Maybe it's going to a spam-folder, or otherwise filtered away from your inbox? The search-phrase that finds these e-mails in my mail is "pre-release mail-out" Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody has MORE than that, please let me know ASAP!!! If anybody has FEWER than that, start looking for tech glitches: spam-traps, other filtering, alternate e-mail addresses, etc... probably the issue is on your end, since Chaosium has this on MailChimp (or with a 3rd party who uses MailChimp), and randomly-dropped individual subscribers is an extraordinarily-rare occurrence these days. If you find no possible errors on your end, THEN ask Chaosium to look into things... But the problem is probably on your end. No, really. As a computer tech-support guy, I once helped a customer debug his "broken" drawing-tablet -- it was a disconnected power-cord. The customer had angrily claimed that was NOT the issue, pointing out that he was a professional electrical engineer, and knew far more about this shit than random phone-support dork... Yes he did know far more about electrical engineering than me; but his device was still unplugged. Took me about half an hour on the call (with my "check all the power cords, connections, switches that control outlets, etc" coming in the first few minutes of the call; then we went back looking at progressively-more-esoteric possible issues; THEN we "just in case'd" the power-connections).

LOL! Yeah had similar experiences. Did tech support at a school and computer science teacher couldn't get his PC working. No lights, no beep, no monitor, nothing. I asked him if it was plugged in and he said yes it was. I got to his classroom and he had everything plugged into a power strip (good) including the power strip itself (unbelievably not good). 1 Quote Chaos stalks my world, but she's a big girl and can take of herself.

You might just presume a glitch dropped your sign-up, and try re-signing-up as if it were your very first time (Praxian UnicornTribe jokes optional).

Atgxtg can testify I do a mean line in very low puns - a skill honed by several years playing Bushido from FGU and being able to make "Head" & "On" jokes and puns go as gags for week after week. I tried resigning but got referred to updating my details which looked ok so fingers crossed and see what happens next.

7Tigers Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I would say that there is no real need to resign as, as David Scott reminded us, all the files are available in an unique dropbox folder, url being given each time. So, if you ever received one email, you should have access to everything. I just checked and nothing has been erased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHibbs Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 It can be difficult to work out which file is which in a Dropbox folder as it never shows the full name of a long file name, especially if you are browsing on a mobile device. When I open the link, "Rune Fixes" is the second file in the list, and the "Rune Metal and Magic Crystals" document is the 12th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have access to all the preview files posted, but there's information in the e-mail messages themselves (like the Bestiary release date that Furry Fella was asking about) that isn't included in any preview file.
