Insticator Commenting
Insticator sends out an email notification whenever another user replies to any of your comments. These emails are sent to the email address associated with your Insticator Commenting account. The most likely reason for missing notification emails on your commenting activity is that email notifications from our system (sent from the address no-reply@insticator.com) may be getting caught in your inbox's spam or junk mail folders. In order to make sure you're receiving email notifications, please check your spam filter and add no-reply@insticator.com to your whitelist or safe email list.
1. To double-check your account settings within your Insticator Profile and make sure email notifications are enabled (this is the default when a new account is created), click over to your Insticator User Profile by clicking on your username at the top-left corner of the Commenting Unit:
2. This will take you to your Insticator Profile page - click on the "Configure" button in the My Experience section:
3. Make sure the Email notifications toggle appears in color, meaning you are opted in to receive notifications:
COOL Comments
If you're expecting email notifications from Insticator but haven't received any, there are a few key things to check. Insticator sends email notifications to the email address linked with your COOL Comments account whenever another user replies to your comments. Here's how to troubleshoot and ensure you're set up to receive these notifications:
The primary reason you might miss out on notifications is if emails from our system (sent from no-reply@insticator.com) are being redirected to your spam or junk mail folder. To prevent this:
- Please check your spam or junk mail folder for any emails from no-reply@insticator.com.
- Add no-reply@insticator.com to your email's whitelist or safe sender list to ensure future notifications arrive in your inbox.
To double-check and adjust your email notification settings:
- Access your profile by clicking on your username, then select 'View My Profile'.
- Click on the 'Settings' button.
- Locate the Notifications section and find the toggle for Email Notifications. Ensure this toggle is set to on, indicating that you're opted in to receive email notifications.
By following these steps, you can troubleshoot and adjust your settings to ensure you don't miss out on important updates and replies to your comments.
