PUHOLINO:True, some parts of the emailing system have been problematic for some time now. In those cases it helps if the tourney organizer clicks on send reminder to play when he creates the tourney. But from my experience, there has never been a problem with gift notifications via email.
Excuse me and please take no offence, but I don't want workarounds, I want the system to work.
Of course you don't experience problems if the mails arrive in your mailbox. Here they do not arrive.
I haven't seen these tournament mails for quite a while,
I don't get no more stroke play challenges,
I didn't receive gift mails from the December giftings and so on.
These are only small curtailments to my comfort.
Most important is that I as a CC owner don't receive notifications about members of my CC, concerning new and leaving members. For this deficiency, there is no workaround available except extensive checks on the member list.
This alone is irritating, and to receive no answers from WGT is annoying.
I once said that customers are being ignored - this is another proof to it IMHO.
