What Happened to Saved Topics & Forums?, And Subscriptions to Help Fund 914world Options

[Tom_T]

Has the system &/or server hiccuped or something to clear out anyone else's saved topics & forums for email notices?

I got on the site today & went to look for a previously saved topic posting, but everything was gone & all notifications were empty.

Is this a server problem, housecleaning of everyone's files, or something else?

Also while looking around on there, I found a 914world subscriptions to help fund the site that I've never noticed before & perhaps missed a post about seeking help when too busy to go on here.

I did mine, & encourage you all to go to your own "My Controls" section, go down to the bottom left of the screen's menu sidebar, at:
Options - . Purchase Paid Subscriptions

.... & chip in to help Sir Andy to fund the ongoing operations of this great forum.

Andy has been doing effort this out-of-pocket for years himself gratis, but when chatting with him yesterday at the WCR Lunch, he mentioned his new house & working on it cutting into his 914 & AX fun.

So I'm sure that he can do with all of us helping to keep this Forum up & running! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

@Tom_T
This particular case falls under "operator error".

Your email (the one you are using here on 914world) is bouncing. Meaning, your email, provider is not accepting any emails sent to you.

Since you had subscribed to so many forums and threads, i was getting hammered with returned emails and error emails from your provider.

So i went and cleaned out your email subscriptions to stop the flood ...

Okay Andy. Sorry that happened, but I don't know why.

That was my first thought since it had happened before when my mailbox was full, but I checked it & has consistently then & now been at +/- 50 MB open space unused.

Also, the world emails are coming through okay now, so it's not something on my spam filtering, which is always been by domain name - & 914world was never on my blocked sender list.

So maybe it's something that Earthlink is doing with their internal spam filtering protocols, as there have been other known problems with legit senders not getting their emails thru. You being in IT will know more about that than me.

Thanx for clarifying, & nice to meet you guys at the WCR lunch on Saturday, & put a face to the name.
