You mean we're risking being indebted to the long arm of Lauto for life?
Buuuut, I really think we're gonna win! Positive thinking, positive thinking! The dragon's down half already!

And if you can't beat her and you all die... I've got that possibility covered too.

Okay, now I'm thinking I really want to win.

Nothin' like a little motivation...

Eagerly waiting for next round!

It's not your computer CaBaNa, it's the site. Subscription notices aren't being sent out for some reason, it's being looked into.

Ok, that's good to hear. I was wondering why I wasn't getting notices but I've been too busy to look into it.

 

[stonegod]

Why don't people just check their User Control Panel regularly? Highlights all subscribed stuff.

 

[elecgraystone]

Why would I when the site offers a service to let me know? That's like saying why get a catalog when I can just visit the store and see everything.

Even when I'm busy, I check my e-mail. Not so with my gaming sites, well because I'm busy. So, with no notice, I end up checking here when I get around to it instead of coming here first because there might be replies needed. I don't spam the User Control Panel 'just in case'.

The issue, however, is that emailing hasn't every really worked (its been flakey since I joined four years ago). UCP is the only reliable way to check.

Too bad the RSS is only site based and not user-based. Now *that* would be useful.

 

[elecgraystone]

The e-mail has always worked for me, at least until a little bit ago. If UCP is the only reliable way to find post, that means I'll be on less and respond MUCH slower to posts. that's just the way it is.

As far as RSS, I've never found much use for them. They never seem to tell me what I want, just giving me EVERY new post. [site based]

Agreed. That's why it'd be beneficial if it was per-thread or per-user.
