    I've just had another clump come thru, i'm guessing there's so many thread updates ie email notifications going out on any given day, that it's going to take a little while for them all to get thru :)

    Sorry about the delays in thread update notifications. Sent out the newsletter today. Nowadays the newsletter is sent from all the backend servers instead of just one (to get it pushed out quicker) it causes delays in other mail delivery as well.

    The backends were not doing too good a job at emptying the email spool. I've tweaked them quite a bit, and the sending should be significantly more snappy in the future. After tweaking it took the servers less than 30 minutes to process the amount of mail that had taken them almost 10 hours by then.

    Please do let me know (via this thread) if similar problems arise next week as well. We'll probably send the newsletter out again on Thursday or Friday.

    I don't know if others haven't been getting e-mail notifications but I haven't been getting them as of yet today. Just wanted to post the issue in case it is effecting others besides me.

    Have just looked at my notifications for today, all seem to match up to the list in my account page.

    I just got the e-mail notification for your above reply and 1 from another thread but there have been like 10 others that I never got notified. So hopefully whatever it was has worked itself out.

    I've gotten all of mine today. A few were about 30 minutes after the update was posted here, but most were within a couple minutes.

    The past reply notifications are finally coming in however it took 4 to 5 hours to receive them. But now new notifications are being sent pretty much right away now.

    At times email servers (especially Yahoo, Hotmail and AOL) defer connections when they are under heavy load, or just think that we are sending too many emails their way. For example.

    For instance one notification to larrylje had to be retried 5 times before it went through.

    I've adjusted the queue run times a bit on our servers, so delivery is tried more often. That might speed up delivery in some cases.

    Thanks for looking into it. So far everything seems to be working fine now. I will keep the above information in mind next time notifications seem to stop sending.

    Quick question. For a few hours tonight, I was unable to post in the forums anywhere. I tried to post from my mobile and my desktop, and up till about 20 minutes ago, nothing posted.

    I tried to reply to 2 postings, the screen came up that it was processing the post, and nothing else for about 10 minutes. I closed the windows, left aD, and came back about 30 minutes later, and noticed both my messages were posted.

    Was this a problem with the servers, here in the us, or something else.

    Oh, when I was on my mobile, I used the regular browser (ip thru t-mobile usa) and opera mini (ip thru finland) and I couldnt post at all.

    Probably just a server hiccup...I had the same timeout problems earlier tonight myself, but it seems to have straightened itself out.

    I had the similar problems for well over an hour, and noticed no new posts at all in that time, last night UK time. In fact according to my inbox, no new emails since around 8:30pm thru 5:36am this morning

    Servers have been taking some beating, as always when the holiday season is approaching. We've tweaked couple of things here and there and hope that they'll make the difference, but we'll know that in couple of hours time, when the peak comes.
