anyone else have this issue?
i was chatting to a (an?) SR member after agreeing to read their short, and they told me they'd granted permission for me to download it
now as this was the first time i've requested a read – i know, not very community-minded of me – i didn't know how to download the script – so i went to the FAQs, where i learned i'd get an email with a link ... the email never came – and yes, i checked my spam folder (the member ended up emailing me the script)
but it gets odder – reading on, in the FAQs, i see this: When you download a script, an email is sent to the writer informing them who has downloaded it. – now, i've had a few scripts downloaded and read ... and have i have never received any of these emails
which makes me wonder, what else haven't i received?
I know one other member who's reported a similar issue this month. I have been looking into it. There's some pretty major development work coming up, and I'm hoping to iron out any bugs during that.
cool – thanks for that
I'm getting several downloads this week. I always make sure each screenplay has a poster. I think that helps attract attention.
ah, a slight misunderstanding – i'm getting requests and people are downloading scripts ... i just don't get the notification when a script is downloaded
that may well be the case in some instances – but i've gone to have discussions about the downloaded script, so i know they've read it, but i never go the alert
so ... the problem is 'solved' – following CJ's suggestion, i changed my email address in my profile and the notifications began to flow in – huzzah! – the original address was linked to my (squarespace) website and accessed through gmail – the "new" address is my old email which i use for day-today stuff, and is through my telco – not ideal, but i'll take it
