Title: Did you receive an APAT email?
Post by: APAT on January 01, 2009, 21:09:29 PM
We"ve signed up with a new emailing service as we had seriously outgrown our previous service.  Several thousand emails went out today, can those who have received mention so here. 

Also, for those that did, we sent the emails in text only format.  Is this okay, or would you prefer the more colour / pic heavy html emails?

If anyone did not receive an email, can you check the email details that you have previously given to us - through your profile - and update them there, plus send your new email address, with your APAT user id, to customer@apat.com.

Regards,

Des.

I received mine Des. 

For an email with that much info, it"s better in plain text than HTML.

Hi Andy.  Your email address is correct on the database so I must assume the email got spam filtered somewhere along the line.  Please add "customer@apat.com" to your address list and this may solve the problem.  The text of the email is above for info but hopefully our next groupwide email will get through to you. We will put the text in the forum also.

Regards,

Des.

Title: Re: Did you receive an APAT email?
Post by: HaworthBantam on January 06, 2009, 17:59:17 PM

From the Season Three Discussion thread......



Given that the first line of the press release says "Amateur Poker Association & Tour" and that there is no planned event involving pros, have we reverted back to the original branding/name?


Simplistically, yes.  Pros are still very much welcome to join and they will be represented on the APAT Association board which is the current priority after the Season Three launch details are all finalised.  It is extremely likely there will be a professional series in Season Four - whether that is APAT's own pro events or events we endorse and add to our calendar from the existing pro tours.  That may bring about a future change in the sub branding, as S2 did.
