Alerts Seem To Be Fixed....

Hi folks,

A bunch of alerts got dumped into my e-mail inbox overnight and I just had someone send me a test PM to see if it would be delayed, but the alert for that hit my inbox as soon as they sent it.

If stats are the only thing broken now, I can live with that a helluva lot more than I can live with story alerts being delayed as blazes.

Can anyone else share if they've experienced the same fixed situation? :)

And now for a rant about something that isn't broken.

Hey, hi there, FFN devs. Just thought you'd like to know: There's this thing called an interrobang, which doesn't exist in most fonts but is commonly represented with a question mark next to an exclamation point. It's used to end sentences that express both intensity and questioning. Can you make your don't-overuse-punctuation algorithm account for this, please?

Yeah, it's so not-broken, it is, in fact, working exactly as intended. Just, the intended working is kinda dumb.

Hell, I can think of legit uses for two exclamation points xor question marks.

Three is right out, though.

Should I bother suggesting that they change it? Are they even going to consider it? bah.
