why have i been monitered please, and why am i not getting any mail

It happens to many of us at some time but you don't have to feel like a criminal. I know that posting links to other sites can be problematic and sometimes combinations of letters can trigger an over enthusiastic algorithm into misunderstanding.

The not getting notifications also happens from time to time. It's happened to me and I never did find out whether or not it was my system that was blocking them. It just righted itself. Meanwhile, I just logged in and clicked on Notifications on the home page.

I've just explained in detail on the other thread but basically as Betty says - the algorithm picked something up something and caught it for a person to check. Something as simple as forgeting a space after a fullstop will fool it that there is a link even though there isn't or a set of letters in another word triggers it because it is too sensitive.

Have you checked your spam folder in your email box? Someone recently had reported something as spam (possibly by accident, I don't know) and that had upsest her notifications. I reported her post - as I will report yours - and the Moderator explained what it was. 

I have patient.info PMR forum bookmarked - and then use the notifications at the side of the page. It doesn't matter then if the emails dry up.

Hi Margaret,

The only post of yours that went for moderation was because you posted the same discussion twice in quick succession. We have to do this to stop spammers posting many times trying to advertise etc.

Re emails - I have checked with our email sender and your emails are being sent and have been opened so I assume this is now ok?

Regards,

Alan

Sorry to intrude on these posts but I set up my password automatically and now want to use this site on my iPad as well as my laptop but can't remember password to either re-set or to use on other equipment! I did send an email requesting help with this but have had no response.....apologies as this is not the right place to ask but just took a chance in the hope you can point me in the right direction....thanks x

Thank you Eileen, my question this morning was that my blood test ESR and CRP  are 5 , but I am still getting pains in my right temple and earache, I wondered if this is caused by pred.

I actually stopped the notifications because they fill up my inbox.  I just go to the notifications on the site and see everything in the forums I follow.  If you keep getting signed out it might be something to do with the settings in your device.  If I go from one device to another I have to sign in, but I ask the device to remember the password so it's a simple click to get in.

Unlikely I would think, but who knows! Having normal range blood tests while taking pred doesn't mean there can't be inflammation. They often lag long behind it developing and in some people don't rise at all while they are taking pred, even at a low dose.

Hi missmagwumps,

There is a "Forgotten password" link on the sign in page you can use to reset your password. Just enter your email address and you will be sent an email explaining how to reset.
