Announcements: Email Subscriptions

Posted Dec 30, 2024 6:35PM EST

We're adding more features that will include email notifications, so I added a system to let members subscribe and unsubscribe from all the types of email we send. At the bottoms of messages, you'll now see a link that takes you to a page which will unsubscribe you from that type of mail, and present a link to quickly sign you up again if you clicked by mistake. You can manage all your subscriptions at once in your profile settings at https://oldergay.men/settings.

Doing this has been a two-week slog that uncovered a lot of tangential problems in the process. After I pushed the changes up to the site last night, a few things broke, most notably sending email notifications of new messages (though the messages themselves still went through on the site). I'm sorry for the rough sailing; I fixed everything today, and will keep patching as new leaks spring.

I'm glad to have this in place and to get back to the new features that will take advantage of it. Hope all your projects are wrapping up happily and the new year has exciting adventures ahead.
