A Message to Subscribers

An Update on Updates

by Hunter Isham

2ND UPDATE: As it turns out, that delay of 1.5 to 2 days was likely just the system getting warmed up, as it now seems to email within hours of a fresh post! Hopefully this will be the last update, as everything appears to be in working order. The first update and original post are below.

UPDATE: Good news, everyone! The subscribing system seems to be working, albeit slowly. If a test run I did with this very post is any indication, it appears the system will email you whenever we post new content here on the blog, but the email won't arrive for about a day and half to two days after that new content is posted. To subscribe, just type your email into the space to the right of this post where it says "Subscribe here for updates!"A window will pop up and prompt you to do what I like to think of as a "drunk test," essentially having you type what you see written among some strange looking letters. Once that is done, you will receive an email with a link that will allow you to confirm the subscription. These instructions are provided throughout the process.

        If you've been missing out on our reviews lately due to the previously faulty subscription system, check out the Review Archive page, where we have all of our reviews listed by each film in ascending order. Also, if you've been missing out on our podcast, it's available on the Podcast page, as well as through iTunes. Thanks for your patience as we resolved this technical issue. The original post is below.

ORIGINAL POST

        It's been a great couple of months for us here at the Darke, McPhaul, and Isham Review, getting our footing as we have embarked on this adventure. However, it has not been without its troubles, something to which listeners of our podcast can probably attest. One issue that may be plaguing you as a reader is attempting to subscribe via email to our blog, but ultimately receiving nothing. We have just recently become aware of this, and while we're not completely sure why this may be happening (or rather not happening), we are working on it. As of right now, we think we've solved the problem, but there's only one way to find out. Please try to subscribe once more if you were unable to on any prior occasion. If you still have difficulty, you can contact us at dmireviewstaff@gmail.com with questions, or to simply let us know it's still not working. Fingers crossed...
