Hi Cavalierlady, you will find the options to turn ebot msgs on for the forums if you click on "Forum" in the top header of the Renderosity site. You will need to check off each forum you would like notifications on. For the new favs list postings you will need to go to your profile page and look under the heading of "Would you like to receive the following by email" for the lines that say "Receive notification when members add you or your gallery images to their favorites list?" (Yes/No) or "Receive notification when your favorite artists upload a new gallery image?" (Yes/No) For ratings and comments, you will need to ensure the radio buttons below the upload portion of your upload page are checked. You are probably aware of all these areas that need to be chosen. I'm just mentioning them again so you can double check them. If the problem is still persisting I'll take it to the programmers and see what they recommend next. Good Luck CavalierLady and keep us posted :)
