We used to have karma turned on which is like ‘like’ but it was turned off a long time ago because people didn’t really like it.
As far as I know notification emails are put in the queue immediately they arise. If the mail queue has a lot in it then it might take a little while to send, but there are usually only a handful of messages in the queue so messages should go out within a minute or two at most.

Bashy post :50:09 on forum
I just did a quick grep on the maillog and the average delay through the mail system for notifications going to Bashy today is about 50 seconds. That’s from origination, to outbound malware/spam scanning to delivery to the remote mail server.
Not a problem. This is a forum and it is always good to kick around ideas here.
@Niko, Chris, perhaps its a Gmail thing then :? :roll:
If you’re using GMail to pick up mail from your domain then there will be a delay. GMail trains itself to how often on average you receive emails and sets the collection time accordingly. There are probably lower and upper limits to the collection frequency…I think the quickest is about 8-10 minutes which should give an average of about 4-5 minutes delay on receiving emails.
AH… that will be it, i have just changed it to my gmail account,
it was coming from from suffolk weather through gmail, thanks Chris
lets see how quick it is now, if you reply that is lol
Not a quick reply but hopefully you’ll see the notification quickly.
Just got it now, is the forum an hour behind, says you spotted this at 3:15pm
See if the time is better now. I flipped the server into GMT by mistake a few days ago…it should run in UTC time zone.
Although UTC is GMT at the moment so that can’t be it :oops:
Still 3, unless i have to set it in my profile?, 2 secs…
Current forum time: February 13, 2017, 03:24:11 PM
I am set to default (auto) in me profile :?
My profile is set to ‘1’ and the posts are appearing at UK local time. Perhaps the forum doesn’t know where Suffolk is 
Ha ha, who does 
I aint bothered about it, no know eles obviously is so, as ya were… 
cheers Chris
The auto timezone thing is just broken in SMF, this isn’t the only forum that I have to either adjust for DST or just live with the time being “off” part of the year.
An smf bug then I take it, no worries, I didn’t notice tilnwe started messing with emails lol
Not sure it’s fair to call it a bug. We’ve got an international forum with users in pretty much every time zone and there’s no guaranteed way from a browser interface to know how local time on your PC compares to UTC. Add onto that that some time zones are plain weird and not based on geography, e.g. China covers three time zones but only uses one, plus there are 30 minute time zones in some places. Then the use of DST varies dramatically (I think I saw that that some US states have areas with DST, other areas with no-DST, and some that have a 30 minute DST). Oh and don’t forget that there’s northern and southern hemisphere DST to contend with. I’m amazed that SMF gets close to getting it right!
