| 00:43 | <@macdjord> | Today in spectacularly stupid UI decisions: |
| 00:43 | <@macdjord> | Fanfiction.net: "You must now explicitly opt-in to receive email notifications when stories update!" (Okay, fine, seems reasonable.) |
| 00:43 | <@macdjord> | FF.net: "This includes existing accounts which have been receiving email notifications for a decade!" (That seems suboptimal, but I can see the idea...) |
| 00:43 | <@macdjord> | FF.net: "We've implemented this change without any email-based warning; you'll just stop receiving emails from us one day!" (Um...) |
| 00:43 | <@macdjord> | FF.net: "Also you have to manually re-opt-in every 6 months or they'll turn themselves off again! Or possibly every 90 days, depending on what bit of our own website you read!" (Wait, WTF?!?) |
| 00:45 | <@macdjord> | Or, actually, I suppose it's not so much 'Today in spectacularly stupid UI decisions' as '3 weeks ago in spectacularly stupid UI decisions', since, as I mentioned, they didn't announce this. |

| 02:26 | < Alek> | mac, this happened weeks ago. D: |
| 02:27 | < Alek> | oh. you noticed. sorry. |
| 02:27 | <@macdjord> | Yes. Somewhere around the 15th, based on the last email I got from them before I fixed it an hour ago. |
| 02:56 | <@celticminstrel> | Opting it is fine, but why reset it every 90 days? I don’t get it… |
| 02:56 | <@celticminstrel> | I suppose it’s nice that it tells you when you load the site too. |

| 03:01 | <@macdjord> | celticminstrel: No clue on the reset. Maybe if it was 'unless you visited the site every 90 days or something', that would make sense. |
| 03:01 | <@macdjord> | And I didn't see any notification until I found the option in the settings page. |
| 03:02 | <@celticminstrel> | I saw a message at the top of the page… just after the Twitter link. |
| 03:02 | <@celticminstrel> | It’s not there for you? Maybe it’s not on all pages… |
| 03:02 | <@macdjord> | I see that now. I didn't see that earlier. |
| 03:03 | <@macdjord> | I teeted them about email notifications being broken before I found the setting; maybe somebody noticed the tweet and set up a much-belated alert? |
| 04:06 | < Alek> | ffn has been breaking themselves deliberately for years now. |
| 04:06 | < Alek> | making themselves less and less attractive for authors and readers alike. |
