Does the email notification system work for anyone?

I never receive any emails from UnityAnswers to let me know about replies on questions I am subscribed to. Does this work for anyone, or is something wrong with my account?

My account's notification options all look correct, but next to my email address in my profile is a "send verification email" link. Nothing happens when I click this link, which seems like a clue that something is wrong with the QATO backend.

I receive at least thirty emails a day at my (Gmail powered) address, and have no other problems with it. I did check my spam folder just in case...

In response to this thread, QATO fixed the notification system yesterday and I have been receiving notifications correctly since then. Thanks guys!

Ever since Unity Answers transitioned from SO to QATO, much of the system has been not exactly functional.

The best way to track responses is to just visit your user page @ http://answers.unity3d.com/users/3581/ina.html#/recentActivityTab (insert the URL preceding and including ina.html with your own user page URL)

Fair enough, thanks for the tip. Pretty embarrassing that this still isn't working though...

Hmm, the system actually sends out a ton of emails every day. Can you send an email to support@qato.com and we will look into it. In fact, email sending has been the focus of a lot of changes here.

Yeah, it's to the point at which I've manually disabled all my qato notifications because it was spamming up my emails!

could be that gmail is auto-classifying all qato emails as spam

I receive emails (around 400 a week :D) However i can't read them all. I check my mails just a couple of times a week so there are too much to read through all of them. The old system was nice since it marked it as read when you just view the question again. That way only a few true unread messages was left over.

So i actually don't really use the email notifications... It's just a mess
