I second the PM notification.

I turned my subscription emails off and I am still receiving them every few hours.

I am getting pm notifications really late also. A couple days after receiving the original pm.

i don't subscribe with email notifications, but i haven't gotten any accidentally either. figured i'd put in my :twocents: since others stated they received emails they hadn't asked for.

well, if this is related, I haven't been getting PM notifications for a while. But I did get a notification today at 4am, for a PM I received last wednesday. :eek:

I have a couple of threads set for daily notification, but I don't receive any.

It would appear that none of the notifications were lost, they are just backed up in the system, and coming out now, "catching up" if you will.

That would explain why some are getting them even after notification turned off, as it probably wasn't when those were queued up in the email server.

Hopefully AK can get some throughput on the server and everything will go back to normal.

:)

Thank you everyone for you input.

Josh, you will not believe what I'm going through. I haven't slept more than 4 hours in last two days trying to figure out this issue. I think what we are looking at is that I am going to have to move the site to a bigger server with no restrictions. This means SIGNIFICANT increase in price on my server fee. I want to offer the best to our members and vendors but I don't want our forum to go offline if I can't pay the monthly server fee. I'm doing tons of reseach and brainstorming. There should be a downtime tonight and followed by longer downtime next week when the whole migration happens. Looks like I'll be spending my New Years Eve/New Years Day/all next week infront of my computer :shakes head: ... :icon17:

So, You ARE getting the emails now?(at a slower rate?)

You know what, crank the vendor fees up.. say double and let them support you. We have a great hosting company that we use for our ecommerce site, as well as an inexpensive one for our blog, let me know if I can help, not sure what you're load is like, but I can vouch for years of amazing service.

Yes, I'm getting them, they are about 4-5 days back, and pop in here and there, I know it's the same for others in our building, imagining it's the same for all. They aren't gone, they are just backed up.

I'm serious about the vendor fees, let's all pull together and support you, and give this site the bandwidth and features it deserves..

no Im not receiving email

Josh, thank you so much for you kind words. We are going to do the move first. We will think about the money later.

I plan on increasing the money slightly as I don't want to scare people off. I think a very slight increase in premium member and vendor fee will be enough to compensate for the extra server fee. There will be a thread in future where I'll post the price and you guys will be able to discuss it. I will NEVER implement something that members are not comfortable with.

thanks

Sounds fair to me, AK.

:iagree:

If the subscription emails are the problem, why not put a cap on the number of subscribed threads? I subscribe to a lot of threads but I changed my default to "no notification" and just check the flagged threads in the User CP.

Hey Everyone,

I know you haven't been receiving emails last 11 days or so. I wanted to tackle email issue after the server move. But I actually found a setting that I can use which will send all the queued and current emails to you.

What I need to know is

a. Have you started receiving old subscription emails? You're going to start receiving emails starting from Last week of December (12/24/09) to today. Please let me know if you start to receive these emails or not.

If my calculations and settings are correct, it'll take 67 hours for ALL 32,700 queued email to go out. 67 hours = 2 days 19 hours.

thanks

AS for the Server update, there were some errors in the database of the transferred data. My server company is working on that. I DON'T have any way of expediting it. All I can do is wait and keep you guys updated when everything is ready.
