Where did you select instant email notification?

i checked with my server. for my other threads i got the email 3 hours late. but it was sent 3 hours late from macnn, not instantly!

also, for this thread, i'm not receiving any email notifications, even though i have selected it.

I think you're reading too much into "Instant." It looks like it means "reports on each post when sees it, rather than accumulating messages for a day/week and e-mailing you a list."

Granted, it shouldn't take too long, but e-mail can be a fickle thing.

sorry for the confusion. i don't mean it to be instant at all. even 30 mins if fine at this point. however, i'm getting notifications several hours later, sometimes up to 24 hours.

and sometimes i don't even receive the replies.

Here is another solution: become a post whore, and you don't want / need email notification anymore
