The email and subscription system is now working.
If you have enabled notifications for an agora/specific topics you will get notifications when someone starts a new topic or replies to an existing topic - you will get an email notification.
Hopefully by the end of this week, we will have the notification system fully installed in Atrium itself.
then it's just a matter of dealing with bugs and some upgrades from then on.
Also, Stream needs to be rebuilt but we can regard Connect and Discuss as functional pending upgrades.

Re: Email system now working
Will it be turned off as the default setting for everyone and everything, so that people would need to turn it on to get those emails so that they don't end up getting annoyed by sudden inundation of their inboxes?
It is probably good if something once in a while tries to remind people that they have an account and could post, like sometimes people forget they even have accounts at places they may othereise have been using, but then a lot of people probably don't like too much stuff that changes things for them, like noticing changes when they check their inbox.
That is only because this site might benefit from activity eventually, while other subscription and membership type things might benefit from people forgetting they exist while they keep charging.
There has seemingly been a major shift in the online habits of most people, and it seems to me like forums have really gone out of fashion as the now older people who used them are either stuck on some or are moving on and cutting off from the increasingly stressful internet experience.
So many people have really limited their contact with anyone and have drastically reduced their friend groups, even to the point of totally isolating themselves and feeling paranoid about getting into arguments over things, opting for no chance of such by having no intimate contacts at all, besides maybe ocassionally some family members.
Many of the people I had on my contact list were from forums and none seemed to be purduing any forums or online communication overall anymore. Their interest and stamina for such seems to be nil, and even their curiousity in matters has been sapped and they don't do anything creative, as even thinking about things and writing about them can be creative. This is a period of zombification like I've never seen before, where people are aware of the depressing news coming in through any opening and are paralyzed feeling, not knowing what to do and not seeing much value in doing anything because the projections are so uncertain. Similarly, not only birthing anything in the way of projects or ideas, but also not birthing anything at all, as the uncertainty and outright violence and poverty is making people, probably wisely, not want to take on any more things, including taking care of children and probably pets too, but I haven't reviewed any statistics on pet ownership drops, but I think that it would make sense if people are basically dumping all they can from their ships, while holding on to other things that don't take as much care or attention.
Taking on a forum and email notifications might be the last straw for some people who are preporting having way too much on their plates and palettes after over-doingbit with subscriptions, possibly during the Covid years.
The best option for people, though it is unlikely to occur just yet, would be at the very least closing off the stream of paralyzing stuff from the news, which is being used as material for entertainment, so is permeating even the leisure time of people through other indirect sources, and YouTube and similar things like TikTok, Reddit, and other social media has become the low effort entertainment for people with reduced energy, time, and resources, so one can seemingly save money by holding a little tv in their faces that thry are paying for anyway if they have the internet or are otherwise finding available somewhere and have a device for viewing things.
I can practically guarantee that a person living like we were, or at least older people were a few years ago, without these things, in much more ignorance about the latest horrors, would be so much more happy and less anxious, like I think that this stuff is making people get rapid heart palpitations and is making them short tempered and much of it is illusiry, its like watching a screen showing an anmmal being tortured in a box somewhere and being unable to do anything about it, but being hunan and having natural empathy it is unavoidable to feel distressed at the input, and then being all the more likely to lash out oneself or being on edge, but nowhere very closely around most of us is anything much happening most likely, so it is like an illusion, but being affected by it then the things do potentially start happening around if people infected by such end up agitated and acting out, and the people that are more likrly to react first are the ones who are inebriated with reduced inhibitions or more vulnerable due to things like medications or mental issues. Do I've been hearing the police over here more activated than usual, and violent sounds with some people using thrir carss to make violent sounds and taking dangetous actions with their cars, seemingly coincidong with heights in stressful news reporting even though such pertains to places that aren't even nearby or in the same country.
