Can you explain what this means?  

I just read the post about not being to send by email - my users use this almost EXCLUSIVELY and it is the main reason we selected Nabble quite a few years ago

There is no way I can find a replacement in a week - this could quite seriously put my subscription site out of business completely

In addition - the changes you have already made - has made it impossible for us to modify our members, and because there is no way to remove "registered" people - people who have not been on our site for years are now getting notifications.

We are seeing a large subset of messages apparently across all forum.world.st forums that claim to be deleted by their sender. I have no data on when this started happening, other than one member of the GLASS mailing list noticed it today.

Is this problem related to these changes that you've described?

[Israel <Nabble>]

No, it's not related to the latest changes.

[Richard Sargent]

Thanks. Have you seen anything like this (apparent mass deletions) before? Any ideas what's actually happening?

[Richard Sargent]

Hmm. I took a backup and examined what was there and it looks like the contents are still present in the node_msg table. That's good news, as it means we haven't lost the data.

A specific example for the first record I found in the forum.world.st backup was from the conversation  http://forum.world.st/Issue-5595-in-pharo-EllipseMorph-gt-gt-cornerStyle-is-missing-statement-terminator-td4553131.html. Its time stamp displays as  Apr 14, 2012; 2:47am. Its node_id is 4556899.

Perhaps this will allow someone to determine why it won't display the contents.

It is totally unclear to me what the consequence of this change is - could you please be more specific ?

Would that mean that nabble cannot be used as a frontend for mailing lists ?

I would appeciate if you could explain some more than just the two short lines that you posted...

Please Help!!!!

Since you made this change - people who were on our group and left - some many years ago - are now receiving notices/emails when something is posted. It doesn't matter if they were registered or not.  I tried Banning them all - but they are still getting emails.

Because the change has made it so I can't see their forum subscription status - I can't unsubscribe them - and they can't unsubscribe because our site is password protected.

PLEASE help me to stop the emails to these people who are no longer members. I still want the people who are - to get mail.  Our system had an update in the NAML to only send to those in the "member" group - but because of all the errors from the change- that isn't working.

Yeah right - what is the point of posting here ?   > /dev/null

Israel, please reconsider. The following change in UserImpl.java looks like it has the possibility to explain why unregistered users are reported with deleted content.

  public boolean isDeactivated() {
- return !isRegistered() && isNoArchive();
+ return !isRegistered();
  }

Do *any* unregistered users have no_archive==true? If so, what fraction?

Richard, where can you get to see that code?
