Thanks. What stung so much last year was that the Guild was suffering catastrophic scaling issues while I was AWOL. Performance is now my #1 concern next to data retention (I still sob when I think about the data loss of December 2013).

The notification sytem will start out pretty basic. But it will at least let me migrate from showing total PM count to just showing unread PM count. I'm also keeping it generalized so that I can eventually support notifications for things like:

- Mentions. Maybe something like `[@]El Taco Taco[/@]` and when you're quoted in a topic.
- New posts in subscribed topics.

Thanks for mentioning. I can see all of my personal convos as well, so it must be a more local issue. Off the top of my head, maybe Fallenreaper's PMs were tagged by the old system's spammer countermeasures. I'm still looking into it, though. Sorry to Fallenreaper for the delay.

Sorry about that, Shienvien. Hopefully the workaround is good enough for now. 

I made sure the new parser is liberal about honoring line-breaks.
