I actually don’t have the Nginx access log enabled, just the error log. And in any case Drupal can’t even see those logs, and instead keeps its own access log (normally as a table in the database, but can optionally use the syslog) which is retained for 2 days.
I can assure you that putting it as #1 on the todo list would have much easier said than done. O:-) It took me a good solid 20 hours almost non-stop to re-implement the notifications system, as it is custom designed and coded by yours truly. And let’s just say that it’s a good thing I don’t write code for a living, because I’m AWFUL at it! 
The most irritating part is that it was working flawlessly with the old site engine, but with this upgrade they went and broke most of the APIs and data structures I had come to know and hate from the old version.
In my personal case it’s actually much easier to lose track of something in my email inbox. Regardless of the status of the email notifications system, you might try using the My Subscriptions page a bit more to keep track of posts you don’t want to lose track of.
I’d be glad to if the majority prefers it that way. First I’m going to try to add it as an option, except that I’m running into a bug with the site engine that is preventing me from doing it in the easy and straightforward way I had planned.
Apparently we all surf the site differently. :)
Do we need a poll to determine what most people prefer?
Same here. My inbox is about to hit six digits…
I might actually turn off email notifications, since I mostly use the My Subscriptions page. Wonderful page, that.
G'Day SB, 
I suggest that while we are logged into the site, only 1 email notification per thread be sent. 
From memory, I believe you may have mentioned this feature/option already?.
As you mentioned, it is very annoying to get numerous email notifications per thread while logged in.
Best Regards,
George
I think that pretty much everyone who has an opinion already posted it here. So far it appears that most people want to receive notifications all the time, so I’ll revert it to the old behavior tomorrow unless I can figure out how to make it optional.
I forgot to say, thanks for all the effort in rejuvenating this place (mostly under the hood) to keep the pace with time and running smooth 
I am aware of “My Subscriptions” page, I just never got used to use it that much, it’s something like last resort when I can’t find some thread and I am sure I posted in it.
Pfft… I’ve been on six digits for YEARS in my inbox!
I don’t think polls would help poor SB here. He could make a change that 80% think is great then would quickly be notified that the other 20% are furious at the change and the dislikes tend to be much louder than the likes. You’re doing a great job SB! Thank you.
You can make a poll asking if a poll is justified
I think there should be a referendum to decide the number of options the poll should include. Any number may be nominated, however the highest number currently voted for will become number one on the list of potential options. The numbers after that will be shifted reverse chronologically to accommodate this. Each member may then go back and edit their post to reflect what number they actually voted for.

Update: 03-MAR-2016
- Added a user account option under “Subscriptions” for “Send me new post notifications by email even while I am logged on” to disable the 10 minute delay after last seen time before receiving new post notification emails. In other words, this option will restore the classic BLF email notifications behavior.
I already enabled this option for the three users in this thread that requested notifications all the time.
Okay now you’re just showing off. 
I want and option that makes the glowing tailcap of my X6 to blink once every 10 seconds when someone responds to one of my posts and a double blink each time a new PM comes in.
Thanks.
I’m sure Toykeeper could program that once you install wifi in your flashlight
I know it’s a joke but there are some very cheap small wifi modules that could fit in larger lights. Of course beyond the cool factor it doesn’t seem very useful. Plus there is the issue of battery life and I think the aluminum body of our lights might reduce the signal.
Halo and Bort,
As I was typing my message which was indeed originally intended as a joke aimed at SB, I started laughing because everything each of you said went through my head in the time between brain and screen.
I am certain that Toykeeper could (and probably will) make that happen from the programming end and yes, even now this “could” be a reality though Halo I think you are correct in saying that it is not practical beyond the “cool” factor at this time based on current hardware, at least within the “budget” category. It won’t take long though for the hardware to make my joke a reality to become available.
Anyone care to place a wager on whether or not this will happen in the next 5 years? I’m not a betting man, but I predict my joke will be in some of our BLF lights within the aforementioned timeframe… :face_with_monocle:
5 years is quite awhile. I’ll bet someone builds one within that time. You could seriously do one now. Don’t even need serious coding like ToyKeeper and others do. You could likely get by with some arduino level stuff. A SRK type light would probably be easiest since it has room and 4x18650s. And I think the cost would be more in time / effort than price. The extremely popular ESP8266 wifi modules start at like $2. All that’s stopping someone is the will to do it. :face_with_monocle:
There is that asgard bluetooth light, not sure if it can do this if modified but its probably could if you had a desire to go modding crazy.
