Some feedback on the e-mail system:
I just got a Topic Reply Notification e-mail today; it's the first one in a long, long time. Something has been changed or fixed possibly.
The strange thing is it went to my AOL account, even though my profile lists my gmail account. But note that the e-mail address change on my profile was done only a couple of months ago as a test to see if AOL was blocking mails and maybe gmail would let them through. It may be possible that I "registered" for the thread's notification before this change, while I was still listing the AOL address on my profile. Maybe the Topic Notification system uses the e-mail address that was in place at the time of the notification request and not at the actual thread update and resulting e-mail generation.
Either way, it seems AOL is
not categorically treating as spam all mail from
forum@summitpost.org, in case that was wondered.
But I do not know how many threads for which I am registered, so I do not know if any e-mails were blocked. I just know that I received one.
