Another vbulletin forum I'm on had PM notifications get turned off sitewide by some fluke. Is there a delay for PM email notification that was recently turned on?

Thank you
Nope. Likely it's a delay in your email server.

Unfortunately, given that an email passes through umpteen levels of security/servers/websites between where it's generated and where it arrives at your eyes, email issues are extremely hard to diagnose. Good luck. If this starts happening to a lot of RCTechies, we'll know it's on this end.
