I have heard complaints in the past about Supertopo's email function, but it had always worked fine for me.

Lately I have been getting no replies to ST emails I sent.

Then I found out for sure that one member never got these emails from me.

Now he has tried sending one to me. Nothing.

Anybody else experiencing any of that?

hey there say, survival... most of mine get there, but a few had not... so, i usually ,if it is serious, or a time frame... do the ol :



taco post here, letting someone know, that i emailed them...


do some internet systems not work well, as to mail?
i think, even the old netzero that i used to have, through, got through...

i too, get curious, sometimes... or, say, could someone's
mailbox, be full??? and they bounce off, lost?

Yes Survival I think I have been experiencing that too. Sent two people PMs about a month ago and I'm pretty sure they never got them.

I'm going to try to send you one right now! Let's see.

Same here. In last couple months the messaging function has been unreliable/non-functioning. Previous to this it seemed to wrk fine on the few times I used it.

Well, I just got a successful one from Nita, thanks Nita!

But the other one I mentioned previously did not come through for sure.

Phylp, I have not received one from you yet. We'll give it some time.

oh.... did you think that because there was an option to PM that it would be so???

That's what you get for thinking!! hahahaha Jokes on you too!!

Cool, I'm not the only one upset about indifferences I see of the world out of my control.

Whoops... I almost thought there was a connection...

Cheers Survival... hoe it all makes it more important for everyone some day.

Ok, so clearly we should never take it personally if people never respond to messages because more than 50 percent of the time they are not getting them.

I've sent You two. With no reply.

But it's a long road from Merced to Jersey.

Maybe the stagecoach got held up by a gang of snails?

So clearly this has never been fixed, just FYI.
A number of us sent Zip PMs over the last 2 days that he never got.

I only got 2 of the 6 most recent that were sent to me.

This was not a problem in years past. Something happened.

Korean hackers?

From the recent FBI report on Sony hack.


The report said the malware overrides all data on hard drives of computers, including the master boot record, which prevents them from booting up. "The overwriting of the data files will make it extremely difficult and costly, if not impossible, to recover the data using standard forensic methods," the report said.

Judging from the time it took me to rebuild my MBR looks like folks have a rocky road ahead. Luckily(?) only my boot record was demolished. All the data was in tact.

STOP RELYING ON COMPUTERS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

Smoke signals are as effective, easier to learn, more succinct and once the rather bleak environmental effects issue is resolved the preferred mode of the computational effete elite.

EDIT:

I hate to be sitting on the sideline while everybody is in the game, so I sent one to mfm and survival not more than 5 minutes ago.

I sent you one also Mike. Nothing in my inbox yet.

I'm sure this is not a cookie issue. Nobody complained of it in years past, and I never had any trouble with it.

This last fall it appears to start happening to many people.

Ha ha ha! Well I did more than send him a PM by starting this thread.

We KNOW that they patrol their turf, deleting selectively and explaining themselves rarely.

But not ONE SINGLE PEEP about this issue.

Yo RJ, CMac, what up fellas?

I guess they don't know squat about what to do or they may have said something.

I sent one to Locker about 2 weeks ago and never heard back from him. I am now guessing that he didn't get it tho he might have just ignored me...

On the other hand I received a pm thru ST on Jan 5th, so it worked that one time at least.

Edit: Yes, locker, I really did send you one. I'll re-send it now.

Meanwhile, deep within the granite confines of Supertopo headquarters

"The natives are restless again, sir. It's the private message thing again."

"Did you already try the juicer reviews?"

"Yes, sir."

"Oh for land's sake, these commoners...why can't they all just quit shitposting and buy the damn products we advertise?"

"Good question, sir."

"I've created a monster, you know this. Tell them that when I'm gone. Tell them that I tried to create a civil medium for climbers to communicate and share trip reports. I had only good intentions. Now I have this bloated albatross around my neck. Dragging me down, chaplain. Like a f*#king number six Camalot."

"Good intentions. Right, sir."

"If only that Ouch! guy was still around. I rather liked his funny photo alterations. What has this forum become? Where did it all go wrong?"

I'm actually trying to figure out how to disable a certain member's ability to pm me, or email me.
But he's a master hacker/resoler.
Maybe he's actually from New Zealand...or CANADA!
