There is something seriously wrong with the forum's Private Messaging system. Some messages I receive from other users are arriving as blanks. Some I send are doing the same to other users. I'm only getting online notifications of new messages about half the time. In one case, a message sat for two weeks before I accidentally stumbled on it. Although I have myself set to get emails notifying me of PMs, I am receiving none. With that in mind, rather than being constantly aggravated by having half conversations, I am shutting down my ability to send and receive PMs. Sorry. I urge management to look into why this is happening now. When I oversaw the process, I never had these problems, nor did I hear complaints about such from anyone else. Obviously, someone in management is playing with settings, and they don't know what they are doing. When Jack and I ran those things, we never heard those complaints because we cleaned up the member feature settings. In the past, before us, it seemed as no two members were set up the same way initially. We standardized member levels and set rules as to when they changed. I recently read messages here about wannabe users that never received confirmation messages or were denied membership for reasons unknown. I looked into how users were initially approved or unapproved for forum membership when I was a Moderator. This was out of the Moderator's hands at the time and I assume, if there was a Moderator now, it would still be out of their hands. One particular member of Management handled the initial approval of all members, according to logs I read. They had higher Administrative access than Jack and I had, and reading logs was the closest we could get to that subject. As best as I could see, there was no rhyme or reason as to why some people were approved and others not. I fear that this person or some other person in Management is now making changes to the forum member settings that Jack and I worked so hard to get working correctly.
Furthermore, with regard to the forum itself, I intend to limit my posting here now and in the future. I really have nothing to post about publicly. I use StreamFab for exactly one TV show, my wife's soap opera, Days of Our Lives, on Peacock. The soap opera is not readily available by Torrenting. All my video downloading is now done via Torrenting. I can't continue to use a system that works for a while and then doesn't for almost 6 months. Now that Peacock is working again, I realistically have nothing to talk about here, and so I won't.
