Home Page Mostly Missing; No Email Notifications


To Sanjay & the Admins:

For the last couple of days, the content of the ABX home page has been missing, with only some boilerplate showing.

Also, for the last several weeks, automated email notifications of responses to subscribed threads, and also email notifications of private messages, have not been issued.

Can you let us know what is happening and what to expect with regard to these problems?

Thanks!
-- Al

Re: Home Page Mostly Missing; No Email Notifications

I guess I should've started a new thread

Please Keep Us Better Informed About Site Status


I haven't noticed any issues with the email notifications. I seem to be getting them fine.

Heck, part of the ABxZone community feeling was discussing any possible changes to the front page whenever it happened. Remember all the design and idea contests?

I agree with traveler, the members had more input in previous years and thats a big part of what made this place special.

Buds!

Re: Home Page Mostly Missing; No Email Notifications

IT beats me and I am tired of complaining over on the other thread. Sanjay doesn't care and wants us to know it.

That's all I can get out of this. Maybe he's thinking build a better website and they will come. Where's the front page of the better faster web site and server??

We have no say we just provide the info so he makes the money ( he hopes).

Well I am done.

A lot of people take their vacations right about now. And as a result, at many businesses those who are working are overloaded and required to do things that they don't normally do. Along the lines of what kONGO said in the other thread, I wouldn't read much more into all of this than the fact that administration of the site is not being accomplished as well as it should be.
