RE:Reply to post - feature switched off

[Morrus]

Brother Shatterstone and Aggemam, drop it right now, please. Take it to email if you must.

Morrus - perhaps we could retrict e-mail notices to once or twice a day, and not on a constant basis? That seems like it might be a good compromise.

Needing to get your email updates every 5 minutes probably isn't very healthy anyway.

PS - Just in case this gets your attention, I used to have the screen name "Irda Ranger", but I had was never able to log on after new years and had to make a new account. The emails I sent went unanswered (which I can understand), but if you can figure out what's wrong or help me re-log on I would appreciate it.

That sounds like a good plan to me. Pick a time of the day when the server isn't too busy, have it go through and see what threads have been posted to, and send out notices to those subscribed to those threads. Might as well collect all the updates in one e-mail per subscriber while you're at it (instead of one e-mail saying "thread X has been updated" and another saying "thread Y has been updated", just one saying "These threads have been updated: thread X, and thread Y").

I don't know if that's technically doable, but it's a good idea anyway.

Here's a definite vote for putting them back on, as soon as possible. I depend on the updates for my board enjoyment, and to keep track fo threads i'm running, particularly ones in palces like rogue's gallery where there's fairly low traffic.

Also wondering if Morrus sent otu an email about it, and if so why I didn't get it?!!?

My original quote in my first post contains the email I got also this was from the same email address that delivers the thread subscription notices.

 

[Morrus]

It was sent out to everyone. If you didn't get it, I have no idea why!

 

[Mac Callum]

Does the email feature have to be system wide, or can be set by forum? Some forums (such as PbP) need this feature more than others, I would think.

Me, I only use daily or weekly updates. Rather than one mail per post, it's one mail per day or per week (assuming, of course, there were any post).

And these are not disabled, (unless I'm somehow priviledged, I haven't got a mail telling me it's disabled; but I still got my daily PBP and weekly Sep's SH) so you should try that instead.

I didn't get it either, I knew about it though.

I just figured out that it disables the report a post bit too...

Oops, yeah I forgot to tell that when I found it the other day...

And I think I might convert my subscriptions over to ICQ so when, if, this experiment ends if someone could make a note of it here I would be a happy man.
