Hi Boone -

Thanks for the screen shot - I couldn't remember exactly what it had looked like. Seeing that led me to look at my screen options and I discovered that Group Blog was unchecked. This is a bit odd because I do not normally go to screen options and I definitely do not recall making any recent changes.

In any case, that does not explain why posts are not triggering notifications. The posts you cite are the "most recent posts" that I referred to in my original message.

Thanks for looking into this.

Thanks for confirming, Gina. On a second examination, I was partly incorrect in my analysis above. In fact, creating a new post with 'Send to group' unchecked will not prevent the creation of an activity item. Instead, it only suppresses the email notification.

You said that 'Group Blog' was unchecked in your Screen Options. Once you unchecked it, thus displaying the 'Group Blog' metabox, was 'Send to group' checked or unchecked?

"Send to group" was checked when the "Group Blog" metabox was displayed.

Thanks, Gina. Unfortunately, it's difficult for me to do any further diagnosis without actually publishing a new blog post. The next time you plan to publish an item, perhaps we could work together on it? You'd draft it, and then let me know a date/time when it's OK to publish. Then, I will set up a couple of tools to monitor the notification process, and I'll be the one to do the publication. Would you mind?

Thanks - will do! I will likely have something later this week.
