A classmate is wondering why no emails have been sent out for a while. I didn't realize that we've not received any of the auto birthday acknowledgments for a couple of months (at least) until he asked. Nothing has changed as far as preferences so am wondering too. Thanks,

I don't have an answer for you, but have been looking for awhile on how to send auto Happy Birthday emails. Can you help with how to do this? I'd be forever grateful!

The ClassCreator system did this automatically as long as proper option was checked. I thought it was a part of the administrator's tool "Preferences" but did not see it just now. Kyle, or someone, please help. Thanks. Carole

Carol, Although admins can't see who a member is following, assuming that both of those are true, I can only guess at why someone might not be receiving birthday reminders. My first guess would be that some email from Class Creator was tagged as spam. From then on, all mail from CC might be blocked. Checking the spam bucket would be a good place for them to to start. And whitelisting CC's sending address is always advised to minimize any inadvertent spam tag. Carmela,

Thanks, John. In this case and in the case of my classmate, we both have been getting emails for years. Why they suddenly stopped is a mystery. No changes have been made on our ends. Carole

By any chance, do you and your classmate use the same mail provider? We have seem instances where an ISP simply blocks suspected emails and does not return a reject message.

I think I know what you mean: He's sbcglobal and I'm aol. Is there a way to check to see if any emails were automatically sent to the class? Then I'd know if it's just some of us that are not receiving emails or none were sent out during the last 2 months. We've had several June and July birthdays but I've not made any changes for a while that would generate emails. I could just send an email to the class and ask, but I'd like to know first if any automatic emails have been sent. Thanks for your help,

Go to Statistics, Notify Me Statistics. Page down to see the Daily Totals showing how many have been sent lately. Generally, larger numbers are associated with new pages, announcements, In Memory moves, or birthday pending notifies for popular classmates. Smaller numbers come from private messages, or notifies about people who only have a few who subscribe to them. Of course, it all depends on what Notify Me choices people have made, but a consistantly large difference between the number sent and the number read could suggest that some are never getting the notify emails.

Below are the numbers I found under "Notify Me Statistics." Does this mean that 28 were sent out today and 21 yesterday? If so, i did not receive any of those 49 messages except those pertaining to my help-post. Furthermore, according to the "Messages between Classmates" numbers, only one message was exchanged this month. Date Sent Views Perc

NotifiyEmails.jpg Those numbers only document notify emails that your site sent, and don't reflect any emails that Class Creator sent for help forum entries. The latest numbers don't really mean much since there are probably classmates who don't check their email very often. Looking farther back though, it doesn't look like there's a lot of activity. But beyond the 7/16 number which is probably from a private message (or two), your view numbers and percentages look low to me. I've attached my own, and you can see that mine look more like I'd expect - with the possibility that some of my view numbers still look low to me too. Keep in mind that changes you make may not send you a notify since the system knows that you've already seen it. But I would expect you to have seen at least some of the notify emails sent out in the last couple days.

I'm concerned about the birthday messages which have been automatically sent and have always been received by me. I can only guess what the 49 messages in the past two days were about but since I didn't generate any of them and my classmates probably didn't, I'm guessing ClassCreator did and at least some of them may be birthday messages. Anyway, I didn't receive any of the 49. Am I understanding this correctly? There were actually 49 messages in the last two days that were sent out on my site? Carole

You can't tell from the stats how many notify email types were sent over the last two days. Those numbers reflect the total number of notify emails sent. It could have been 2 notify emails, one sent each day to the number of people shown on each of those two days. Or it could be several notify email types each day, some Immediate and some Once daily, split between various classmates whose Notify Me choices requested them. Whether or not you should have received a notify email on either day depends on which notify type was being sent, whether you're following certain classmates, etc. {Edit} More specifically, if one of your members had a birthday on any of those days, and they allowed 'Birthday Display' in their profile, and you're subscribed/following them, you should have received an notify email. If you did not, there's definitely a problem.

I'm back with the same problem but phrasing it differently. There have been 14 classmate birthdays in July so far. I am subscribed to all classmates so I should have received notification of each as has happened in the past. I did not receive any. Why? I would like ClassCreator to weigh in. Thanks,

I would need to know a name or two as examples so that I can verify some information in their accounts.

Hi Carole, I'm sure this was an error but somehow your Notify Me settings for birthdays was set to Never. I changed it to once daily. I believe this will resolve the issue. It might be a little while before your next birthday in your group as I don't see any more for July listed. Jessica

This is a real mystery. How could the setting be changed when I haven't gone into that section at all. Thanks for finding the change in setting. I'll check that before I yell for help next time. There are more July birthdays coming. I am one of them. We'll see what happens. Carole

The system does not send you a reminder of your own birthday - we assume you know when that is I was looking at the list pasted above - if there are more in July you should know soon. Jessica
