Email + Hack Update Prob

[loonytune15]

g'day all,

I was just wondering if i am the only one experiencing email probs in regards to when hacks are updated.

I just noticed that Paul M has updated a number of his hacks that I have marked as installed, but have received no email notification of the fact.

Is there a problem with this service or does it no longer work.

Thanks.

Not every author will send an update email for every update they make. It is often only done on a big update, or if there is a security patch.

oh ok, i thought it was an automatic thing when the author updates, the email is sent.

Well you learn something new every day :)

[Paul M]

Nope, it's manual.

I generally only send updates if the changes are important, otherwise I would be flooding many members with e-mails.

Is there a way to stop getting email updates of new updates of the hacks, as it gets very annoying.

[Paul M]

Not at the moment.

smsmasters could click 'uninstalled' to stop receiving updates, hm?

[Paul M]

You could, but that's not recommended.

Alternatively, you could just read them (to make sure they are not important updates about security) and then delete them. :)

In the near future there will be a few extra options available via the usercp - one will allow you to opt out of regular update e-mails (unless staff send them), another will allow you to opt into a weekly e-mail that will list new releases for the last week as well as any mods you have installed that have been updated in the last week.

There will also be a setting to opt out of a reminder PM that will be sent a few days after you download a new modification (i.e. a mod you have downloaded but never marked as installed). The PM will basically be a once only reminder to click install if you are using the mod.

Yeah, that's what I do. It was just an idea, since he finds them "annoying.":rolleyes: I appreciate the e-mails...:)
