Stakeholders = guinea pigs

Although technically the stakeholders list was converted a little while 
ago, I'm going to use it as the guinea pig list for the conversion 
message.

Stakeholders *is* cleared for metadiscussion, so you may reply on-list 
(just don't quote your password back). If there's something in the 
conversion message that you think is unclear, or that will make your 
players/readers panic, let me know.

Likewise if you can't figure out the profile stuff, can't get logged in, 
or have other ideas.

Of course, if you don't get a post titled "Phoenyx software conversion" in 
the next little while, let me know that, too.

How little a while are we talking about?  It's been 18 hours (in
theory) since you sent that.

Ah, I see.  For some reason the list and the conversion emails were
sent to different addresses.

Interesting....

Right, the message went to the Firehawk-version distrib list (which means 
anyone who signed up since the conversion will have been missed, but I 
don't think anyone has), and the list's been running under Gamehawk for 
some time.

Essentially what can happen is this: you're subscribed under List 1 with 
one address, and under List 2 with another. Lists under Firehawk are 
independent. I run the big ol' conversion, which manages to figure out 
you're the same person, so rather than decide between the two it markes 
them *both* as "primary."

Lists under Gamehawk are interrelated... group- (actually topic-) specific 
subscriptions just say whether you want single or digest (and eventually 
whether you want text or html) messages. It goes and looks up in the 
shared profile what addresses to actually send it to.

So back when I moved Stakeholders (and GAMERS), I went through and made 
sure all the current people had only one primary address (because the 
tools to fix it weren't public yet)... and I may not have picked the one 
that was their current Stakeholders subscription. GAMERS may have the same 
problem, but for current subscriptions (everything but here and GAMERS), 
people will just see multiple primaries, and if they don't fix it, they'll 
get multiple postings from a list.

I need to make a FAQ page for that sort of thing.

Looks pretty slick! Is there currently a way to change our 
avatar/icon/graphic?

No, I keep forgetting to do that. Next release, maybe.

In the meantime, if you mail me one I'll put it up. Eventually I think 
I'll want 120x120 (which it'll resize to 80x80 or 40x40 in different 
spots), but for now just the 40x40.
