Unsolicited Email Notifications?

Tuesday, February 20, 2007 by drexolympus | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues

I apologize profusely if this issue has come up and/or been addressed in the past, but a glance-over of the first page produced no information.

I just received 16 emails, all identical (or at least, very similar) telling 'me' that treetog had recently updated a skin. When last I checked, I had never used the name "Draginol," nor had I subscribed to treetog's skins. After the first 8 I checked my settings and verified that I was not on the list to be notified of changes, when I received the second batch of emails.

Please let me know if this is an error that I should clear up on my end, or if it's a glitch in the system. As great as treetog's skins are (and they are great), I don't need to be notified of them 16 times. Thanks!

If the image doesn't work, I guess perhaps imagesocket does funky stuff to it.

I would guess that the server just passed some gas.

I got another report of this earlier in the evening and have already emailed off a bug report. I'm not at all sure why this just suddenly happened with this update on Treetog's part.

Sorry about that.

I'm glad it's being worked on. Just so you're aware, I received another 21 emails between the times of 6:38 and 6:42AM MST (8:38-8:42AM EST) this morning (26 February 2007) all notifying me of JJ Ying's AeroS skin. I believe I was notified about that skin twice on Saturday, as well, though I still haven't subscribed to receive any such emails.

Again, it's not a big deal for me, but it means something's up, so I just wanted to make sure it's made known. Thanks!
