Private Message System Verklempt

SkepticOverlord

I'd love to move ATS to an elastic cloud platform, but none have a data policy that would prevent law-enforcement access to our "stuff" without contacting us first.

That right there is why we keep electing you as overlord every year.

Have you guys thought about an Ad-free subscription, to help with that budget?

There are so many ways that wouldn't work, I'm afraid.

And even if it might possibly work, I'd be against it. My fear is that it would create a "culture issue" on the site where those who are paying adopt an attitude of being better than those who are not.

An Art site I regularly post on has that model, buy yeah I can see it causing some contention.

Anyway back to work I gotta figure out why my cluster is being A CLUSTER ....

Then over the next few days, see if additional repairs can provide limited access for you to recover any messages you need.

adjensen's right.
The NSA has a copy.

These things happen.

Do you happen to know why when I post a reply in a forum my star is gone? I have only seen this on one other person's comment besides mine, what gives?

The little blank star doesn't show up on what you have posted, except to other members.

I'm not seeing how we get notified that we have a new message.
Anyone know if we get a notification???
What's it look like??

If not .. we could use one somehow. A light coming on or a button lighting up or something ...

Thanks a bunch K.


I knew it was somewhere.

This temporarily solves the speculated PM vs NSA issue.

Hi My Friend, look to the top right of your screen just under menus bar the (i) thing,
just left of the Magnifying glass you use for searches, there is an Envelope.
See it?
Solid White you have a Message, just the Outline of an Envelope and No New Messages.

No offence or anything.

Ha ha, good one, kinda like the avatar, especially since you have so many poses etc. I'm lowly without avatar lol. Love the place and that you really are so fair and not just ban happy like some sites. You give people a chance to settle in and have second chance and learn how to disagree and still get along.

Great job.......

Let me know if there is any way I can help you.

You're good SO, God I appreciate your ongoing efforts to keep our beloved Starship ATS Flying high throughout the cosmos.

I picture your office like " Captain! I'm giving it all Ive got, she cant take much more !"

Scotty: Do you mind a little advice? Starfleet captains are like children. They want everything right now and they want it their way. But the secret is to give them only what they need, not what they want.

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Yeah, well, I told the Captain I'd have this analysis done in an hour.
Scotty: How long will it really take?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: An hour!
Scotty: Oh, you didn't tell him how long it would *really* take, did ya?
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Well, of course I did.

Not as bad as looking for my cigarettes everywhere and finding them in the fridge...

Not as bad as my divorce. HA ! Not even close...

I'll survive...and thanks for taking the time to let us know. I appreciate.

That guy took it hard though...

I wouldn't be sad if mine stayed empty. I'm one of "Those" members who never bothered to delete the content of his mailbox in like 3 or more years

Okay, we're back up with a virgin database. Be gentle.

Sometime about that word "Virgin" has made everything OK and I really don't care about old messages.
