I just pulled a funny and had to tell somebody...debated whether to just tell the AF staff or the entire public because I didn't want everybody to point and laugh at me, but lucky for you guys, I have no dignity  So...I'm setting up a mass email to let everybody know about the Forum of the Month submissions. I type the message, set up all of the groups, etc...and click send. It appears to be working, until...it stops at user #410, stops, and says complete! That's when I say, nuh-uh, you're not finished yet...keep going. It doesn't. I go back and double check all of the settings...they appear to be correct. Hmmmmm... That's when I realize, DOH - I sent out the email to our member database in our test forums (which has a current database which was made when we were at 410 members)....needless to say, I came back to our actual, live forums and sent the email once again, but this time to all members after #410... oops...the stupid things I do...I'm fortunate though, it could have been worse...at least everything appeared correct from the member side
