    Why has the new post notification changed?

    It used to have a copy of the new post contained in the e-mail and now all you get is the general reply that someone has posted without the content of the post anymore.

    Has there been some abuse recently?

    after i turned it on as the default for all new user, i am getting email replies to those mails. some users thinks that they can just reply to those notifications. as a result, i had to mail them to tell them that they need to visit the forum instead so the other contributor can read it!

    so i thought the best way is to just have a pure notification, so there would not be any mistakes and no more stray reply into my mailbox...

    Ah..............I was thinking the other day your e-mail in box must take a lot of sorting through if you have the auto notification on :eek:

    tell me about it.... ;)

    in between the new user notifications, server error msgs, and all these notification replies, it is guaranteed that i feel very popular and loved every time i open my email box.
