The "E" stands for Exasperating (Patreon)

We've had some trouble with our email server recently. People increasingly weren't getting their password reset emails, account activation emails, etc. It was becoming a real problem and starting to eat up a lot of my day dealing with it.

Several adjustments later and things seem to be working smoothly again. If you do happen to do a password reset or anything else that would trigger an email from the Backloggery, please let me know if the email is overly slow or fails to show up -so I can continue to look into this if needed. It is surprisingly hard to ensure all emails are going through correctly and DMARC reports leave a lot to be desired.

On the bright side, this is one of the very few things from the current site that will be directly useful on the remake as well. If I had to spend time on the current site, this wasn't a bad way to do it.

This wasn't the kind of thrilling update I hoped to kick off 2021 with. Here's to hoping we can leave these annoying distractions in 2020 and really get the remake machine cooking again. Happy New Year! 🎉
