As some of you might have noticed over the past couple of months, there is something going on with the Notifications on the Escapist's website.
Every weekend when Saturday turns into Sunday ( LA, California, US time. ), users' notifications are deleted and their profile settings indicating whether they should receive a notification when quoted are turned off.[footnote]A special note: Notifications manually deleted by the user can still be accessed in the Trash section.[/footnote]
You can click here to turn on 'Quote Notification' again under 'Notification Options'.[footnote]I have been thinking about adding a function which automatically turns the notification settings on again for users, but I'm a bit predisposed at the moment so that might take a while to do.[/footnote]
Provided things don't break down, from now on a new post will be added to this thread every Saturday night, to help people be aware of this. Although with Summertime kicking in a few weeks ago I'm not sure of the post timings anymore, the post should show up at 00:06AM Sundays, but it might be off by an hour, if this is the case I would appreciate a heads up![footnote]Also, if anyone here knows a better way to word this entire post, feel free to write it down and I'll copy it.[/footnote]
Credit for this post go to several vigilant people who noticed this anomaly a couple of months ago and also Vendor-Lazarus for determining the precise timing.
