I just received over 100 email notices from SDMB, all at once, all about new posts on Wednesday (yesterday). Either my email program is screwing up or The Dope has a computer bug that just now cleared a backlog. I lean towards the latter, as other sources don’t seem to have been affected.

Anyone else have this happen to them today?

I was without notifications for a couple of days, and Tubadiva fixed me up when I cried out for help.
