I haven’t gotten any email notifications since June 8th and there has definitely been posts in the forum on threads I’m subscribed to. The newsletter arrives fine but forum notifications or mentions do not come through.

And as is tradition in bug reporting: as soon as I file a complaint things start working again. Let’s see how this fares 🙂

Oh but now notifications don’t show the username from the forum but the real name.

Example: @orinoco commented on my BT project but in the notification mail it said:

Da* *rt posted a new comment for the discussion your following on

That is odd. The seems only to apply to notifications via project system. The notification about @collins reply here said:

Yeah my notification for this said ‘sundancer mentioned you…’ rather than ‘Tim mentioned you…’

post on one of my projects and I’ll reply with how it says in the email

the post you put up sent a notification saying ‘sundancer posted…’

dumb question, in your account details do you have your ‘real name’ as sundancer too?

Thought as much.

Actually yes. And I really can’t remember if it said “real name” when I signed up or not.

Are you Sundancer because of the native america tradition?

According to wikipedia… (but I also saw it a comic years ago)
“Typically, the Sun Dance is a grueling ordeal for the dancers, a physical and spiritual test that they offer in sacrifice for their people. According to the Oklahoma Historical Society, young men dance around a pole to which they are fastened by “rawhide thongs pegged through the skin of their chests.”

No. Much longer and more boring story. Came from the very early days of IRC. Stuck with it. SunDancer (capital D) almost everywhere… or SunDancerGE if the prior is taken.

I seem to be having a similar problem with subscriptions to things like XLBS not sending me comments after I subscribe to follow up comments or replies.

AFAIK you can only subscribe to forum topics. Comments don’t really do anything unless someone mentions you. But I might be wrong on this. At least there is no “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” button beneath the XLBS
