I just looked and, yes, you do have "instant email notification" selected.

Double-check when you make a post or reply that, down on the page in the Thread Subscription field, it also has "instant email notification" selected. Also, double-check that the email address you gave us is still active.

That's all I got.
Any chance the notifications are getting filtered-out as spam?

Verizon is blocking all our emails. Here's a snippet from one of your bounced notifications.
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at postoffice.macnn.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<[email protected]>:
Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx but greeting failed.
Remote host said: 571 Email from 207.58.150.170 is currently blocked by Verizon Online's anti-spam system. The email sender or Email Service Provider may visit Verizon Online and request removal of the block. 120214
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

--- Below this line is a copy of the message.
...
So far they've been ignoring attempts to whitelist us. Perhaps they need to hear from more of our Verizon members.

If you do fill out their request form, our missing info is:

email domains and address you can't recieve mail from:
admin (at) macnn.com , forums.macnn.com , macnn.com

outgoing mail server: postoffice.macnn.com

Hmmm...maybe we need a post in the Lounge to alert our Verizon members to this?
