Class Notification Problems
Notifications to classmates at times are ocassionaly spotty. Meaning some have been delayed up to two days and some have been repeated 3 days later. I spoke with the company whom we subscribe for the RHS website. They have had inquires by other administrators like myself regarding notifications not being received by members. There has been an overload of activity by other high school websites that are sending out information on class reunions this summer. When you take 80,000 high school sites sending this type of info for several weeks… it can bog down those email providers like Gmail, AOL, Yahoo, AT&T, Hotmail, etc. They get totally swamped!! Many email companies cannot handle the load and many of their emails are delayed if not lost entirely. Some email companies are not providing enough resources to handle these loads. Wish I had solution for you. I do know some email companies are worse than others. Unfortunately, it’s not a perfect world… and computers are great, (when)…. they work.
I am hoping the reunion rush-hour will play itself out and the internet highway traffic starts moving again.

Here is a link with some "tips" on how to check your "Notification Settings" on your mobile phone or computer: Some times an email provider will block a site if they think too many emails like spam are being sent. This article will show you how to 'unblock' the RHS1962.org site.
