Just today I found out that fastesttruck found a workaround for the union telegram system. If your union is smaller, you may not have this problem, but when larger unions send out telegrams, the messaging gets cut off at around member 2,130, at least for my union. I've tested it and it has cut off around that number the last six times I've tried it. Once it cuts off a "500 Internal Server Error" message pops up. Here is a quote of me describing the workaround to the members of my union.
GameSpot implemented a feature where if you post about another member in a blog comment, you can let them know by typing @ and then the user name of the person. For example, if I went into my blog and typed @Sentinelrv in the comments, I would receive an automatic message from GameSpot quoting and linking to the comment. As far as I know, it can only be used with GameSpot blogs.So what I need to do is compile a list of all 5,025 members in alphabetical order and put @ before every user name. Then I would post any union telegrams to my blog, or at least link to the union telegram from the blog. The final step would be to copy and paste the entire 5,025 member list in the blog comments and everyone will be notified. It will probably take an entire day to compile the list. I've heard it takes about a half hour to finish posting a telegram for a union that has about 3,500 members, so maybe add 15 minutes to that. It might be a lot more work, but I think it's worth it if we're able to communicate again with all of our members. To see what I mean, post @YourUserName in one of your blog comments and you will receive an automatic message quoting and linking to the comment.Sentinelrv
You should send out a telegram notifying leaders of this method.
