PPRuNe email notification
I have noticed that all my email notification are coming from "PPRuNe Forums <[email protected]>" and looking at my email box I have receive the first email from this address on the 27/05/2022.
Those email are coming mainly from my subscribed threads.
With all malicious behaviours out there internet I was wondering if PPRuNe has been attacked/breached or if this is intended at all?
It looks definitely weird, I would expect email notification from PPRuNe to come from domain @pprune.org (it was coming from [email protected] up to 13/05/2022)
Can anyone clarify this?

[email protected] is the Webmaster’s email address, hence the use in notifications 👍

Internet Brands owns the site. They make money by selling all those lovely ads (and probably your details). The Mods are unpaid volunteers who work from their offices. The central control over the website is embedded in Internet Brands with one or two of their people looking after PPrune as well as a load of other websites.

They're massive. Generally the service seems good but occasionally they impose something new (and disliked by PPruners) across all their platforms (eg the "Trending" page a year or so back)

Yep! We oversee over a dozen sites in Travel & Leisure alone. A single email address helps us keep everything organized and another community manager can easily jump in if someone has to take off for whatever reason

I logged in yesterday as normal, and noticed that all the previous PMs had disappeared. This has never happened before. Whilst I recognise the need to save bandwidth and freely confess that some of those PMs were several years old, would it not have been more circumspect to have informed me that these PMs were about to be removed? In them were contained details that were important to me, and whilst I recognise that the details could (and should) have been copied and pasted to permanent files, the pace of life today is such that we are all guilty of forgetting to do even important things.
Surely a polite note explaining what is about to happen and giving me say, seven days to take what I wanted from the file is not too much to ask.

I am guessing that you are referring to the ‘Your Notifications’ tab at the top of the page, which appears to have lost its function? PMs are still available via the drop down menu ‘Quick Links/Miscellaneous/Private Messages’.

Have you cleared cache/cookies for the site? Are you on mobile or desktop device and are you on mobile/desktop skin? What browser? Can you attach a screenshot of what you mean?

Thanks for that. In all my years on this forum, I never had cause to use that previously. I see that everything is still there.

My Notifications Box
For the last week or so, my Notifications Box (top right of PPRuNe page) shows a zero in bold 0 and I am unable to access the box. Do our Mods have any idea of how to fix this problem? All help will be much appreciated! Many thanks.
