    What happened to subscription notices??

     



    I've subscribed to many, many threads cause I like to keep up with what you guys are doing on your projects but lately I haven't been getting any notices in my inbox.

    Is it just me?

    I don't think it's just you R2.. Seems a few folks have been complaining about the same topic lately.

    Exactly the same for me.

    Could this be a part of the reason many newbies don't come back?
    They don't realise they've been replied to, and then can't find their own initial thread?

    Bill mentioned some time back that he's working several days each week with his wife getting a family estate settled, in addition to trying to figure out his next career step. He's a busy guy, and access to the forum is via smart phone which is OK for looking at stuff, but not so much fun for trying to "do things" that need attention. Still he's been on top of things, but quietly in the background but not visible lately.
    Not sure about Brent, other than he's got his "day job" that puts food on the table in addition to several forums he works. It gets frustrating for us folks that are on here a lot, and I agree new folks might not take time to learn the work arounds to find stuff, like your own thread after a couple of days..... If you're away for a week or two it's all but impossible to know what you've missed....it's buried in archives, and no way to search simply by date.

    I understand that Bill is busy and that Brent is as said above. But I've had my trials and tribulations with family and jobs as well, like probably near 100% of the rest of the folks here over 40-50 years old. It never halted the rest of my life. Unfortunately the fact is that they have created a mess from a very good social media that had the attention and support of literally thousands of interested parties. Maybe it's time for Bill to step back and relinquish his mod status (or should I say operator status) and maybe it's time for Brent to consider the sale of these assets to someone who really cares about maintaining this formerly interesting forum. Making excuses, a single operating moderator and a disinterested owner really doesn't solve the problems that have existed since before the 'big change' 18-24 months ago. At this point, I'm considering this a dying forum. Yeah, I'll probably, out of habit still check in occasionally, but really don't see any positive upward changes happening, so again, and as before will limit myself to an occasional post - that is unless I get banned for this post for stating the obvious.

    So, from this we should determine that it's far better to complain about CHR then to actually participate in a positive manner????

    Some of us will probably stay here, doubt there is such a thing as a perfect forum or a perfect world!!!!!!

    I can't speak for anyone else, but any time I've had a problem I've sent a PM to the guy I thought could maybe address it. I agree that there are some features on here that I'd like to see "fixed", but "fix'n" is not always so easy to do when working within a commercial platform. I'm just thankful that we continue to have some folks on here who enjoy doing the work, take time to post what they're doing occasionally, and who know a whole lot more than me about a whole bunch of things, 'cause I often need lots of help!!

    Fixing can be handled just fine - then there is neglect

    Well, I'm not a computer guru and have little knowledge of what it really takes to keep a site like this up and running but I do know that as a participant, it can be pretty frustrating when things don't work properly.

    I do know that since joining in '07 (Egad, has it been that long??) I've met (online at least...) some really great people and learned a ton, so the thought of it going "downhill" is really kinda depressing!

    Here's hoping the "powers that be" read these posts and fix the problems!!

    Now, along with not getting notifications, the threads with new posts are no longer appearing in "Bold"......

    I hope they fix it or come up with a way to fix it. I really appreciate all the info and help that is provided on this site. There isn't bickering about what is traditional and everyone seems to have a great time helping each other. That's the way I've understood this hobby to be.

    Surprise, surprise!! I got a couple of notices today! I'm guessing there should have been more but, hey, it's an improvement!!
