Note that if you had opted to have email notification enabled it has been reset. You'll have to re-enable this feature if you want it (it actually works now).
Well, one thing that has already happened is that I've moderated your comment as 'Insightful' and 'Funny' and given it a +5 score. We'll see this feature and its advantages develop more in the coming weeks.
You should be getting an email notification shortly that someone has replied to your initial post (i.e., me) so that you don't have to stay logged-in all the time. I think there should be an excerpt of this post in the email so you can see if it's worth your time to log in to read it/reply.
I just got off the phone with Andy the developer guy and more features are coming by July 1.
Now that you've signed-up I'm going to adjust your account settings to a higher level so that you'll be able to have more control over how things work. I still have to play with this to see how it goes.
Chris, I've modified your settings to be an editor and moderator. Please check if you see any differences in your interface. You may have to log out and in again.
Someplace in the settings there should be place to store an informative sig line that will be appended to everyone's mail and without which no mail gets posted.
Chris, can you explain further? Are you requesting .sig capability?
Andy's reading, I'm sure he can implement pretty much whatever you'd like, possibly even automated sandwich delivery if you set your preferences right.
One thing I find is that this text box's text while typing is too small and can't be increased. That's OK for younger guys like you but for me it causes eyestrain.
Just wait till I yell you about the big red button feature!
PS The IP adress logging thing is nice, dontcha think? Not even I can hide. The ability to post via email (for certain people) will be available soon..
Another suggestion. See if you can't avoid the long string of Re - Re - Re -… that keeps getting longer and longer with each reply. One Re - should be enough. Also make this text box bigger and make the font bigger. Sans serif font is great and it's easy to read, just not big enough
The IP tracking is pretty good, but I bet the hacking attempts are from China routed through a Singapore server.
I should add that rebuilding the subscriber list may have the added effects of removing at least some of the subscribers who use Internet cafes with cmoputers that may have been turned into spambot slave machines.
Are you requesting .sig capability?
Yes. The settings page should include a box for a mandatory 3 line sig file to include name and affiliation, and maybe something clever. No posts without it.
It'd also be nice if the reply button automatically quoted the selected portion of the message being replied to or the whole message text (without the boilerplate footers). If you don't have that most of the replies will be pretty much nonsense. A spell checker might be nice, too. Maybe some of the newbies would learn to post in English instead of that mindless SMS chat slang.
