I knew this would happen. As soon as Tekime included a cosy mass mailer in the new software update I knew my inbox would start filling up. The source of the emails was from astawerks. I was about to come here and rage at the owner, but then i realised it wasnt his fault, it was some stupid coding. Heres a screenshot of what happened when someone used the stupid mass mailer to break some not-so-important news - As you can see, i got 10 emails from this site. So whats the problem? Well phpLB being rather silly will send an email to the address used for every link submission. Because I have 10 active links listed in astawerks, it sends me 10 emails. Would be much better if the "programmers" had thought about this and done a little GROUP BY email in their SQL code, then i would have 1 email, not 10. Anyone else had this problem or am I just a little sad complaining? mike
That happened to me when I try to setup some pho coding for notifying people of replied comments on news articles. For the PHPLB peeps set up an array that collects email addresses as the significants. Then check the array to see if that email exist already. I wouldn't call it simple, but it works.
These things happen but they are annoying But you are not sad as you are a very happy and creative guy
Agree 100%. Mikey delete those stupid emails and get out a little bit People who want to change the world need some rest too
I got 4 emails from Astawerks but just deleted and went on. Yeah it is annoying like spam submissions are. Another thing they coded into that script is the auto enrollment to link oubid notifications that I have received from other bid directories also. There should be a setting for that when you submit.
