HGG Community Forums

I get the newsletters just fine, and I used to get email notifications about forum activity, but for a few months now I never get an email, just an alert bubble on the game site. I've checked my spam and trash folders and done a search. I've checked my forum preferences and the email notifications are checked. Is is there something else I can do? Or is this just my email provider (gmail) blocking them? Ordinarily it isn't a big deal, but sometimes I get a notification in the game about a mention but the post has been deleted. I'd like to at least be able to read the email to see what it was about.
