The newsletter was supposed to go out today but unfortunately there are delays due to some technical errors. Fingers crossed, it'll be out by Friday (which should be a couple of days before the contest itself).
I'm thrilled to announce a long-overdue major revamp for the TCS articles section! :clap:
It may look a lot like what we used to have but we've changed the infrastructure that holds the articles, allowing us to upgrade, edit and add to the new articles with more ease. We're now going through all...
Thanks for the feedback @white shadow
We'll adjust the link color, this wasn't supposed to happen and I think just skipped everyone's notice. I'm visually-impaired myself but just hadn't noticed it so far.
As for translating links into hyperlinked words, there are several considerations there...
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Just wanted to let you guys know that we updated an add-on which may have had an effect on these notification issues. Hopefully, they should all be sorted out now. Thank you for your patience!
The pop-up should still be showing up (I just tested with my alerts preferences as well as my following settings).
Nothing has changed on our end over the past week. I wonder if this could be related to your browser? Can you make sure pop-ups aren't blocked on TCS?
To add to what Stephanie just explained - there were no changes in the platform over the past few days.
Please try adjusting the settings as she suggests and if things still aren't working as expected, let us know here - thanks!
Thanks for the report @Silver Crazy !
I am aware of the issue and we're working on fixing it. We're about to switch the entire article system to a new platform of its own (still on the site, just run by a different backend system) and that will allow us to re-embed all of the quizzes properly...
The simplest solution would be to use a different email address. Personally, since I switched to using Gmail, I've never had an issue with blacklisted IP lists, so I can recommend that one. You can set up a rule in your Yahoo account to send everything to Gmail. Or you could do the opposite, and...
We don't usually chase these things. Personally, I once changed ISPs for a similar reason but that's because they blocked a resource that I needed for work purposes. In my own experience, the tech support personnel who answered the calls simply had no way of getting the IT people to unban IP...
ISP's create their own blacklists based on reports from their users. These lists sometimes cover entire IP ranges, so a ban on our IP can be completely unrelated to TCS itself. It could be the result of a spammy campaign from a server that happens to be in the same IP range as our mail server...
Boy, am I glad this is a random choice among the entries! There's no way anyone could choose from all of these heartwarming stories and pictures :hearthrob:
The random numbers have spoken and we have our five winners!

Have you tried your spam folder @golondrina? It could be there. You could try running a search for thecatsite in your spam folder. To do that, just ran this query in your Gmail search tab -
in:spam thecatsite
Our winners in the random draw are... drumroll....
