Hey guys, I get what you did but I must say a lot of people here are complaining about the same thing and I really don't have the ability or the want to explain this to everyone.

But I've noticed that its having an effect on continuing the conversation on some threads.

And it's sneaky in the sense that it only happens on some threads not all! So it's harder to tell that something's going on and needs to be addressed.

My email notification has always been set, yet I don't receive any. I used to, but not for a few months now. Oh, and my surgeon info used to post and for a few months that refuses to save and post.

Heh.. Just more to note is all ;)

Hi all,

I understand that you may be frustrated - but we've outlined how to revert to the old settings. We'll look into a "one-click" method to set your settings to the immediate notifications - but that will be a ways out.

The "offline" method is not new functionality, it's be around for years. The thing is, our default notification settings were pretty aggressive. Notifying users about nearly everything that they may or may not want to know. This caused huge issues with members marking the e-mails as SPAM, which results in a very low deliverability rate for our service.

In relation to the number of members signed up here (nearly 60 thousand), we have gotten very few complaints. We wish we could avoid causing an inconvenience - but this was the only way to comply with the ever so strict rules of the e-mail industry. We've reduced our spam complaints dramatically and increased our deliverability to members by a very large amount since this change.

All in all - over the long run, the site wide change will benefit users, even the ones who like being notified of everything (since it can be enabled to do so, still) because we wont be put on e-mail blacklists now, which is what ISP's and other internet e-mail services were planning to do. This was the best way (and perhaps the only way) to prevent them from doing so, and allow you to receive e-mails from us.

The last e-mail you received from us was on or around January 22nd - due to marking e-mail we sent as SPAM. This will prevent your ISP from receiving any more e-mail from us.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
