"Would You Like To Buy Some Magazine Subscriptions?"





After days of configuring, we've finally managed to get subscriptions working properly.  If you checked your email box you already know this because you likely received 900 emails at once as all the notifications queued up over the last week were batch-sent in one massive climax of SMTP server intercourse.

Sorry about the mess.

To configure your subscriptions, go to the "My Account" menu on the left and select the "Subscriptions" tab.
