Again, I don't know if I have just carlessly scanned over it, but is there stop all the emails from being sent to my email adress everytime I visit somthing on the forum, and from automatically being put on my "Watched Topics" list? I have been having this problem for quite awhile, finding about 5 or more messages from here about how I am now watching a certain forum page usually one I have visited more than once, and that I never specified to be watched. It is beginning to get very irritating I really don't want to be forced to block all messages coming from openscrolls.

OK, a few little points.

I'm sorry for the tone of this, but anyone who wants to shout publicly at "site admin" in the style you have gets this coming. If we've done something wrong and you have a personal gripe, please use e-mail. If you have a question, comment or criticism to make in the forum, do it without shouting or unnecessary accusations.

So, here's the answer.

1) In your profile, how about turning off "Notify when replies are received".

or

2) Each time you post, just untick the box saying "Notify me when a reply is posted", if you can't be bothered to uncheck the other one.

or

3) Go to your profile, check the "watched topics" and remove them. You only have yourself to blame that you are watching 32 topics.

finally

4) Please don't block e-mail - one bounced e-mail and we have a nasty little habit of suspending accounts. As a courtesy to all members, we like to keep things honest here and know that you can be contacted should the need arise.

openscrolls does not send out unsolicited e-mails. So please don't publicly acuse us of doing so.

Now, let's return to a bit of festive spirit, shall we?

Sorry about that, I didnt intend to have that effect on you. I didnt exactly know if anyof the Administration would respond so I thought making the post in capitals might draw al least one of you in. oh one more thing, for some reason I cannot enter you site any more. It reads: Forbidden You do not have permission to come onto this site. Oh and to explain how I can even post this when I cant get on I just had a friend post it, one that I trust of course.
Thanks,
Queen of the Shire
Ps. Sry for the mix up.

S'all right - so long as we're friends again. OK? We're pretty responsive here to questsions.

The site was down, I'll post a front-page news article apologising for why (to some people, the site will still be down...) but, in brief, in order to fix the avatar uploading problem, I had to make a low-level change to the way you access the server. It takes between 6 hours and several days for this change to filter through to hte end user; and there is nothing you can do to speed it up.

Would have been nice to have advance notice, I know, but I just bit the bullet and went for it, so to speak.

We're back again, and now we can work on stage two of getting avatars working again....
