Umm... subscribed threads go buh-bye?

[kirinke]

whew. i thought it was something i did....
heheh. not so bad for me.
all of my games i put on my favorite's list for quick reference.
but still annoying. i have to look up my giant chicken thread again. gah

Well, >BLEEP<!! Do you have any concept of the number of threads I hav- *had* subscribed to?!

I don't know but I use to edit mine down when I had 200* or 300*...

* Morrus, don't hate me... At the least 80% of them where dead.

Hmm, just noticed this "Eep!"-inducing glitch myself. As has been said though, better that dying than something vital. As I only used it to keep track of nifty threads (never used e-mail notification) I think I'll ease what small burden mine may have caused on the server and just track them via a Word doc full of hyperlinks. No server space and I'll always have a copy should this happen again.

Morrus - suggest you change the default to "no e-mail notification", which will drastically cut down on pointless e-mail sends.

That's an excellent idea. I know I prefer NOT to get the email notification. I'm used to it this way. So it would greatly reduce the number of emails if people have to specifically request them.

There is possible a sunny side to it, though -- with these all deleted, switching on email notification again might actually be feasible.

Any chance that the system could automatically remove subscriptions to threads that are more than X days without a reply?
Would that even help?

p.s. yeah, mine are gone too.

I still can't resubscribe to my threads! i mean i post they show up in the forum, but they don't show up in subscriptions! Could a mod please look at my account and see what's wrong.

 

[kirinke]

okies... just see if this works...

I showed kirinke over AIM how to change the default setting on subscriptions to on, subscription no email, so this issue is has been resolved.

Ditto. I always put it to no e-mail, because I don't want to get spammed. Setting it as a default would make things easier for me.

Well, ok I'm lazy too.
