Has Something Changed with the Email New Topic & New Post Forum Alerts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
.... or did I do something to change them? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Up until a few days ago they always showed a summary text only of the poster, post, title & the text - but not for the past few days. If it's a change, then IMHO Andy, the more info ones were more useful to cull out which ones I want/need to look at, but now I have to go to the site for each & every one. If the summary info can be restored - how do I change my settings, or can the Guru set them back to show summary info if it's a site-wide change? TIA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

I changed the notification and summary email format because people simply don't understand that the real messages are on 914world.
People constantly reply to the notification emails because they think the people mentioned in the email summary are actually sending them an email ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) So Andy, We that are NOT stuck-on-stupid, must suffer the consequences of those who are!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) If you could add a clarifying note & "DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL" in order to straighten those folks out - & then still have the summaries - that would be greatly appreciated. It would probably also cut down on a ton of random log-ons by everybody looking to see what the message is about. The way you had them before was actually the most efficient & intelligent way to do forum/topic notifications, just too bad that some folks didn't get it!

If you could add a clarifying note & "DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL" in order to straighten those folks out Already did that, shows how carefully *you* read those emails ...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) No I did read that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) - I meant to ADD a clarifying note to to that, to the effect of something like: "This is NOT an email from the member named below, you must click on the link & go to the actual Topic Post in order to answer the Poster." ... which is probably about what you told those who were answering the email notices!
