I noticed for the last month or so that my deal alerts are no longer being sent. At first I thought maybe my Gmail account was filtering them or something but I have checked my settings and watched my spam box and they are not showing up there.
I looked at my Slickdeals.net account settings and they looked OK. I just wondered if someone could take a look at my account and/or give me any suggestions.
I only have a couple of deal alerts and right now they are fire arm related. I know for sure that there have been a couple of items that should have set them off that I have noticed in the right hand side bar area on the front page that never sent a deal alert to my inbox. Thanks in advance for the help. :D
Can you give me the exact text and options for your DA? Possibly a screenshot?
Also, are you just not receiving the ones you think you should receive, or are you not receiving any?

I attached a screenshot of the deal alerts as they are are entered in my account.
I have not gotten any deal alerts since before Christmas. I signed up for the give aways the site was having around Christmas time and once I deleted the deal alerts that I was getting from signing up for those give aways it seemed like the deal alerts stopped all together.
I used to get frequent deal alerts from the AR-15 deal alert. I have seen a dozen or so deals that should have set it off. There is a deal for a DPMS AR that is a hot topic right now and I got nothing. I have not gotten one deal alert since the first of the year.
Thanks for your help!
The space and minus sign in the second one is messing things up try ar15|"ar-1 5"|9mm|223|firearm|ffl|magpul|pmag|cproducts|"c-products"
The first DA has only had 3 threads since x-mas.
Here's a hint if you want to see if a DA syntax will give you your desired results, on the forum search in the top bar, click the down arrow, select "Search in First Post Only" and type the DA text. If the threads that show up are the correct ones, then it's good to go.

Ok. I will try changing it. It seems like I have noticed more than three but either way I never got those three.
Create an instant DA for http and wait 5 minutes. If you haven't received any DA's, then the emails are disappearing somewhere.

Ok. I will try that. Thanks for the advice.
