I recently got an email notification when the GM posted a private thread for another player the email contained the contents of the private thread

Note to players and the gm in the game in question while I noticed it presence I did not read what the private thread contained

What thread? When? Which forum?

here is a link to the thread http://www.myth-weavers.com/showthre...t=61474&page=6
the email was sent at 01:07 this morning (9 may 2009)

Dear something random,

Mindblow has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - Meeting up - in the A New World forum of Myth-Weavers.

This thread is located at:

Here is the message that has just been posted:
***************
[privatge=ethrael] Staring down at the lines they dont seem to form much of a pattern, each seems to be leading off in a different direction for a hundred feet or so before they end. However as you fly up you notice a leather satchel around 50 ft away from the smoldering campfire, seems someones forgotten something. [/private]

There may also be other replies, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again.

All the best,

The problem here is that the private tag was broken in the initial post, which was then edited to fix it; however, the email was already sent. If you notice, in your message, it says [privatge instead of [private.

The thread is not private at all which explains why you can subscibe to it, if it were you wouldn't be able to see it and there fore should have no way you could subscribe for emails.

The second point is that the email contains a private tag which has a typo in it, therfore not being private to anyone. The default behaviour of private tags was changed recently, not entirely sure how it should behave now if you only specify a single name but that name is invalid. Ideally it should treat it the same as when it has no names.

Finally, Rigo, can we change the system back to how it was before the upgrade so that edits have no time period before they show. I would have spotted this sooner had the edit been visible, my life would have an extra 3 or 4 minutes in it.

Edit: damn you Sith. Ninjad coz I had more to say.
