Quote - If by ebots you mean the automated Forum Topic Replies, I have no trouble getting them - hence my currant reply to your Post.

Check your settings.

Either that, or remember to tick the 'Notify me when someone replies' box below 'The Message'  'Box' where you type.

Well, I have not been getting "automated Forum Topic Replies", and I've replied, so,  hence it doesn't naturally follow that a reply implies a successful ebotting. ;-)

C'mon now, I've been a member since May of 2000. I know what settings need to be what and what needs to be checked. And the "notify me when someone replies" check box is checked by default.
I've always had an ebot problem here, and it's not my ISP or any kind of anti-spam settings in my email or anything like that. Sometimes they come, sometimes they don't.
It simply doesn't work all the time for everybody, with messages from every forum, and if you search for it, you will find probably thousands of complaints about this all throughout this site. If there aren't any Ebot topics on the front page of this forum right now, keep checking - sooner or later there will be.

(EDIT: for that matter, here's a recent one:

It does work, intermittently, at least. I got ebots just last weekend from a post in the Poser forum here, but none from this thread.
Trust me when I tell you this site doesn't work the same for everybody, and, ebots aside, you can see evidence of that in the myriad of site functionality-related complaints all over the place here, in all of the forums.
