Repeated items not repeating

buduspam says:
Unless I make a special trip to the RTM website to mark tasks "completed", I do not get future repeats. Whereas I delete the email from my inbox when I complete the task and get on with my life. I use RTM email because I like to have just one inbox - having to remember to visit another one and delete stuff misses the point.

Is there a setting somewhere that will mark all overdue tasks as completed without me making a special visit?

Hi buduspam,
It's not possible to auto-complete tasks, and Remember The Milk doesn't continue sending reminders for overdue tasks.

Thanks for your feedback that you'd prefer to continue receiving reminders!

I don't want reminders for overdue tasks. But unless I mark it complete, it doesn't repeat. Eg I have a task to do every Monday. Unless I mark it complete on Monday #1, I won't get the new reminder on Monday #2.

It used to be ok. But since some point in the last year or 2, repeats no longer occur unless I mark the original complete.

Thanks for getting back to us with this information.

You may want to make sure the repeat is set to "every Monday"/"every week" and not "after Monday"/"after 1 week". "After" repeats only generate the next task when you complete the current one.

If that's not what you're seeing it'd be great if you could contact us so we could get some more specifics about what you're seeing. Thanks!

They all say "every week" or "every month" in the repeats line. I will try the contact us link.

I have the same problem, it used to work just fine. I created a support ticket for it and recently just sent them some screenshots.
