Yeah.  Couple from work, so don't take totally trust it.
Can you try that again?

I don't know if it counts as server shit, but I didn't get a couple notification emails (not in SPAM either). That includes your reply to this thread.

I haven't changed the forums at all so I don't know why that would happen. When was the last one you got?

I've been getting most of them. Got the one from this post. There was just a couple where I was surprised to see a reply when I browsed over to here.

I'm not worried, but if it starts happening regularly I'll try to keep a closer eye.

That happens to me randomly and has for years. I blame SMF.

Oh and it happens on other servers too. Not just this one

Never really happened to me on other SMF forums I've participated in, and has only happened here a couple times (often an issue on my side). No biggie, but not common.

So I've been having weird issues with emails from this forum for awhile. Mostly I don't get notifications or they come way late (today I got an email notification about a post Micah made on Halloween).

Funny thing was that I searched the forums to see if we'd had this discussion before. I thought I remembered maybe the problem was related to your servers, ober, and that it might affect your other sites. I figured if it only affected us (or me) I'd leave it alone but if it could affect your other clients I was going to say something.

I found about 6 threads talking about email notification issues, including this one. Nearly every single one of them was me bitching about it by myself. So feel free to ignore this, I just wanted to add one more. ;)

Well... interesting that you mention it.  I'm not sure why what I did would have kicked out some notifications, but I changed the primary domain on my server this morning.  It was whproductions.com and it is now windyhillwebs.com.  I am letting my old domain expire (whproductions.com).  I'm not sure if any of that would have 'shook loose' some old notifications or what that may have been.  I actually wasn't expecting any changes for this site. 

If you notice anything else weird, please let me know.

Doesn't seem like it was the domain change. I got an email this past Thursday for a reply you made to a thread on 30-Oct.

Could be gmail since it always tells me "This message may not have been sent by: <your gmail email>". Dunno.

I'll post a bunch here and then we'll shake out any issues with the new domain. ;)

That's weird.  I don't expect any other issues with the domain change.

I guess this begs a larger question.  I've been ignoring updates to SMF.  It works, we don't do a lot on here, and no one is screaming for new features.  I guess the lingering question I've had for a while is... what does this site look like for you guys long term?  Do we switch to different/newer software?  Should I just bite the bullet and upgrade SMF?  Should we consider moving to a completely different platform altogether? 

In reality, there are really only about 10 of us that chime in on things with any regularity.  I like coming here and I like seeking input from you guys... just not sure how the rest of you are feeling?

EDIT: I'm going to start a new thread about this.

Speaking of server shit.  Need any funding from us?

Nah, not right now, but thanks for the offer.
