Where did the new mail system go to?

It seems like the new mail system is gone or I am unable to locate it.
Does anyone know what happened. I really liked the new mail system and the possibility to send mail to groups.

Things have gone very quite at Pbase the last couple of years.

Thanks.

Tim

Seems like there is no one behind the steering wheel at Pbase. I send a message and received a Level 1 automatically generated reply. Still no answer.
I've just renewed my pbase subscription, but are there still any people working there? It doesn't feel that way...
still waiting for a reply.

As the admins are now fixing a couple of recent issues on Pbase please also pay attention to this thread.
Please bring back the new mail system and let us know how long this is going to take.

Thanks!

I have the feeling that Pbase is already falling into old habits.
I've asked many times to Pbase (first time almost 6 weeks ago..) when I can expect to get the mail system back, but still not an answer...

Will this be in a day, a week, a month, a year? "We're working to resolve it" is to vague for me.
Please give me some serious feedback and a time frame!

Concerning my question (about the mail system) I got this reply.

Hello Tim,
I don't have a timeline when it will return. That completely depends on
our administrator. If I am able to get that information, I will pass it
along.
Thanks,

Seems like there is only one admin working for Pbase. Amazing...
I didn't dare to ask if he/she works full time at Pbase...

Hi Everybody,

The beta mail system is back online. We had to do some reconfiguring to make it available again. Once we have it back up for a little while, we will go ahead and make it the real mail system. Let us know if you have any questions, issues, or requests regarding the beta mail.

Thanks,
Emily

I guess I've missed all this. What/where is the "new beta mail" system? How is it accessed?

Good to see you Emily. I was concerned something horrible had happened since you've been MIA so long after promising to communicate. Glad all is well.

Sorry about that... the new mail system is available at http://beta.pbase.com/mail We haven't had anybody find problems with it, so it should go live soon.

I clicked on the link that Emily gave and correct me if I am wrong but is this really new? This appears to be nothing more than a private messaging system that all other forum sites have. Am I missing something here?

Compared to the old system, this is much more modern and there are new functions not available in the old one. We've always had PM at Pbase so I'm not sure what you mean. Having PM is not the improvement. The design and functions are. Btw, I like it.

Thanks Emily. I'm glad it's finally up and running again. Hopefully it will stay this way.
