The added mailer is fast but is appropriate only for small batches (since the work happens immediately when the KudoZ form is submitted, and the asker must wait for it to complete before moving on.)
The new service has been in operation for one day. Platinum members will have noticed a shorter delay between the time a question was asked and the time notice is received.
Meanwhile, we are working on crafting a more robust general mailer (non-platinum), with the goal of having all KudoZ emails leave our servers within 5 minutes of each question being asked.
As we work to improve the KudoZ.NET system, we will post explanations of changes here. Please comment and provide feedback if you wish. Thanks for your support and patience as we work to improve the site! ▲ Collapse

I haven\'t received any notification or kudoz for my answer selected some 12 hours ago. You mean I should go on waiting or consider it lost in the cyber ether? 
Besides, is there any reason by which I cannot add to the glossary terms which are not my answers? I clic on the link (add to glossary) but the dialogue box never appears. Has there been any change as regards this that I missed to read about?

I\'ve noticed mails take a long time...
I can see my BrowniZ but don\'t know which question they come from...
Thank you and regards!
Andrea :^)))

My email notifications have been a lot faster today than at any other time recently, so I hope the improvement is already starting to take effect.

This is awesome, Henry. The messages come now at an amazingly fast speed! Virtually instantaneously.
I am a happy camper.
Thank you,

I\'m glad that additional value is offered to Platinum members. I do think that increasing the attractiveness of Platinum membership is necessary (see the discussion about pros and cons of Platinum membership) - without however scaring non-platinums away, which I know is a tightrope walk.
I\'m looking forward to the day when you can again send out all notifications within 5 minutes.
Thanks a lot for your efforts!

It\'s so good to receive queries before they\'ve been answered and graded - thanks for the improvements!

The trivial trials and tribulations of translators are not yet over:
I have not received ANY notification of recent KudoZ questions in my relevant pairs, let alone a speedy one.
Yes, the system was a bit faster on Thursday (Dec5), but today (Dec6), it is slower than ever. Perhaps Proz should hire Santa\'s mooses to deliver all those KudoZ emails to our chimneys?

I just posted a question, went straight back to my email Inbox and it had already been notified to me (not as an acknowledgement of my posting it, but as a question to be answered). Most impressive!
