatar issue.

But what about the email issue? Is it just me or does everyone suffer not being able to know when a post has been replied to?

If others are getting email notifications from these forums, then what do I need to do to fix this for myself? I've got it checked on the reply page, in my profile preferences and my email address in my profile is correct. I check my junk mail folder regularly.

I just don't get it with the email notification thing. 

If others have the same problem, then what do you do to work around it?

Same thing goes for the SOE emails.
