Another possibility Sep 19, 2023

At the time the email was sent to you, the client set certain entrance requirements. They changed their settings in the meantime and you no longer qualify.

@Samuel, could that bug have been any bigger? It's 30 times its natural size.

Creepy-crawlies Sep 19, 2023

Some parts of the site appear to be in need of pesticides. Maybe they have been banned for ecological reasons.

Yesterday, I received a forum post notification for a 13-days-old post by the honourable member who started this topic.

Sometimes I have the odd but distinct impression that site staff 'have other plans' than ensuring the site works properly.

Lately, Sep 19, 2023

we don't appear to have access to anything, not even to a good laugh, just negative thinking.
I faced that same "bug" a few weeks ago, and I have seen it happening before.
