Email Notifications, Editing Posts

Email notifications haven't been working for me for the last few days. Usually when I'm subscribed to a thread I get instant notifications, haven't gotten anything in the last few days. Maybe the mail server is down or something. Or was this disabled? I really like this feature on all forums because it helps to keep track of responses to topics I post in or am very interested in.

I wish we could edit our own posts after the couple of minutes window we're given. This probably won't happen because I do know a lot of people abuse this feature, but it's more of a wish than anything else. I'm pretty anal when it comes to spelling and things like that but I always seem to find a typo or a word used incorrectly in my posts and it drives me crazy that I can't fix it. An example is on one of my posts I meant to write "me" and I wrote "be" and now I can't change it. Oh well this one isn't that important but would be nice.
