I've opened my email this morning to find 65 notification emails from the Alembic club.  Mostly from a long time ago. Has something gone wrong overnight? Anyone else seen these?

In my recollection ,i noticed that I ceased getting notifications for a while completely ,and now I am getting them again quite suddenly .

I got a couple too... I just assumed it was related to the weekend reboot.

I had one this morning for a reply from January. 

I haven't been here in quite awhile but had to return to ask the same question.  It seemed like the rate of notifications slowed down a lot for quite some time but I just received 35 email notifications since 12:03 AM today.  I'm trying to unsubscribe and that's not working either.  Must be a software change at Alembic?

Hey, good to see ya' again though, Dan!

My understanding is that the host server was down.  No idea what restarting it can impact.   Notifications?  Is that when you "follow" a thread and it send a message to your email when someone replies?

Don't judge me.  I still use a flip phone.  I access this sight on an iPad and sometimes from a computer at work (during lunch and break time only).

I'll see your flip-phone and raise you "I don't use touchscreens; they're the work of the Devil".

I never even got a flip-phone been using VOIP for my limited communication needs. I do use the touchscreen on my iPad but have the device in a protective case with an attached keyboard that makes it function more like a mini-laptop. There are still a few things that I can't do without using the touch screen but I avoid it as much as possible. I drive a 20 year old "analog" car and hope it lasts forever, neither my wife or I want to buy a computer with wheels...

Another semi-luddite here.  While I do have an iPhone, I use it mostly as an outgoing phone.   Only family and close friends have the number and I refuse to text.   When I "unplug", I want to be unplugged!  No Twitter, no Instagram, no tick tock, I have a facebook account with one friend, my son, so I could read his summaries of Oakland A's games when he was a teenager.  I think I have about 200 unanswered "friend requests".   Two cars, the "new" one is a 2006 Highlander Hybrid (the last Highlander went 297,000 miles).   The other is 30 years old this year.   I recently read that today's teens spend half their waking hours staring at their phones and none of them can read or write script!    Not sure where we are going as a society, but I suspect we're sitting in a huge hand-basket!

Now get off my lawn!

Bill, tgo

I'm over 100 now. They seem to be coming in batches 48 here 30 something there. I hadn't received any notifications for quite awhile and it is acting like something was restarted and no we a re being flooded from a backed up queue.

Full blown luddite here! I was accused of being one by my last boss. At the time, I was working as a network engineer for a semi-conductor manufacturing company. He wasn't happy that I didn't have a cell-phone. I was.

Like other folks here, I don't do facebook, instagram, et al.

Catch ya'll later, I'm going back under my rock.

Our little club got too big for the server it was on, so there is some behind the scenes stuff happening over the next couple days. Sorry about the email flood, we've contacted the provider for some insight there. Hopefully you won't even notice we're on the new server when that change happens.

Thank you so much for providing this forum!
