One of my favorites, Morris, uploaded an image this morning...I never got an ebot.

So, no, the problem isn't fixed.

I know that I still don't get ebots when prog uploads an image.  All the others on my favorites seem to be ok for the time being.

I SEEM to be getting all the ebots now, although it's taking some of them upwards of an hour to be sent out based on the time the artist uploaded it and the timestamp on the email.  Others I get within a minute or two of the upload.

Yep...I started getting that the other day.  I noticed that everytime I tried to look at one particular topic, I would get that error.  I went down the forum list and tried every other topic in turn...no error.  I then tried to go back to that topic...error box popped back up.  I figured it was someone's signature or avatar, so I went and turned them off...turned off everything I possible could.  So far, that particular error message hasn't come back, but the other hard lock issues still remain.

I use IE on a 98 machine to browse the internet, and I've experienced the lock-up problem as well since the conversion.  It happens at least 2 or 3 times a day, and I have to manually shut the program down via the taskmanager.  In addition, anytime I open a second broswer window (or have one openend via a link, like from my mail program) for Renderosity, that second instance of IE doesn't close properly and once again I have to manually shut it down.  But this problem is worse because it will eventually cause my whole system to lock and force a reboot.

I don't have this problem with other websites, and it started THE SAME DAY the galleries got converted. You guys can push this back on the end users all you want, but there's definitely something that got screwed up during the conversion.  Almost 2 years of browsing Renderosity on the same machine with the same software without a single glitch, and then suddenly you guys switch software and the lockups begin.  I might tend to believe the "It must your computer" excuse if it happened to other websites, but it doesn't. 

I know 98 is old and not really supported anymore...I only use it to surf the web.  If the new software doesn't play nice with 98, at least tell us so we'll know.

Yesterday, it looked as if the favorite artist ebot problem had been resolved, but I'm starting to miss some again today.  Any chance of getting an update on this issue?

If your email reader is set to read html, clicking the link works just fine.  However, a lot of people (me included) set our email programs to only read plain text...it's just a lot safer that way.  If the coding could be fixed so that the link is displayed normally in plain text format (or give us the option of plain text ebots), the problem would go away.  It's simply a matter of very bad HTML coding skills, either by a real person or the software.

The old ebot system coded the emails correctly so that reading them in plain text provided the correct link and there was no problem.

For what it's worth, they're still hit or miss for me as well.  I have noticed that it seems that I get all ebots from some artists on my list, some ebots from others, and then there are some that I don't even think I've gotten ebots about since the conversion.

Since the announcement that it should have been fixed as of 3pm yesterday, I've seen at least half a dozen of my favorite artists upload images (haven't been to the galleries in the last few hours), but I only got an ebot on one of them.

Is there any status on this issue?

Still not working.

Four of my favorite artists uploaded overnight...zero ebots.

Five more of my favorite artists have uploaded this morning...1 ebot notification.

It seems to be completely hit or miss.  One of my favorites uploaded an image just a little while ago and I got no notice.  Yet, he uploaded 2 images yesterday and I got the ebot for only one of them.  And, I've just seen 2 more on my favorites list upload images within the last few hours...no ebots.

They're still not working properly...and no, the ebots are NOT going through my spam filters.  The few ebots I do get come to my inbox, not to my spam folder. 

But, I've gotten to the point that I really don't care anymore.  The attitude of  "It works for us...tough luck if it doesn't work for you!" is starting to get a little irritating, and I honestly don't give a flip anymore if they ever do start working.

Wow...my own thread and one of my replies stating that I'm not getting the ebots gets deleted...nice.

I'm STILL not getting ebots...in fact, I'm not getting ebots of any kind now.  I got a double ebot about a new product in the middle of the afternoon, and then nothing from there on out.  I'm subscribed to at least half a dozen threads in this forum and haven't recieve any ebots about them, even though they clearly getting new replies.

The ebots DON'T work, plain and simple.

Well, I checked my favorites list and found 4 that did upload today and I didn't get notification...and there were 2 for which I did get ebots.  Apparently, it's going to be a hit and miss system and you folks seem to be alright with that. 

That's disappointing to say the least.
