I got my e-mail notification at 5:04 am and so I came to the Village to share, and found that Fab4 had posted this 3 hrs before (as shown by the Village system).

So, this begs the question; why did I get my e-mail 3 hrs after Fab4? I realize that SG has an extensive e-mail list and there may be limits his provider has put on him, i.e. only x number of e-mails sent per x amount of time. Does anyone in our community have any insight into how this works on large scale e-mailings, inquiring minds want to know.  :)

I sometimes wouldn't get my update until after 7.  It usually showed up before 6.

Some might be to do with what servers the email has to go through? I don't know but I can say that 15 years ago my friend sent me an email and I never responded.. so he mentioned it while we were on the phone.. turns out I never received any email from him.. that is until 10 years later..😂 so email can take a tour of the world just the same as USPS I guess.. I have no clue how that email took 10 years to be delivered but they are not always instant like many people think coming from someone that does a lot of emailing with customers etc.. Heck I have two emails.. well.. maybe more than that but I have sent myself emails of photos etc.. and in some cases it has taken 2 days for that to actually come through.. most times it's only minutes but there have been a few times where it has taken a day or two..

I really don't have an answer to the time delays in messages,
but just wonder if different time zones has something to do with it
Or,
Is it because we never did get the snowflake effect this year
on the screen that annoyed quite a few....LOL
All I did was copy and paste the message and just glad I was able to post it

Paul,

     It's not the different time zones. :) When I got my e-mail (g-mail) it was at 5:04 am, I immediately logged into the village, and then looked at your message, the time stamp read "Posted 3 hours ago". On all the messages just to the right of the screen name is a little blurb indicating when the message was posted, not a time and date stamp, but a "this long ago" indicator. 

     I am just curious, that's why I asked for someone with experience in this sort of thing to respond It's all good, just my curiosity again
