E-66 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) It was kind of frustrating to go to my list of several subscribed topics just now and see only ONE of them left. Then I saw the message at the bottom of the page - "Note: Subscriptions are pruned if there is no reply to the topic after 5 days."What's the point of pruning them like that? There were several threads I was following and others that had information in them that I subscribed to so I could read them at my leisure, and now they're gone. I guess I could bookmark the threads and access them directly through my browser, but it's nice to be able to see an organized list of topics within my Control Panel area here on the site.Am I overlooking something or do I have a right to be ticked off?

xper Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 What's the point of pruning them like that?Because I get several mails like this one every day:This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: notme******@hotmail.co.uk SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<notme******@hotmail.co.uk>: host mx2.hotmail.com [65.54.244.168]: 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailablenotme******,********** has just posted a new topic entitled "Windows Distribution Share" in forum "Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003".

Martin L Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 the forums are sending an email to all the subscribers, once an email is outdated and the topic is still subscribed the forums will try to send an email but it cant, so xper will get an error message in his email. thats the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xper Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Yes. Thanks Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Why not make a webmaster@msfn.org email address and let the forums use that instead of your own? Then you won't get those bounce-back messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
