I'm subscribed to the section with the following options:

I've been subscribed for years. I've not received a single alert ever.

Subscription to other forums works fine.

It's because the news posting system bypasses the forums method. If I could into OOP I could fix that but I am not a learning animal.

Not really a coder. We should force DU into an OOP education camp. It's the only way.

It's been years!

That said, If you're going to continue to maintain these forums using this software, it would probably be in your best interests to actually learn OOP.
Yeah, that was pretty much the plan - only it meant committing time to it that I didn't really have and it was a greater mind-fuck than I had anticipated.

Do you want me to have a look? I'd need full sources with some instructions for initial setup and an example DB to test it on.

No, we're working on it. Code we had was throwing errors.

Given I don't know XF2 but I do know my own code, it was easier to remove the XF2 part that sent alerts.

Rest assured we are working on this feature though and hope to bring it back online. Probably at about the same time as the games' / people / company database. And some text for the about page.
