[07-MAR-2016] Current status of BLF upgrade process

Thanks TK,
Never thought of that option.

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

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

Nice!

Well done SB. Donā€™t let that administrator guy take any credit for your work. You know how administrators can beā€¦

Big +1. Sorry I almost missed this one during my heated arguments about the testing process with ā€œadministratorā€. :slight_smile:

:smiley:

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

Iā€™ve gotten used to not having them thoughā€¦. and I kind of like the ā€œpeace and quietā€. I think Iā€™m about to go on an ā€œUnsubscribe spreeā€. :cowboy_hat_face:

Subscriptions email shocker this morning, what a wonderful surprise, thank you for all your hard and must be frustrating workā€¦!

My pleasure, glad itā€™s working. And sorry if anybody got hit with a deluge of mails until I got the system working correctly.

LOL Me too. I forgot how quickly my inbox fills up. Now if only we could set it up to only send email notifications for threads we start or select to be notified for. Iā€™m picturing SB doing a face-palm right about now. Is there a cake in the area that I may posses and also ingest? O:-)

Ha! :slight_smile: Iā€™m not opposed to the idea, but I probably wonā€™t get it to very soon.

Ha Ha Ha thatā€™s the word I was trying to think of, Delugedā€¦ But really a smiling moment and great way to start the day,
Kronos thread alone I recall at last glance was something like 200+ since last going to the thread which was lesson learned, if you follow go follow more often so that count doesnā€™t get so high,
You really donā€™t realize just how many threads youā€™ve been watching or not consistently until you turn on your email one day and suddenly thereā€™s seemingly hundreds of notices.
Iā€™m with PD68 and others and going to be on a unsubscribe mission,
Thank you SB, This upgrade must be just maddening, But Iā€™m sure glad theirs people like you making life for people like me FUN ā€¦!!

That pretty much sums it up. :slight_smile: But everybody here has been very gracious and patient and appreciative, which makes it a lot easier and much more motivating to get things working.

Update: 02-MAR-2016
Iā€™m now testing another improvement to the email notification system so that it will only send notification emails to users that havenā€™t been active during the past 10 minutes. (I can easily adjust the time if needed. Note that ā€œactiveā€ is defined as clicking links or posting, not just having a browser tab open.) I hope this will drastically reduce the amount of notification emails for heavy users during the hours that they are active.

And also remember that the system only sends one email per user thread until the user returns (logged in) to re-visit the thread.

Thanks for your work sb, but for me this is not an improvement.

I would prefer to receive an email right when there is a new post in one of my subscribed threads.

OK, I can probably make this an option. Iā€™m going to leave it on by default until I have a bit more time to work on it.

Iā€™m getting e-mail notifications again! Hoo-yah! Gracias.

It do not sound very practical, that way I will always miss an answer if people post just after I have left the computer.

OMG, email notification works again, best news from blf in a long time, iā€™ve been like blind without this function :cowboy_hat_face:

ā€¦

+1
I usually have 2-3 BLF tabs open in my browser keeping them for later reading or as a reminder, it does look like I am online but I am actually doing something else not related to BLF, and my browser is running all the time (except when I sleep) which means I will miss like 60-70% of replies, hmmm 8-|

Edit:
Wait, what does the ā€œactiveā€ means? active like logged in / online or like scrolling pages, posting comments which means there are log files with informations on which pages I visited, which comments I read, what button and when I clickedā€¦ that is kinda disturbing.
