It finally reached our attention that siftbot's emails sent to Gmail addresses haven't been reaching their destination for a while! Google required that a change be made, and that's done so emails should be back in normal working order for @ mentions and similar activity-based notifications.

Apologies for anyone and everyone who has been hollering in comments at others but getting no response. 😢 (@eric3579, @ant, @newtboy, and everyone else)

In addition, I noticed that Sift Lounge has been broken, in that you could kind of load the page but never post any messages.

Just in case anyone decides to pop in, this has been fixed. And it now supports the modern emoji short tags as well. 👍

I'll probably be hanging out regularly now that it's working again, hoping to see other Sifters jumping back in there as well!
