No one answered this last time so maybe we can get some followthrough and get this resolved. Help help me Rhonda

System won't let me subscribe to email update on either my home computer or my work computer.

I ass-u-me that it's something in my prefs or something.
Someone asked me for a screen shot, which I provided, then... nada.

We've seen something like this before. It's a security-related error that in normal circumstances you would get if you were trying to access an admin's page and you aren't an admin. However, this shouldn't be your problem. I can't see any errors attributed to you. I can't really remember what the issue was the last time as it was a couple of years ago... Try a different browser perhaps? Sorry I can't be more helpful, but at the moment, I don't know the answer.

Actually, it could also be shown if you're trying to access a normal page but aren't logged in - wonder if your browser's causing issues there. Do you have any sort of funny cookie setup or unusual plugins?

Mmmm. I use Firefox on both computers. My home one is a Mac, work is a PC (natch). I'll try Safari @ home and see...

No weird weird plugins... Adblock, Downthemall, and some ftp stuff... I'll turn off the adblock here and see if that does anything.

Hmmm... does same thing in Safari.

Does someone have a super-duper admin account, and can just subscribe me to a daily email update for ILM?

I like the new "remove bookmark" feature.
KUDOS

Cheers. Hope it works.

Not so crazy about removal of "last updated by XXXXX" in thread titles... why'd that get pulled?

wurp, that's only on I pwn everything board?

Oh, it's not removed... It's just that it only populates that information when people first read that thread, so because I stopped and started the server, some of them are empty. They'll sort themselves out shortly.

I figured it was time to make it easier for Jhosh to get rid of some of his 1300 bookmarks.

Hm, makes sense.

The "remove bookmark" thing is great!

^Agreed! Also though there is this weird "Bookmark Removed" message that pops up on threads constantly that I have never bookmarked or even looked at.

Nhex - that's probably just your browser needing refreshed. It's a div tag that has a style associated with it to make it invisible (until it gets turned on briefly to indicate that you've clicked the button), but if your browser hasn't caught up with the stylesheet, then it'll default to being there all the time.

Ah, I believe you are correct. All good.

Woah. I guess I should stop by once in a while and see who's having a party on my thread...

Now, if we can all get back to addressing MY problem, which is why I miss out on stuff on ILM!

Factcheckr, the problem I have with your problem is that I have no idea what it is that's stopping it work - it works for others, so I am assuming it's something at your end. What that is, I just don't know, but if you can provide more information about what's going on at your end then I'll try to help.

Also worth bearing in mind that all the subscription does is to send you an email detailing basically what's in the new answers page for a given day. For ILM, that means you'll get an email every day. The idea was not really for board like ILM, which are always updated, it was for low use boards to remind interested parties when something has happened on them - for ILM, then the function is basically the same as setting some sort of daily reminder to go and look at ILM...

Hi Keith

That's exactly what I'm looking for. There's a lot going on there that's of no interest to me, but then there's stuff that is REALLY interesting that I miss.

Dunno what the problem is either. I click "Subscribe to a daily email update from this board" and I get HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied <http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/Pages/Admin/confirm.jsp?action=subscribe&boardid=41>;

That's it. I get it from my work PC, and my Mac @ home. At home I get it on Firefox & Safari. Can some admin just sign me up?

Okay, which boards is it you want signed up for? I'll add you to ILM...

It is strange, as the URL you post actually shouldn't be allowable, so it's behaving correctly, but others have been able to subscribe - bit confused! I'll take a look. Maybe it is entirely my fault after all!

OK, thanks for posting the link, as that explained it. My fault. I'll fix it shortly.

OK, that should be entirely fixed now, I think.

It was actually broken for everyone! People on the list were admins of some form or another. D'oh.

can't post in the locked thread but thank you! i didn't mean to even make a demand because it doesn't matter much to me but it's probably for the best, right

That's OK - yeah it probably is the right thing.

You are a prince amongst men

Oddly enough, I just now got my first email from the robot... ever.

I meant to come back and post that I never had, but procrastinated, and now...

I wonder... We were forced to start using GMail for email as the ILX box itself got blacklisted as sending out spam, so emails got scrubbed. I wonder if GMail is doing something similar.

Actually I got that one email digest the one time, then nada

WOAH!

Another email from the robot!
