Argh.
In late July I posted on a web forum that I was looking to share a room for ACRF. A few days ago, having gotten no replies and no e-mail about it, solo reservations were made. This morning I finally noticed the subtle notice that I had a private message waiting to be read on this forum. It had been sitting there since the 10th and I simply never noticed it. I've since changed settings so I ought to get an e-mail alert about such messages. I guess I'm still somewhat used to a different web forum where private message alerts are were more obvious.
I don't know if this will change whether or not the other person can make it to ACRF and I'm not sure what my reaction ought to be. I was the one asking about this and I was the one who didn't notice the reply. Yet this person and I have both been signed into IM quite often between then and now and I'm a bit surprised that my lack of an earlier reply didn't give cause to ask me what was going on.
