Good afternoon
In order to resolve a couple of issues, the following changes have been made. 1. The post count requirement for the FS areas had not been working - this has now been resolved. 2. PM notifications were sent with the full PM content. As this is effectively a breach of the Privacy Act, the PM content has been removed from the email. 3. The above change will also impact new post notifications for subscribed thread as they use the same code to send the actual text so these will now just arrive with a link to the thread. There will be some other minor changes made over the next few days and I will update this thread accordingly. Cheers Russ

Russ, if you don't mind me asking, which bit of the Privacy Act is breached if the PM content is displayed in emails?

As PM's contain telephone numbers, addresses and other means of identifying the individual we are erring on the side of caution. I guess it depends what a reasonable expectation is - but based on the fact that the previous vbulletin version didn't include the email text that is probably the expectation of most here. Cheers Russ

I suspect you are right however it's a relatively minor inconvenience to have to view a PM so it is probably better for us to be more compliant than we need to be.
Cheers Russ

I miss the preview we used to get in the subscribed thread notifications, now I have to check the thread itself just to find someone has said thanks, or it's just some trivial stuff that wasn't worth the trouble.
Is there any way this can be changed back again please? Cheers, |

I will try - I've added some code but I'm not sure what it will do as yet. Won't know until someone replies to a subscribed thread!
Cheers Russ

hi Russ . i have noticed that sometimes lately after i post in a thread , the thread dissapears from the menu , until another user replies after .
When the thread disappears i can find it by checking the forum topic page/ OR THE find all posts by gtfpv . but it doesnt appear under the new posts menu . this is a random inconsistant issue that has only appeared since the update a few weeks ago . |

Cheers Col

Just playing with changes to allow the post notifications to contain text while the PM ones don't.
Cheers Russ

The actual discussion thread on this topic is here Even though it is working as designed, I'm going to put it back the (incorrect) way it was given the angst it seems to be causing. Russ
