Any Idea when this will be fixed?


They seem to be working for me .... I'm certainly getting notifications of PMs.

I'm having the same issue as Phillip - get notified of pm's but that's it ....
also, I think it may be only me, but this weeks POTW is showing up with Theo's picture on the portal, but when I click on the link, I got to Dan's POTW last week .... I've cleared the cache, checked my settings, but I'm still getting re-directed .... not sure what I've done :?

I have a feeling that there is no way to tell the forum that you want a notification on new posts. There's nothing in the Options when you post. I think all you can do is bookmark, which has them show up in your control panel.

I also see the same issue with the POTW. I suspect the link is wrong.

Thanx; it was. Now fixed.

But I don't think it was the same issue. I've changed how the bargains, potw and calendar blocks render, so that they're way less intensive on the server. But that means that how we (the mods) post them has also changed. It'll take a couple of weeks for the changes to be learned. :)

And... after you post with that option selected, there's an "Unsubscribe from this topic" link at the bottom of the thread.

No, they weren't.

The new look may take some getting used to, but the speed means at last I can access the forum. I am happy :D
