spurious email notifications

Post by fusername »

So I got two email notifications saying there were posts in two threads I was watching, specifically in the engine rebuild forum, and when I hit the link in the email I get the page that says "No such posts exsists" or whatever it is. No big deal, i'll get there manually. When I navigate my way to the thread, My soul is crushed to discover there actually are no new posts in my threads. Not only does nobody love me, but the forum is mocking me for it!

Just thought I would pass this on, maybe its a real issue, maybe I am over thinking it. Just thought the heads up may be appreciated.
give a man a watch and he'll allways know what time it is. give him two and he can never be sure again.

Things are rarely just crazy enough to work, but they're frequently just crazy enough to fail hilariously.

BTW all seem to be signed from STF.net
Yeah some may call it overkill, but you can't have too much overkill.

Yes, vagary of the system at present. No need for concern.

hadn't thought of spam bots. Makes sense tho that they both came from the same forum. Thanks for keeping the spreadable meat at bay, I don't think I have ever actually seen a bot on here, so you guys are doing a good job!
