Yup - I was able to log in. Thanks! I really liked getting the emails as opposed to having to rely on the notifications. Somehow, those aren't as clear to me, and it seems to keep notifying me of the same updates even after I "mark all as read". The email notifications were working as of mid February. It would be really nice to have that working again. Until that time, I'll have to make do. As for my inability to contact an administrator, it would also be good to have the "Contact An Administrator" form NOT be disabled!

Email notifications are still working just fine. Not sure why you're having a problem, but it isn't system wide.

Hmm. I have a gmail address and it hasn't changed for all my time here at Asterisk. I don't fine the notification emails in the Junk, Spam or Trash folders either. I wonder what's happening to them. There was one time a year ago when I accidentally flagged them as Spam, but that does not seem to have happened this time. Are they still being sent by concam@mtu.edu?

Yes. Here's the one I receive in response to your post that I'm replying to here.

That seems to be essentially what I had been seeing up to some time after Feb 26. Here's the latest one I have:

Are you sure you're subscribed to the topic(s) you're following? I've accidentally clicked that bottom link before and had to go back to the forum and refollow topics.

Yes. I still have to manually subscribe to topics that I haven't posted to yet, but I still get notifications for those, and SHOULD be getting emails too based on my maxed out profile settings (which I only did after not getting emails for a while):

You also need to make sure that you're actually subscribed to the topics you're expecting notifications from. That's a different setting.

Indeed I am (but I was - and still am - getting automatically subscribed simply by posting something, which eliminates having to explicitely subscribe to every single topic):

Hello, Sorry to comment here, but hey Captain johnnydeep, can you send me the link of your profile pic? It's astonishing.



Edit: hey, and you too, Abominable Snowman! Chris Peterson ^^

Hi - my avatar is a smaller size version of the Centaurus A galaxy, and was taken from the Wikipedia article about it. See https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centaurus_A. The image itself is a composite of images from three different telescopes in three different wavelengths:

Colour composite image of Centaurus A, revealing the lobes and jets emanating from the active galaxy’s central black hole. This is a composite of images obtained with three instruments, operating at very different wavelengths. The 870-micron submillimetre data, from LABOCA on APEX, are shown in orange. X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are shown in blue. Visible light data from the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on the MPG/ESO 2.2 m telescope located at La Silla, Chile, show the background stars and the galaxy’s characteristic dust lane in close to 'true colour.'

There have been several APODs featuring this galaxy over the years, as it is indeed an awesome looking galaxy! Here's one from only two weeks ago presenting a different - but equally incredible! - image: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap230503.html

Chris' avatar image seems to be very close to this one:

Thank you so much
Centaurus A looks so beautiful.
