Question

Is it just me?

Is is just me or has the volume of posts increased exponentially since the new forum was introduced? I think I am receiving a lot of duplicate posts, and they don't seem to be arriving in chronological order - I get replies before the original question.

Between 8pm Monday and 6am this morning, I received 46 posts, and many of them looked familiar. Do I have a setting wrong somewhere?

Regards

    It seemed very normal for me to receive messages that answer someone's
    question(s) before I rec'd the message with the original question. I know
    I wasn't the only person who saw this....

    I also had (51) messages this morning. That is very unusual and too many.
    I haven't went to the web-based forums but I do hope there's a way to turn
    off e-mail copies of messages. I'll gladly do the forum only. I think it's
    a better system anyway.

    One reason I think the volume of posts has increased is that several of
    the posts were actually meant to be replies back to the sender only, not
    the list. Now, when you simply hit reply, it goes to the list, not the
    original sender as it did before.



    So, there were several response mistakes I saw, maybe as many as 10+
    that were easily identified as ones that were not intended to go back to
    the list.

    Some quick notes -

    1. The server was hammered yesterday with account sign-up, indexing (for searching) and people changing settings and subscriptions by the 1000s. This lead to some delays in mail sending. Traffic did rise pretty quickly yesterday.
    2. There have been no duplicate emails
    3. You can use it as a web only forum or a listserv. If you log into the portal (portal.ptcuser.org) and go to the file area there is a How-to document for the Forums (there is also a link from www.ptcuser.org)
    4. You can subscribe / unsubscribe and change email settings at will - they all work now on our new service.

    This is because all posts are going to the list now. Before the default
    was to have them go to the author. And there seems to be a delay on
    some responses and not on others. Things come in all out of order and
    you get the same answer from many people because they don't know that
    another person already answered.

    I think it will be a little messy while Jeff and the gang sort through
    the bugs, the complaints and the issues. We just need to be patient.

    For a first effort, the new exploder is fantastic. And it was delivered
    on time! In time it will get better as they make some tweaks to better
    serve how we want to use it.

    This increase in volume is a happy thing for me. The last several months
    I have received very few posts and most of those were replies to posts
    and I never got the original post. I have been looking for a problem
    here on our e-mail server, but I will assume now that it was the old
    exploder and not on our server.

    They definitely not arrive in a chronological order.
    We are also getting all the replies. I preferred the "old" way when we were only receiving the summaries.
