This has nothing to do with the new server I'm looking at, guys. ;P
It would've been much less confusing for me if you simply left a new message on my profile rather than replying to this one. As for the change with notifications, that's IPS's doing. Looks like they snuck it into today's upgrade.
I'm not worrying, I'm just curious. I'm interested in all things computers and computer related and web hosting is one as it's a useful thing to know and also quite interesting. I'm always looking to learn something new.
