We should be able to make the from address not be the user. I can look at that later.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, yeah, I can make the from field whatever I want. I've always had it be the user because that made intuitive sense to me (the user is being cc'ed on an email that they sent to votes@...).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Also worth noting that I've been getting all my gmail hours after it was sent today (as much as 6-7 hours in some cases), and I've seen other people say the same thing. So for gmail users, notifications may just be hung up because some server is having an asshole day.

Because books.
That's true! I got some email at 4 with time stamps from 11 and 11:30.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Yup, I was just coming in here to say that the notification finally showed up, about 7 hours after it was sent.

Yeah, mine's there now, too.

GO TEAM NOT US THIS TIME.
(Please ignore last night's outage, but I am not happy with DH's level of support. I have never had a ticket responded to during the outage--the penultimate outage was us using too much PHP memory--it's not their job to tell me why, but we didn't change anything, including load, so why would our PHP.INI suddenly need fixing? But that took IM to get addressed, and I waited 20 minutes before someone got to me--20 minutes of staring at the window seeing if they'd picked up yet. The other outages just "resolved" and I got a response saying "I have tested your sites and they seem to be up now, BTW you can restart your virtual server at this link:")

What do you want to do now? I love choosing Tumblr themes.

Score!
I think the best thing for b.info would be for it to look as much like default b.org skin as possible. I know you can do all the HTML, etc, but unless someone is willing to code that, I'm not up for more than maybe changing fonts and colours.
Something simple, streamlined, columns, few graphics would be good. As far as basic Tumblr good behaving, it's not like I'm expecting you to pick something that plays the Buffy theme at max volume, but clear page navigation is too often ignored--a template that shows tags and post times is also important.
I'd like to be able to clearly display the B logo, at least, and other Buffy pictures on future consideration, maybe.
Key thing is, though--I want it in the end to be clearly of a family with our design or Buffy-related at least, so flexibility to achieve that, or starting from a good place, as well as simple navigation, clear separation of posts so that readers can see the most recent what and the when right away, and then navigate backwards for history and context.
eta: I'm enjoying posting the pictures, but the text is obviously more important, so if a theme emphasises text strongly in picture posts, that's great.
I have no intention to link back here, though.
