A small live update today fixes the issue with the Contact form I wrote about earlier.

I'd love to say this is a humbling bug - but it really is a very stupid mistake - which caused the contact form to silently stop working throughout the summer!

What happened is I was working on a separate branch to experiment with SMTP email sending via GMail. As part of the changes I updated the way the emails are formatted in the private config files. Since the private config is not part of the public repository, it is not versioned. When I switched back to the "main" branch, the configuration maintained these changes while the rest of the code did not include them - this caused the php mail() function to receive incorrect sender name/email.

Fortunately this bug didn't prevent the account related emails from being sent, althought they would show up as coming from "K@gator1234.hostgator.com" or something like that... which doesn't look great for the user since there is no indication of the Kanji Koohii domain.

On the plus side I finally merged some of the changes that I'll need if I manage to add SMTP email.

I want to apologize to anyone who's taken time to send Feedback, perhaps some kind words, or even needed help with their account! I did not mean to be rude, I simply did not receive any emails at all coming from the Contact page over the entire summer!

This issue is now fixed. I double checked that I indeed receive the emails.... at long last.

I'll probably end up adding the email address to the Contact page for users who would rather use their own email client. The contact email is pretty easy to remember, it is similar to the website's url: kanji (dot) koohii (at) gmail (dot) com.
