Some other tests I have done and still not working.. 

• I changed my email address on my Admin profile. That didn't work.
  I checked with a test account I already had and changed the email on that one, did not receive any email alerts for Comments.
  I also just posted a comment on a post of my to test and I do not see anything even generating into the sys_queue_email table.

I am at a total loss here. What could have changed in the Beta upgrade that would have caused me and at least 1 other member to stop receiving email alerts for JUST new posts and comments within the Timeline module???????
