We will be performing a minor update to the forum software tomorrow night. Shouldn't take more than 10-15min. Should close up some bugs. Thanks!

(oh, any chance of fixing the Library subscriptions? )
Greg Bernhardt said:what is wrong with subscriptions?
tiny-tim said:The last time I checked, they weren't working …
(I don't think they've ever worked, except on February 17th, when suddenly dozens of notifications came through all at once … see https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=2080537&postcount=10")
for example, I subscribed to cooper pair (on 22nd or 23rd August, I think), and it was edited on 29th August, but I received no notification.
Greg Bernhardt said:hmmm works for me, I just subscribed to cooper pair, did a test edit and ran the cronjob and got the PM.
tiny-tim said:Hi Greg!
(wot's a cronjob? )
Wow! just got 32 notifications in 2 minutes.
Did you trigger something?
(but no notifications of other members' edits of my own entries, eg exponential Feynman diagrams free energy and resistivity , and no option to subscribe to them )
Last Tuesday, we had a "10-15 min" email outage at work for a server reboot. I had to use my personal email until Thursday!Greg Bernhardt said:We will be performing a minor update to the forum software tomorrow night. Shouldn't take more than 10-15min. Should close up some bugs. Thanks!

Good luck, Greg!

CronCron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. 'cron' is short for 'chronograph'
And only if http://xkcd.com/149/" ...humanino said:Cron
So you can define for instance a cron job such as "make coffee at 6:25 am" if you intend to wake up at 6:30 am. Of course, it only works on Unix-based OS
