Phoenix-TheRealDeal Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Tim,I wrote you some weeks ago now about it but didn't get an answer. Maybe you didn't get my message. The 'problem' for me is that I don't get e-mail notifications in a form that I can just click on the URL cited as being a new topic or a reply to a thread in a forum that I have subscribed to.This circumstance has always been the case for this iterqation of the WFG forums, but didn't used to be the case for the 0ad forums where I spend most of my time. That started just some weeks ago.What it entails is that when I receive an e-mail notification, then I have to: => highlight the URL in the body of the message, => copy it to the clipboard, =>then in an active page, highlight whatever is in the address bar there, =>paste the clipboard stored URL into that address bar, =>and then hit GO.When I have a dozen or more e-mail notifications backedup that I am trying to get to to read and/or reply to (because I am subscribed to quite a few forums) this constitutes an inordinately large amount of time I am spending just trying to 'get around'. That's strange to me because otherwise we have great boards... and NO other boards that I visit nowadays that I am subscribed to do I have to do anything more than just simply click on the URL in the notification to gain direct access to the 'post' indicated.We are all busy, and I sort of 'shined it' before when it only applied to WFG forums cuz haven't been going there (though I used to go there often to welcome new 'members' to our forums) much, less so now that harder to get to, and I thought, oh, I'll hear something back sooner-or-later, and also thought, well, maybe it is only me and is something in my own comp that isn't 'right'. You know... but it's become a real pain in the nether region AND I've recently learned that someone else is experiencing the same problem(s).So, do ya reckon we could find a fix for that?

Wijitmaker Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hey, I thought I was the only one with this problem!Any forum notifications I recieve from the forums aren't html anymore. They are just plain ol text files with wierd html code in them. PM's the Crier - everything from the WFG or 0ad forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wijitmaker Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Cool thanks Tim! I think you fixed it. The PM notification I recieved from your PM had the correct html format and I could click the link!I was mistaken, there wasn't any html errors on the PMs I was looking at some other emails.[edit]That second one for example... it didn't have any in it so it was all just one big string in OE.Thanks Tim Edited for security Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Glad I could fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix-TheRealDeal Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 E-mail notification of PM and link in PM to this forum works for me, Tim.
