I use to receive emails for subscribed threads which is any which I have posted in or started myself but recently I haven't received any in a months or so even though I have the instant notification box ticked in my user CP.

I finally had to cry uncle and turn off my notifications for threads, but until recently I was still getting my pm notifications, which seems to have stopped now.

You know, maybe some spam-settings changed in my email-account, and prevented notifications coming. But if other people have the same problem, then I guess this hasn't been my fault.
 
So there is nothing that can be done in my case?

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
