Why has the Name on the emails from the email blaster service changed from "Pocket PC Thoughts Team" to just "Team"?

And the subject of the Weekly Digest came through as "$SITE_NAME Weekly Digest: October 3rd, 2003 (html version)".

Has something gone wrong with the email scripts?
or is it just happening to me?

Cheers

It's not just you, I got the same thing. The problem is with the search-and-replace thing. Spammers use it to get your own name in the subject line and even phpBB (this forum software) uses templated files and replaces keywords in them with posters names, avatars, total posts, etc. from a database. I assume that there is a glitch where the search & replace on the mass-email got messed up and didn't work correctly. :wink:

It got buggered up, and we're fixing it. :|

Jason, you lost me with that highly technical jargon. Did you have to remove the server case and let the creepy crawlies scuttle out?
