Notifications?

IIRC there used to be this feature - a user used get email notifications (if they wanted).

IIRC some mod said here that the feature was (with current code, at least) too heavy for the server. Sometimes the feature caused the server to slow down so that it was not responding to other requests properly and/or the feature became unreliable. Don't remember which thread that was mentioned in.

So, they disabled for the time being, as it was doing more harm than it was worth.

Maybe some mod/maintainer can chime in to verify or refute what I've just said

Thanks. I'm currently using the "click on your name" trick.

Hi @ren, I think the email notification shouldn't pose a threat to the site performance if it's postponed and then batch processed. I wonder if the original code that was causing an issue was keeping the web server thread waiting for SMTP connections.

Perhaps I'm getting impatient, but in these past years every time I had a question or suggestion regarding the website, I've hardly seen any response from the team. What's with that? Seems like no one's home at times, or you're being ignored, don't care, don't know perhaps, whatever may be the reason. (Why should I care when the operators of this site don't seem to care?) (See e.g. my comments over here as well: msxorg-url-encoder#comment-381548.)

@hamlet: any reason you're not responding, you must have read/followed this topic? Can you enlighten us in regard to this update you're talking about?

Thanks Meits.
ren, I didn't followed this thread but you're welcome to contact me via pm next time.
