Some questions for readers

I have noticed some things happening recently that lead me to ask some questions.

1a. If you are subscribed to follow WUWT via email, where you get emails advising you of new posts, are you still getting those emails? For example, a notice of this post?

1b. If you aren’t receiving those emails, are they in your SPAM filter?

2. If you are subscribed to WUWT via RSS feed, are you still able to read it in the reader of your choice?

3. Are you getting any sorts of SPAM, phishing, or “unsafe” website notices for any links that might be embedded in those emails or feeds?

Please leave answers yes/no in comments.

The reason I ask is that WordPress recently flagged WUWT as a high traffic site, and added extra advertising, for which I get a few cents per click. But, at the same time I’m wondering if that has come with a penalty in the form of a raised SPAM score due to that extra advertising.

As always, thanks for visiting and thanks for your support. – Anthony

Through RSS only, and whatever changed recently so I can read the whole posts inside google reader made me happy. No issues at all.

I don’t subscribe, but just wanted to say I support WUWT 100% and visit often. WUWT is among 7 other sites in my Google Chrome “new tab” page.

1a. I was subscribed but recently changed my subscription email address and they stopped working (probably something I did).
1b. Virtually nothing in either spam filter (the old account or new one). No extras in recent times. Certainly none of the WUWT notices or ads that I am aware of.
2. Don’t use RSS for anything anymore.
3. Same as 1b
I don’t miss not getting the email notices because WUWT is the first site I go to in the morning to catch up with the news that matters for the day! Besides you and your guest contributors are becoming so prolific I have difficulty reading and digesting all the material.
I can only stand in amazement at the service that you are providing to the “neo-enlightenment” Anthony… please keep up the good work and I’m pleased to see you making some income from all the effort other than from donations.

I have had some problems using Internet Explorer v8 which is my preferred browser (I know, I know). It would hang when trying to load WUWT (I would have to go into Task Manager to close it down) although it was fine with everything else. I used Firefox to read WUWT for about 10 days or so, and then suddenly about a week ago WUWT started loading normally with IE.

1a. Yes and yes.
1b. Haven’t had anything sent to the spam filter.
2. N/A
3. Haven’t seen any problems. Ads do not generally come through in the email notifications.
