    When I get an email letting me know there is a response on a subscribed thread, there is usually a link you can click on that will redirect you to that thread. Today the links are no longer hyperlinks and I have to copy and paste the url instead of simply clicking them.

    Is this a Gmail thing or something that has changed on wrxatl?

    Still not working for me. Nasioc sends the exact same layout and the links are hyperlinked where I can click them.

    For instance:
    The link above is hyperlinked in my email and works.

    The link above is NOT hyperlinked in my email (but does in this post) and it's annoying! Alex is there something special in the coding or anything that WRXAtl is not doing? They used to work.

    I think GMAIL is formatting the email weirdly. Try using an alternate email client like Outlook or Thunderbird and test it.

    I use outlook and all of my notifications work for me just fine and dandy like:

    I think our work firewall is blocking Thunderbird from accessing gmail.

    you're lucky you get e-mail notifications at all. I was getting some last week but now they are no longer arriving.

    I have already explained the reasoning for this several times:

    Here's your evidence / proof:

    This is the error on the last email that went to your ******@hotmail.com address Patrick.

    Notifications are being sent, but they are being denied by several ISPs because someone on our VPS cluster eff'd the IP. This is another reason why I am reviewing dedicated solutions through GNAX at the moment. I am still in the process of submitting whitelist / blacklist removal requests.
