I've stopped receiving email notifications suddenly. It was fine until yesterday. Is there something wrong?

Nothing's changed. What about your spam filters?

Tried disabling the spam filter as well - didn't work. Then changed the email address where I receive notifications as well. Nothing has worked so far.

Hitting the "Email" link to send myself an email didn't work either. Seriously though, I'm manually checking the replies to my posts on the programming forums and it is not exactly exciting.
I've Disabled all spam filters at all levels, changed email addresses, as I already said and nothing works. This has happened suddenly, and I don't know why.
Can you please click the "Allow email notifications for Rajesh" button? Seriously though, I find it incredibly difficult to participate on the C++ forums without being notified of replies to my post. If you can do nothing about it, I'll to cross my fingers and hope for the best.
[added] VOILA! I just noticed that the "Send me an e-mail if someone replies to this message" checkbox is DISABLED by default. I don't remember doing such a thing ever or saving this as my preference anywhere. I am having to enable it manually for every reply that I post. If you can please fix this, I'll buy you a pitcher when we meet. No, really. [/added]

After helping people in programming forums recently I have received emails directly from the OP, I assume from them clicking the EMail link on one of my replies. I don't know if other CPians suffer from this as well, but I object to it.
Obviously the EMail link is a useful thing to have, for many reasons, so I am not suggesting that it is dispensed with. Is it possible in these circumstances for the site to send an autogenerated message, something like "Will you accept an email from xxx", with three option buttons, No, Just this time and Always.
If this would take too much time, storage, bandwidth etc. please forget it. If it is possible I think it would be a good enhancement.

It's a lot of to-ing and fro-ing with emails and plumbing.
How about a more simple option:
[ ] Allow members to reply privately to this message via email

That would be a very nice feature Chris, specially if it's off by default (which seems to be what you have in mind).

This explains why you are a Multi-Millionaire recluse with a private volcano in the Caribbean, and I am living in poverty in Norf Lunden.
An excellent idea.

I know it is annoying to receive private email. I've received handful of them. Any private email I received gets automatically deleted and I don't even bother to answer it.
What drives me nuts is, when the OP sending private email asking for help or clarification. Well, How in the world is other people going to learn from that private email. Put it on the forum so either me or others will answer it, and also, others will learn from the experience. 
p.s. Chris's ides is excellent. Can't wait to see it.

What drive ME nuts is completely unrelated questions sent from a completely unrelated message in the forum for an completely unrelated article.

CP Team,
I just observed whilst posting the Voting Reason for this article (dotNET Assembly members browser[^]) that the Voting Reason itself appears as Article Comments.
I would suggest the reason should be only emailed to the CP Editorial Team unless and otherwise, the poster itself feels okay to share it as a comment on the article. You may put a checkpox in the rating reason form towards this cause.
I would suggest the following reason towards my stand: CP MVPs or other elite members (like Site Supports/Admin etc) might be finding historic reasons (from the past (mis)demeanour of the article author) of similar misuse/abuse by a particular member and may be submitting this as part of the report to the Editorial Team. Sharing this across to the author (or the world for that reason) would not be a recommended way, for security reasons.

The reason this was done is to control the drive-by 1-votes. I believe it has been very effective in doing this, and I would not like to see it changed.

You always have the choice of sending a private email to Chris et al. Going back to anonymous 1- and 2-votes would be a very bad thing.
[update] I did not vote your post 1, and I urge anyone who agrees or disagrees to state their reasons, so that at least this one forum will be free from anonymous voting.

Thank you for clarifying, Hans. But the only concern for raising this was the latter points.

I support your views. In fact, Chris & co. are aggressively working towards stopping the univoter menace and are bringing out a lot of measures towards that too.

My opinion is that posting a comment should be the only way to cast a vote (for articles anyway).
If you want to cast a vote, post a comment and include your vote.
Get rid of the other method, it's silly.

Like Hans said, most authors expect that when somebody low-votes an article, they leave a comment on "why" they do so. I think that their expectation is very much valid, given the hard work they put in to publish an article. This will keep the lame 1 votes at bay.
There were numerous discussions on this topic before this feature was implemented, any of which which I don't know if you participated in. Now, this topic has been retired permanently, forever, and now is beyond any shadow of reconsideration.

Whenever we modify our thread, I believe, till sometime back, CP used to insert a line near the sig indicating a timestamp right. Has something changed?
I needed to recently do a small amendment to one of my post http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1645&msg=3022834[^] whilst using the Strike tag in the newer version. The final thread never carried this timestamping.
Am I missing something?

The timestamp only appears if you modify the message at least 5 minutes after posting
