We wrote to you members a couple of weeks ago about the new email system we have just installed.
As promised, the new system has delivered a bunch of benefits, the most notable being:
On your account page (top right corner) you can now easily:
- Change your email address in every part of our system.
- Select which notifications you want.
That said, as I promised in the email, or maybe threatened would be a better word, there have been problems. There are always problems with new systems. Kinda like new boats.
The most annoying being that a bug in the new software caused the notification for Pat’s Hard Dodger article to go out twice on subsequent days.
Sorry. We know how irritating unnecessary emails are.
We did think about sending an email apology, but then we realized that a third email would be adding insult to injury!
And talking of duplicates and other issues, due to weaknesses in the old system, some of you are almost certainly either not getting any notifications or getting duplicates (other than the above error). If so, drop us a note at with the details and we will sort it out.
The good news is that once we get over the combined hangover from the old system and the conversion, things will be way better.
