Holy shit the ball has not only been dropped over there, it's been well and truly burst, then exploded.
Link?! I'd seen there was an email issue alright
Edit - was same thread. Checked my old PMs... Jesus

Yeah, think their email got hacked because of it.

FFS just changed my boards email to a crappy one I have, probably too late. what a shitshow.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - TheValeyard - 05-08-2021
Glad I used a throw away email for mine
also, just seen every PM i sent is back, even the ones I 'deleted'.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Leg End Reject - 06-08-2021
I use a burner email for all non-personal sites. It's always a variation of a made up name, and my boards version is the most obscure, so I'm not personally worried about the email thing. I can understand how others are fuming though, and one poster was able to find out the real name, location, LinkedIn account etc of one of those affected. It wasn't malicious, they were just highlighting the urgency of it.
The PM thing is worrying though and I'm very dubious about zombie PMs being resurrected after the move.
It really feels like it's time to don the life jacket and head for the lifeboats while our data floats in the ether.

Went to one place for indoor dining last week, guy had a half hearted look at the certs, didn't double check against ID, didn't take contact details of anyone indoors, the cleaning was sub standard as people left, I was so so uncomfortable. I even sanitised my arms where I was leaning on the table. So we said not going there again. Our second option, we went out there today but it was fairly packed outdoors (as much as it can be with distancing etc), it looked like wedding guests, nowhere to park, so in the end we went to the local centra for take away coffees and sat in the car at the harbour and chatted. My next real human interaction will be the tesco delivery on Saturday.I don't think you are alone in feeling uncomfortable. So many people are now feeling the same when out and about. It's difficult to switch back to how things were when we have been dealing with a contagious virus. I do think the communication around it has a huge part to play as well.
For example I recently overheard two doctors who are fully vaccinated saying they wouldn't be comfortable dining indoors. I felt for them. Coronavirus is not going anyway. Mutations will occur. At what point do we live our lives.
For those who are extremely cautious I wonder what would need to happen to just do everyday regular things.

Damn friend woke me with a response to a hilarious image I sent super early. Then I saw WW needed my attention, so now in front of the PC, badly need to caffeinate.

RE: The email thing, I'm 99% sure I noticed the box was checked for me when the switch over happened, but I unticked it pretty quick. Didn't twig it was a much bigger issue at the time though.
As someone who had an issue with a borderline stalker on boards, that sort of shit is not on at all.

Yeah it was one of the first things I checked, I had noticed when I looked at my own profile my email was visible to me, so I went and checked. Mine was off though. But you can see that it's a much broader issue than "a small number of posters"
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - HildaSilvioOgden - 06-08-2021
Mine was definitely not ticked.
It's a weird option to have, but I know it's on other sites, like Digital Spy which apparently is also vanilla'd...
I have had the reappearance of PMs alright.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - nothing - 06-08-2021
I'm almost sure I had to untick mine
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Mam of 4 - 06-08-2021
I'm not 100%sure but I think I had to untick mine also , as I can remember thinking why would I want anyone to be able to see my email address.
Plus in the last half hour I've just copped how far back the old deleted messages re emergence goes ... it's a total clusterfcuk. Things will be better and newer?! It gets worse everyday as new issues are brought to light imo .
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Necro - 06-08-2021
The PM thing would have been easily picked up if they selected a handful of long term posters and let them test the new format... using Test accounts with no post history would never show that sort of issue with PMs

This is literally my job lol..
So I cannot understand the logic.
Test test and test some more.. there is a rule in testing that you will never find all the bugs. But, you should be able to find the big issues with testing cause that's were your focus should be

They had the new UI on one PC over a VPN in the office as per the earlier announcements... I was really worried when I read that in the first place

Probably cause they need to send PRs to Vanilla before they can implement anything

Stoopid people saying I owe them €30 from fees back in 2020. I have receipts that prove otherwise but they have bank details that support their position. Oh but as a gesture of goodwill we will right it off as a 'bad debt'. Feck off. Yee get loads of money out of me every year and your organisation stinks. I will look at my bank records but you can have your poxy €30.

I'd suspect some of that to be automated from Vanilla team or techies logging in and out to monitor site changes, updates etc.

A good few years ago, before they changed anything at all really on Boards, a whole bunch of us went into the office for a couple of hours and did some user testing for them. It was really successful, quite a few issues and bugs were spotted, however for whatever reason that upgrade didn't go ahead in the end. Toto also went into the office to do another round of testing a few years back that never came to anything. In this case they were committed to upgrading regardless, so why didn't they get a load of people to test it this time? I would have been happy to make some time to help out, and I'm sure plenty of others would be.
