Is it just me or are email notifications from phpBB.com very slow? Sometimes there's almost 10 hours between a posted PM or CDB question and the email being delivered to my hotmail account.

Wait, those still exist?!

No problems here, but I also run my own Exchange server, so there's that...

No problems here either. Maybe they're newly registered users having their posts approved some time after they actually post?

That can't be the thing with PM's, can it? Especially with a PM conversation.

while we are used to mail being instantly arriving, it never meant to be like that :). However, in general it should arrive within hours, in general I get the mails in less then a hour after a PM or reply was posted. Can you check the headers to see if it was delayed at a specific mail server, or if it was actually send late?

Posted at 18:16 in my timezone, mail sent at 18:24, received it at some time during the night while I already replied. For the last post, posted at 09:34 I still haven't got a notification. It's now 23:11 here.

Is there a reason that in the Extension Requests forum it has
FORUM PERMISSIONS wrote: You cannot post attachments in this forum
I can post attachments in the [3.3.x] Support Forum so why not in the Extension Requests forum?

That never made sense to me. Even General Discussion allows attachments and it's technically the non-phpBB forum.

I always thought the original reason was to prevent someone from attaching extension source to a request topic. Extension source is supposed to go through channels.

I've enabled image attachments for that forum now.

While there is no doubt that this is not intended, I feel a sentence at the website a bit discriminating.

English is not my first language. Why should I use another Forum, just because of that fact.

My suggestion:
