Hello,

has anyone else experienced the problem of having your mail box drowned in April's Newsletter?

In the past 25 minutes I've received this ProZ April Newsletter 35 times, and they keep on coming, making it nearly impossible to get to my work related emails.

Or is ProZ.com just trying to make sure that I'm really, really getting it?... See more
Hello,

Or is ProZ.com just trying to make sure that I'm really, really getting it?

Hopefully, they can fix whatever bug that is. Else my mailbox will be drowning in newsletters in the morning.

best,

Thayenga

What newsletter? Apr 25, 2016

I didn't even know that there was a Proz newsletter and have never received it.

Hi Tom,

it starts like this:
[April news] Have you made use of your free TM-Town membership... and contains all important info about/around ProZ.com activities....

Maybe you didn't get it because... I received them all (thus far 43 copies).

April newsletter Apr 25, 2016

I received it yesterday without any problems, but some time ago I experienced the same phenomenon with a Kudoz question that entered into a “time-loop” and kept repeating itself over and over again, until it disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared…

Yes, a time-loop makes sense. I contacted Jared who informed the site developers. Suddenly I stopped receiving the newsletter. Maybe I should make 43 my lucky number.

Considering how large a site ProZ.com is, these little issues can happen. But they're usually fixed pretty fast thanks to the staff here.

No - I didn't get it and I don't want it.
