Styleforum User reports and questions on technical issues

Checking the spam filter on our side-- you marked one of our emails as spam on 4/16, so the messages stopped delivering to you. I have removed the block that you created, so they should start going through again.

OK! Thank you. That was totally unintentional.

Glad to help.

Oh man, I don't know what's going on. After you reset that block last night, I had three thread notifications that ended up in my spam box this morning. So they showed up, but just not in my Inbox. I restored them to my Inbox, and now it seems I'm not receiving update emails again, ugh!

I've checked my filters on my side an emails from "[email protected]" are set to be delivered to my Inbox.

Sorry to bug you, but can you check that on your end again?

Thank you.

Something is up with the system overall-- I'm not getting mine either. Working on it.

Why was the Passus Shoes thread closed?

Hello,

I've deactivated all notifications, however I keep getting an email every time someone comments in a thread I posted on / likes a post / reacts to a post etc.

Can someone help?

Select the threads you want to stop emails for, then hit "Manage Watched Threads" and "Disable Email notifications".

@LA Guy

Have you considered starting a annual or maybe biannual SF user survey?

It could build a database regarding user demographics, economics, style preferences, wish lists for upcomming seasons, which affiliates we buy from etc.

The results could be shared with affiliates to better understand their customers.

Permanentstyle does something like this to target his audience better. It should be cheap and feasable...

We haven't done this, but we have other demographic data. Maybe we'll do this, though my own survey building skills haven't been tested since 2011 or so. Maybe it's time to commission something from Quantcast again, though, maybe when we pass the COVID-19 crisis, so that the data make more sense, and we have more discretionary funds and energy to spend on this.

When did the like button change from just the thumb to now you have to choose every time? I liked the way it used to be better.

Edit: on mobile that is.

Every single time I log in, I'm prompted by this stupid notification popup. Doesn't matter how many times I say I don't want them.

It's clearly tied to cookies, which I delete.

Get rid of it. Tie it to the user account, not cookies.

We don't have a way to tie it to user accounts. It is tied to a cookie from the forum software, because some users want notifications on their home PCs, and not on their work/other PCs.

Are you logging out and deleting cookies every time you leave the forum?

Yeah I delete cookies every time I log out.

Anyone having problem work certain Twitter media not loading?
This one won't play in SF https://www.styleforum.net/threads/the-official-covid-19-thread.660139/post-10214683

This one will: https://www.styleforum.net/threads/the-official-covid-19-thread.660139/post-10214686

Both work fine if I click through to Twitter. Been happening for a while now.

Just some suggestions for the chat feature:

1. I find that it's not always clear who messaged you. The green light doesn't always come on. New messages aren't always the first to be displayed. Would be nice if there was a way to solve this.

2. I also wish you could exit a chat without the other person knowing. I like to clean up my chats, but then recently learned that the other person knows that you've "deleted" the chat thread, which I feel like could be interpreted as rude.

3. Lastly, I wish you could opt-out of this. I prefer the old DM system and wish there was a way you could direct all messages there.
