      Great. As this is solved I'm going to lock the thread.

      @Marylander "The emails appear to be coming from theory@votingtheory.org" -- Yes, I set that. They have to come from some e-mail address, even if it doesn't make particular sense to reply to that address. Maybe I should set up a "no-reply@votingtheory.org" address.

      If I look into this, my first step will have be to update the code to the latest version.

      @Jack-Waugh @Marylander
      Sounds good to me.
      Thanks for looking into it. I don't think it's time sensitive or anything, just thought I'd flag it here as a feature request.

      Nice to have our categories all sorted out so clearly with a spot for these types of questions. 🙂

      I haven't had much time to engage here on the forum since we launched, but I've been sending people over and it seems like there are conversations happening!

      Looking forward to having more time to invest here soon.

      The primary domain name votingtheory.org is coming up as well, 08-13, $14/yr.

      I think that voting-theory.com (with the hyphen) and votingtheory.net are not worth renewing. Who is going to try them by mistake?

      I guess if no one else steps up to keep the money accounts, I will have to start doing it. Possible payment methods: Zelle transfer service (in which some banks participate), paper check.

      This issue is resolved, or at least, alleviated, as Eric Wilhelm has SSH access to the production and backup servers.

      Reporting of this supposed issue resulted from a user head-space error on my part. The text area has a handle from which it's possible to expand it.

      @jack-waugh said in Posts Not Being Noticed:

      I post in the section for new proposed voting systems and variants and no one responds, neither with support, nor opposition, nor expressions that my post is confusing or ambiguous. I suspect that the reason for this is that the software is not notifying them.

      I only see one recent post by you there. Maybe because the forum has low traffic?

      Also, that post doesn't seem like it is serious. I don't think that is inviting to people wanting a substantive discussion.

      @marylander Maybe the posts have links that point back there and your antivirus software is keying on those (even if you don't click the link)?

      @jack-waugh Do they pay anything? I'm sorta wondering why they deserve to be stewards of the forum... they've totally dropped the ball as far as I'm concerned.

      @jack-waugh said in Search Engines:

      Currently, the arrangements for my death estate are nowhere near properly set up

      No pun intended, but involving estates and such seems like overkill.

      There are so many simpler ways to do things. If this forum had 100,000 users, it might be different. If you died and no one had access to your account and you hadn't given out a contact of your next of kin, you know what would happen? We'd just stop using the forum. It isn't the end of the world.

      It could be as simple as getting new free email and godaddy accounts that you share the password with another person, and just sign an agreement with them that neither can change the password without agreement from the other (unless the other dies or doesn't respond for a long time).

      The only reason a lawyer is needed is if anyone contests it.... but who is going to do that? Nobody cares that much about this forum.

      Seriously, you are making things WAY to complicated. This sort of thing is done all the time.
