Thanks. I noticed that.
Could you perhaps have a very simple fall-back site elsewhere, so if there's an outage on the main site, we can still check its status, and not be worried that JBTs arrived in black helicopters to shut the place down?

Re: Another unscheduled outage
But something has happened to the e-mail notification since it happened...I've posted and had responses and haven't received a single notification!
Just a minor bitch, but could the format of the e-mail indicate the link first and the Spam notice second as all the other e-mails I get, the thread link is always first and the unsubscribe is second and I don't know how many times I clicked the unsub instead and then had to go back in and resubscribe...
Thanks in advance!

Are you sure your ISP or spam filter as not catching our notifications? Everyone else seems to be getting them...

Re: Another unscheduled outage
Same here and my Spam filter etc. is fine...remember we had this problem with the other site and it had to do with the sender somehow mislabelling them or some such...

Any news on the email notification, or lack thereof?

Re: Another unscheduled outage
I've had some problems with email notifications from a few of my websites.
They have usually been related to the smtp headers, it seems that when you upgrade the smtp server, or change versions of it, suddenly it gets a lot more picky on what headers are there, and exactly how they look like. Same thing seems to happen when php was upgraded, subbenly it wouldn't send smtp commands the exact same way, so the server stopped them.
Some of the problems I have had only occur when testing from an external address, like a hotmail address or something, never when using an address like "webmaster@theguncounter.com". These problems really got on my nerves, because the smtp protocol doesn't really give much feedback as to what the error is, so I had to more or less guess all the way.
To make it even more frustrating, when I did log it, it never seemed to show any error, it just wouldn't send the email.
Not saying that's the problem here, but I thought I should mention it anyway.
When you do find the error, I'd like to know what it is, because it's probably just a matter of time before I run into it.
