Does anyone know why this might not be working?

Thanks

Did you unsubscribe from emails from Tom's? You can check in your account settings. I would also check your spam/junk folder.

What I did do though is change my email address to another one I have and I got a welcome email and now the emails are working (if a little slow to arrive - 10 minute delay)

All Good.....

Emailed messages may not show up immediately. It depends on how busy the site is, whether any maintenance is going on, etc,to determine how quickly messages will be sent. Just passing that along for consideration.

Glad the issue was resolved for you, smipx013. :) 

As COLGeek mentioned, the emails aren't always instant.

I think the actual solution here was to change my email address and it seemed to kick it back into life (Just sharing that in case anyone else has the same problem)

I was just being impatient having to wait 10 minutes for the email. Only ever an issue when its not working and your testing like me.


Thanks everyone.
