Still no email notifications. Only for PM’S. I do have them all turned on.
Hmm. We tested that pretty well, even through gmail spam filters.

Can we test it?
I assume you are "watching" your tank journal thread.

1) Verify that at top right is asks if you want to "unwatch"
2) Click that, to unwatch.
3) It should change to watch, click that.
4) Make sure to enable box "and receive email notifications"
Let me know when that is done, and I will post a test to it.

Just a note on email notifications on xenForo:

If you get an email notification on a watched thread, you will not get another email until you actually read that thread.
This eliminates redundant notifications if you get multiple posts.
But it can be confusing if you ignore the email for a while, and did not check.
Or if you read it while not logged in.

I noticed that DBTC threads are slightly different for me. Not a complaint, just an observation. The color tones are all a little darker. I’m viewing it on my iPhone through safari.
Fixed.

I’ve only ever gotten emails for pms, but they didn’t work for a long time. They do for me now. Which is great. And pictures loaded way faster for me tonight! Might be the new phone tho?

My favorite change is not having to resize the pictures. Does it change the resolution? Can we upload video yet?

So when I was uploading/downloading files, the new site seemed about 5X better.
It is local to Fremont, and has some better bandwidth and cpu.

So after some testing, it appears sbcglobal.net is blacklisting us.
Likely due to old server problems we had.
Working on it.

Well, I noticed that we now have a secure site. Before it always said “not secure” in my browser.

formatting issue when a poll is added to a thread. On safari iOS.

Access should have been fixed a while ago.

Currently the thumbnail for our site is the generic XenForo one. Can we put our fish logo in there instead? It’s one line of code in the header.
