not getting email notification of replys

Hi, I am not getting email notification of replys on this forum even though I have checked the four items below and everything looks good. I am wondering what else I might have missed or if others are having a similar problem. I am going to watch carefully for a replay to this to see if the problem continues as it has.
1/ In "Profile", "Edit Account Settings", "E-mail Address:" the email address is set correctly.
2/ In "Edit posting defaults" the item "Notify me upon replies by default:" is set to Yes.
3/ When I create a replay on a thread, at the bottom the "Notify me when a reply is posted" is checked.
4/ The email is not being hidden from me in Gmail's social or ads categories.
Thanks,
John

Did you also check Gmail's spam folder? Did this reply trigger an email?

Thanks Celeuran, It was in the Gmail spam folder. I am fairly new to Gmail. I was thinking that the promotions tab was the spam folder and did not think to look farther. I actually prefer the new outlook hot mail. I switched to gmail because I am switching service providers to drop costs and only now do I realize outlook hotmail is better (at least for me).

I did a google search and will use the link I found to learn to make sure this forum's emails don't go there.
