No Update notifications

[trackpads]

I am receiving other email from vb.org but I have not received any hack update emails. Is that a fluke?

Apologies if this has already been discussed.

You have to mark yourself as installed and set your options for mod updates (in the mod thread itself)

I have which is weird, I get the notifications from the thread subscription but not the individual update emails when the hack is updated.

[Speysider]

On the hack page, there's a link called "Edit Options" which allows you to set the options for notifications regarding hack updates. Check there.

ok, now I see it. Why in the heck isnt that a default anymore?

Why isnt what a default exactly ?

[trackpads]

Sorry, I mean when you mark a hack as installed, it should default to autonotify you of updates. I thought that was always the case in the past, I was gone last year so it may have changed on me.

No sweat,

The default is (and always has been) that you will receive updates manually sent by the coder (using the send updates option). Automatic updates are those sent whenever a modification file is updated (re-uploaded). You have to opt for them (they have only been available for about 3 years). Same goes for the option to receive them as PMs rather than e-mail.

ok, thanks, I havent received any update emails though. I will go through and change all the hacks that I have installed to this setting.

Thanks again,

Update e-mails for which mod ?

I get a copy of all (manual) update e-mails sent - so I can check if one was sent recently - there have been 22 so far in May.
