    So I just looked at my user control panel on FF.Net and found that I had 72 private messages that I had never been alerted to. "Private Message" alerts are set as on, but nothing arrived in my inbox.

    Looking around, I've also realised that I haven't been receiving alerts for when I receive anonymous reviews, which I have set to moderated.

    Anyone else been having problems with FF.net alerts?

    I haven't been receiving any new chapter notifications since the beginning of the month. But I've received new review notifications.

    I quit trying to figure out ff.net a while back and just check everything occasionally.

    Starting around the beginning of this month gmail began redirecting ffnet alerts into my spam folder. It took me a little while to notice. You've probably checked but if not, it's worth a look.

    FF.net have been moving to a new data center this past month, and there have been a few hiccups.

    This was posted a month ago:

    And this on 29th Sept:

    For my own experience I use a Gmail account and haven't been having any problems. I've received PMs, Chapter Alerts, and New Story Alerts this month. None seem to be "missing".
