An Error Occurred
There was a problem opening this page. Please refresh the page and try again.
Whatever you were trying to do, it didn't work out the way you expected.
You could always return to the Home Page.


Wasn't this supposed to be fixed?

While we're on the subject, why do you send an email for every single new message? Wouldn't it make more sense to send one message/thread since your last visit (as most forums do)?

You mean today?

I turned it on yesterday for our avatar thread, and tried to turn it off today because I was overwhelmed with email messages, but alas, I had to set up a kill filter at Yahoo, because it wouldn't let me.

Just one more reason why I wish Stardock would use third party forum software, instead of reinventing a square wheel.

Well, it's nice to know there's been a message posted since you were last on, which a bookmark won't tell you. But you don't need your email box flooded with such notifications for a single thread.

The way it should be working is that it will send you an email only once since the last time you read the thread. 

As far as the error that you received.  I fixed some other errors with this page.  Not sure if I hit that exact error so let me know if you are still getting an error with the watch list page.

The Watch List seems to be working now.

I'll disable my kill filter and see if it's still sending me a ton of emails between visits.

Thanks, T-Man.

Im recieving multiple email notifications on a thread that has been hidden. The thread disappeared yesterday am..but I recieved notices in the afternoon...then 6 more last night. Yet, if i click on link..I am taken to a page with odd message string = 0 ...or something like that.

Also:

When I tried to delete a few Screen shots lately..I get error message each time.
I had actually deleted a screen shot on Saturday morning. Uploaded a new one in the afternoon. It wasnt posted until much later and it was uploaded to the site to the same position as the deleted SS..which put it on about page 5 at that point..although that wasnt any big deal..but the comments from previous SS were still there , and made little sense with new SS..

No..the thread itself has been removed or hidden. It doesnt even exist on my " watch list " anymore...yet....i keep getting notifications.

I tried viewing through WC browser. No difference on this . ..but your right at times I see things in a different order in the WC browser than on the site itself.

Just bumping this up to be sure Tman sees this...the email notifications have stopped but id like to delete some Screen shots when they get a chance to fix this bug. Not all that important but its been that way for awhile now.

You seem to have fixed the problem with multiple email notifications, T-Man. Well done!

Unfortunately, in some topics the notifications are sporatic, meaning there can be dozens of new messages and I don't get any notifications. And when I open the topic, it puts me on the first page, rather than where I left off, so I suspect that has something to do with it.

Using Opera 8.5 here.

Some threads I'm taken to the last place I viewed, but some just stay at the top of the thread.

This one doesn't take me back to where I was.

The Jafo birthday thread does take me to the last viewed.
