Although checking that box is required if you want to receive event reminders, there are other requirements as well; two in your control, and a couple of others that are not in your control. In your control:
- You have to be subscribed to the calendar that contains the events; that's fairly obvious and you probably also verified that.
- You also have to have that calendar configured to send notifications (that is done by clicking the >> at the top right of the calendar list). The default is to send notifications, so that's probably already set, but it's worth checking.
But the event creator also has to choose to send reminders. He or she can send a reminder at the time the event is created, or can set up the event to send reminders at a specified time before the event occurs. The event creator can choose not to send any reminders, in which case you won't get any reminders regardless of your other settings. And even if the event creator chooses to send reminders, they get to choose when they are sent. So the fact that you haven't yet received any reminders doesn't tell you anything about whether or not everything is correctly configured on your end.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.
