Don't AWStrack me, Bro

Community email notifications contain links to the post or “private” message in the form of View topic or Read message, however instead of linking directly to the Community, they all link to 3r5r0yq.r.us-west-2.awstrack.me.

Please stop using AWS or any other tracking for Community notifications.

If you want analytics, then collect them at the 1Password-operated system which we use and trust.

 

PS. The links are actually white text on a blue pill, but it appears that the forum colour options on that end of the spectrum are limited to various shades of teal, inconsistent with the Community’s one and only colour scheme.

Hi ​@AJCxZ0 👋

Thanks for flagging this! We were able to have this disabled by our platform vendor.

Thank you, ​@1P_SimonH. I see that the links are now to the web site.

Concerning my comment on colour options, I missed the fact that in addition to the idiosyncratic palette choices, it is possible to choose More colors… and provide the RGB hex value for any color we like. Now we only need a <BLINK> and we can turn our posts into GeoCities pages.

Might we change the offered palette?
