Angry Not getting Facebook Notifications- GRR! Help? - 07-07-2010, 06:01 PM


So since about June 10, I have stopped receiving email notifications of activity on Facebook. Comments, likes, private messages etc.
I've emailed their support center several times with no response.
I do get email confirmations of my bug report "Thank you for your report...yadda yadda yadda..."
But I don't get email notifications any more. I'm so mad at them. They made billions of dollars last year and they can't keep it working right.

I was getting push notifications at least on my iPhone, but now that has stopped as well.
Yes, I have all the boxes checked to receive notifications.

Any experience with this or suggestions on what to do next?

You can choose NOT to receive email notifications. Unless you have the box unchecked and you still get them?

Aha! I would have had to go to the trouble to look. Thanks.

Haha, I wish my fix were that simple. It seems to be a server problem on their end or something. I hate FB so much but I love keeping in touch with my friends on it. Why can't they make it work right?!

Yeah it's not there. I mentioned that I get some emails from FB, such as the bug report confirmation emails.
What I did to pacify the problem though is subscribe via RSS to updates and now I'm getting emails but I can't read the msg directly in the email.

I had this issue. All of a sudden I stopped receiving all emails. Wierd. So I searched and found others having the same issue. Don't know why. What I get is when I pull up my facebook page I get a little box that says confirm your email. What I did that worked, was changed my email to another address. I have not tried to change it back, but others say you can and it will work fine.
