The topic notification delay is due to a short-coming of the phpBB. The mail-queue is delayed and processed when people view pages on the board. The fewer the accesses the less likely it becomes that notifcations are send. Now I understand, why I sometimes got notifications the moment I viewed the forum.

I don't know why I didn't find that link sooner...

Generally it might help if you guys just click on links/topics of the forum for another minute after posting. The moment someone posts the time stamp on the queue file is updated and the forum might therefore "think", it just sent out a batch of mails, which of course it didn't...

I shall see if i can set up some cron-job, that calls the forum regularely in order to send notifies timely.

Lo and behold! teH toggle-able spoiler tag:

∑ Obviously there is something to say

and it can be hidden by clicking on it...

However it seems other phpBB code does not work inside the "toggle"

Im Ergebnis möchte ich also ableiten, dass es auf dem Rundfunkmarkt [u]weder[/u] ein Markt- noch ein Wettbewerbsversagen gibt. Das heißt streng [i]volkswirtschaftlich[/i], streng [b]ordnungspolitisch[/b] ist die Bestands- und Entwicklungsgarantie des Bundesverfassungsgerichtes nicht gerechtfertigt […]

Yay!

Can we have an 'out of context' tag too, please?

There is an "ooc" tag already. If it's some simple HTML you can manage go to the Admin Control Panel -> "Customise" and add a BBcode. Otherwise you'd need to explain to me what it's supposed to do.

An update yesterday to the latest Forum Version 3.2.2 failed, because it needs a higher PHP Version than this server runs at the moment. Not that it is really that important, but I am asking my hoster if he'd update php.

Then I deleted some old unused sub-forums. Moved some of their posts and deleted their remaining very old posts. No fear, there was really nothing much of value in there - I posted there for the most part.

Is that why I'm now getting notifications from a different email address? It startled me a bit the first time it happened.

[Jo']

Changing the return address is a pre-emptive attempt against spam bots... or so a paranoid part of myself wants to believe.
