I’m not declaring it officially ready yet. There are still some kinks to work out in my sorry excuse for “code”, and additionally the sudden surge of outgoing messages has triggered our hosting provider’s automated outgoing mail threshold (which is normally a good thing since it usually happens when people’s servers get compromised). So I’m waiting for them to reply to my request to manually raise the limit.

So now you have a good excuse to have that cold one. ;) :)

Hopefully soon. There is finally a dark tunnel at the end of the light.

Now getting emails to subscribed thread new posts, tried to change and got error message, probably something you are working on.

We where also getting them even though that option was disabled. Hoping that’s fixed too

Sorry, what exactly did you try to change that didn’t work?

I think the option to disable mail notifications should work now. But please note that the old option no longer exists, and you will have to disable it again if you don’t want to receive any email notifications for subscribed threads…

[southland]

Went back to see exactly what I did. Account, edit, subscriptions, checked do not send email notifications. While I was there I tried again and it worked without the error message. Think it’s now fixed, thanks SB.

Sweet, thanks a lot for letting me know.

I have a request, if it’s possible. After passing the first page of search results, if you read a thread and hit the back button, it takes you back to the 1st page of search results, no matter what page of results your on.

There’s always the option of opening in a new tab, if you don’t want the state of the first tab disturbed.

I probably never would have noticed the issue you described, since I’ve long been in the habit of using new tabs instead of expecting ‘back’ to produce the same state as a page was in before. The web hasn’t had reliable ‘back’ behavior since functional javascript got popular and produced “Web 2.0”.

Thanks TK,
Never thought of that option.

I got worried when I saw 64 new messages in just a few hours. I thought the thread had been attacked by a drama llama.

NOPE! Chuck Testa.

You should have been worried that the ramping firmware you developed had gone AI and emailed you once for each mode.

I would have thought it was Bistro but as soon as he went live he hotwired a BMW and headed for the nearest Starbucks.

Here is sb performing a test
What he does would make most of us stressed
But he works with a smile
In good cheer all the while
Making BudgetLightForum the best

We all wonder , just when does he rest ?
Every problem is quickly addressed
Making changes each day
Nothing gets in his way
He is simply a man on a quest

We are having fun at his behest
All who visit here are soon impressed
It becomes very clear
That as soon as you’re here
You’ll be treated like a special guest

Nice!

[J-Dub74]

Well done SB. Don’t let that administrator guy take any credit for your work. You know how administrators can be…

Big +1. Sorry I almost missed this one during my heated arguments about the testing process with “administrator”.

I see the email system is working again, congrats! I’m sure that was a lot of work.

I’ve gotten used to not having them though…. and I kind of like the “peace and quiet”. I think I’m about to go on an “Unsubscribe spree”. :cowboy_hat_face:
