There are eighteen thousand emails in my inbox. EIGHTEEN THOUSAND. Oh wait, now there are 18,264...

Emails continue to be repeated to me at an incredible rate. If you have emailed me, I probably have multiple copies of your email, but cannot access it whatsoever. Am incredibly pissed off about this. Icedrake, I rescind my recommendation. Support replied to my cries for help with a casual 'oh, it seems to have stopped' and 'you have forms at your site that are generating these.' I totally cried bullshit on that, because a) it has not stopped and b) the repeats are all dated with the original time and date and come from valid places like paypal and genuine clients and real spam and stuff.

And in the time it took to write this, we're up to 18,478.

It continues to rain.

ETA: 30 minutes, and I'm over nineteen thousand.

Oh ack! That sounds TERRIBLE
It may be time to punch 'support' in the face with a knife until they get the message.

Do you use GCI? Because that was happening to me at work at the News-Miner on Friday. IT IS TO SCREAM. I have no idea if it's GCI that's doing it, but I find it an interesting coincidence that we're both having the same problem, in the same town, at about the same time.

(*cough* Sorry about giving you another 300 emails with this comment ...)

Nope, not using GCI - my connection is via ACS, but my email is entirely webbased, and through a company in California (Dreamhost). It is odd that it was about the same time, though...

Hmm. May turn off the emailing of comments for a bit here. THAT at least I can control.

Daaang. I am in envy of your self control - I'm pretty sure I'd have put my forehead thru the monitor by now...

Give 'em hell, Ellen. :)

Understood. Sorry you're having issues (though glad I haven't had time to switch providers yet).

wait, WHAT??? Crap, they're our host too. They better not start with that or I'll have fits. :(

Eep o_o

I'd probably just delete my entire inbox if that ever happened to me.

Eighteen.

Thousand.
