FORUM ALERT Removing Followers

[Jim Young 2,356]

Just to let everyone know, I have removed the listing of followers for the Main Topics, like Hangar Chat, P3D Forum, FSX Forum, etc., and not to specific threads in those forums.  It appears our upgrade earlier this year might have somehow corrupted this notification.  For instance, in the FSX Forum, I found 189 followers but, when I clicked on the followers, it showed only 30 names and at the bottom, only 16 others (which does not add up to 189).  Of course, many of them might have indicated they did not want others to know they were following but many of those following were old registrations and the math did not add up so decided to start fresh.  We had a possible glitch with our notification system and want to make sure this was not the issue.  It also slows down our system when e-mails are sent to e-mail addresses that no longer exist.  This is just in the AVSIM Forums and not in the Commercial Forums (may be visited in the future).  So, members might want to go to each main forum and indicate whether you want to follow every topic and thread in that particular forum.  I personally would recommend you just follow individual topics inside a Forum.

Apologize in advance for any inconvenience.
