Email subscription are pretty much all or nothing. Either the email server is down when you post or it isn't. This doesn't happen often, but it does mean that either everyone receives your posts or no one.

If it's scattered like that, it's not happening on this end.

At this point, I'd recommend keeping a very close eye on your spam folder, and also try to get in touch with Google.

[email redacted] and [email redacted] fall into the category of receiving only random posts (one out of four). [email redacted] received the 3rd post out of 4 and [email redacted] received the 2nd out of 4.

[email redacted] and [email redacted] only followed my blog before my most recent post yet received nothing. They both check their spam and settings etc but to no avail.

But also keep in mind in some cases a new post came through and at other times it didn't to the same email.

And I can speak with absolute certainty about my email - I received only one post out of four.

As for your account, since you have a registered account, please see http://wordpress.com/#!/read/subsettings/ and make sure that "Block all email updates from blogs you’re following on WordPress.com " is not checked.

I have asked these people personally and told them to tell me the second something comes through. On the other hand, I also follow my blog http://discerningkate.wordpress.com/ with misskatej@gmail and I only ever received one email from a new post, again only 1 out of 4 some weeks ago.

Thank you for looking into this.

Would you please post here the email addresses who have confirmed with you that they are not receiving the updates, including your own if applicable?

Please, only post confirmed email addresses, as we are trying to identify a pattern.

If you post the email address in the standard format, I'll be able to see it, and it will be hidden from everyone else.

Unfortunately, when I scroll down in the "users" section, the only options are username, email, website and new password. There is no primary blog option. There is a primary blog option farther up the page on the section, but this is my only blog, and that is the only option it offers. I wonder if I need to change my username to match my blog name?

Also looked in the reader; some of the blogs I follow do not show up in the reader, either, and old blogs I long-ago un-followed, are in my reader with new postings.

Staff are monitoring the thread I will link to and helping those with Reader issues on Topics page issues in it. Here's the link > http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/why-has-wp-destroyed-my-hit-count-with-the-topics-reader?replies=120

You will also want to provide a link to your blog as it's not linked to your username. Here’s how to link your username to your blog in your blog Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Primary Blog‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog and then save changes. Thereafter every time you sign into the forum we can all click on your username and your blog will be linked to it. And every time you leave a comment on a blog your username can be likewise clicked and your blog can be instantly located.
