Mass Email - OOPS!

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

I didn't send it to mods...It wouldn't be fair to let mods nominate themselves and vote for their own forums, now would it?

Because you are not a mod, you are an admin...I sent it to the admin group because I wanted to receive one for myself to ensure that everything looked alright

But, this isn't a question and answer session, everybody back to laughing and making fun of me!

If that's the worst that ever happens, you have NOTHING to worry about Ryan.
