Q: Notification of following communities

Hello

I want to be notified of discussion on AW communities.

I selected 'Following' but I did not get any notification.

What I am doing wrong?

THanks

    Hey there susja,

    I understand that you have a question about the Communities and getting notifications for the threads you're following. These updates will come via email to the email address associated with your Communities account. You can update the list of threads you are following by clicking on your profile in the top left corner, then going to Manage Subscriptions and click the Communities tab. 

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities, and let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Cheers.

    You are currently Following 3 AppleWATCH forums & all the threads in which you have Authored & Participated -

     

    IF you are NOT receiving email notifications (I would imagine quite a LARGE NUMBER of them), check

    Your Preferences | Communities

    https://discussions.apple.com/user-preferences!input.jspa

     

    Ensure that the "switches" are as indicated and that you [Save] after changing anything

    **************

    IF you still are not receiving emails

    • Turn OFF the Preference switches
    • > [Save]
    • > turn ON the switches
    • > [Save] 
    • wait for emails to arrive as a test

     

    If you still do not receive emails, report back here and I will alert our gracious Hosts to your issue, as this condition requires actions on their end

    Well ... after I turned all options off and then back on ... I started to receive all email notifications

    Thanks a lot for explanation.

    Great.

    Like a "sticky" light switch (although 'computers' are not supposed to act like 'analog' devices, they sometimes do!)
