When you sign up on this forum you have to provide an email address. This address is used to notify you if you subscribe to threads, and it's also used to notify you if you receive new private messages.

If you change email addresses after signing up and the old email addresses no longer works, then the forum software still  attempts to send the old email address your notifications and private messages.

Because I'm the server administrator this means that I get your notifications as a bounced back message.

Please ensure that you have a valid email address in your profile. Firstly the bounced messages are annoying, secondly I don't really want people's private messages.

Up until now I have been notifying people when I have received these but I'm not in a position to follow the slowly increasing number of these messages up, so I'll just be deleting them from now on...

kthnxbye

PS. Hope you all had a nice Christmas.

i usually get a few emails a week which are meant to be replies to PMs

people keep on missing the bit that says:

IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply to this email.

Either is fine.
