Email Notifications

[Snarky Oracle!]

Maybe it's better not to tell @Crimson that this whole email notification thing was nothing but a plotty scheme to bring him back.
As the old saying goes "discretion is everything".

Thank goodness he found his way back!!

I was rather hoping there was a nefarious plot behind my banishment, rather than just being a mundane system glitch.

I considered joining under a new name and waiting a few months before revealing my true identity in a dramatic plot twist.

I lost access to my account back in February. I tried occasionally to reset my password, but I would never receive the email notification. Glad to see the issue was resolved, as I was just able to reset my password after finally receiving an email.

Back in February when I manually sent a reset link through we weren't aware of the email issue (certainly not the full extent, anyway), and when you didn't reappear I feared it hadn't arrived.

It's been an incredible source of frustration knowing that there are possibly a number of members unable to access the site nor even to contact us (and vice versa).

Long story short, I can't begin to say how relieved I am to finally see you back.

Yeah nice to see them back.

Although I'm glad we got rid of @Via_The_Void!

At the time, I was still logged in on my phone but the manual reset kicked me out. It never occurred to me that this was more than a one-off glitch; I assumed I had registered under a different email that I couldn't remember. Sooner or later, I would have created a new account even if just to ask for help; but every time I thought about it, I got irked.

Is there a function to send a mass message to all registered emails, explaining the issue and that it's been fixed? Members who thought their accounts were lost may try to return.

We changed that option and now Miss Piggy is angry because nobody has emailed her. Poor little thing!

It's been fixed? I still haven't received anything to my email.

Good thought. Yes indeed - that could be done. There's also an option to filter it so we're only contacting members who haven't visited in a certain amount of time.

There are pros and cons to mass contacting members who've not visited in a long time, but the good might outweigh the bad here so I'll take this one to the team. Thanks.

Drat. I recall there was an issue with your account and Ome mentioning he'd dropped you a PM. I'm not sure how far you both got, but if you want to drop me a PM and let me know we can keep looking and make sure we have the correct email address, etc.

I did send you an email from my own account at the time you disappeared and when I didn’t hear from you I thought it was your choice to stay away. Anyway, I’m glad that wasn’t the case (deciding to stay away) and that you have managed to get back in.

Hmmm. Presumably overlooked in a sea of spam. Thanks for the effort.
