ermo Well he does nag!
Postponing the sync?
tuxlover4 WetGeek the original post writer is mostly a forum user and does not , as I understand it , use Matrix .
This forum user has tried several times. He's installed Element from the repository, and always gets as far as this,
but the email never arrives. Not after waiting for a long time and clicking to resend it multiple times.
Is there a better way to try to get access to Matrix? I know emails need to propagate through the system, but usually that takes a few seconds, in my experience. Minutes at the most. Not hours of days.
WetGeek I get past the email part then they want some gigantically long 'security key' as part two of the authentication and I lost that as soon as they gave it to me. They even say "write down and save" but seems so silly to me on a personal level.
Lots of hoops for a souped-up IM...
I'm just going to listen to Solus news from the grapevine and carrier pigeon and the good folks who bring the news here...all other methods are fraught with mines
.
Still waiting for, "the link in the email we just sent to ..." Or the one from when I clicked, "Did not receive it? Resend it."
There's no question that the email account is active and accepting emails. It gets a new message every time someone from this forum replies to a message I've posted. But not a thing from Element.

Given that you (or your ISP) use the "spamexperts" service based out of the Netherlands, if I were you, I'd probably check both my spam folder and my client-side and ISP spam and filtering settings, given I don't hear about issues with matrix registration very often?
Alternatively, you can try to sign up for a matrix.org account via the in-browser element web-app (to rule out the solus package having an issue).

I'm not sure what would give you the idea that I don't check. I do that every time. It's possible that you don't hear about issues with matrix registration very often because folks just give up after a while. As I did the first time I tried to register.
I am thankful that this came up. I agree that a notice should be posted on this Solus Forum by Saturday latest, if there are any possible forthcoming problems with the updates. I drop in to the Element Matrix each day, just for fun.
I do not see value in using it as the main line of communication with Solus users, since messages scroll up and get lost. Here, a post can be pinned for all users to see, under a suitable heading.
I believe that the forum should be given the priority attention rather than the Matrix, or Twitter, or Reddit, or ......
I find Matrix suitable for interpersonal communication, rather than for group notification.
Thanks for listening! 
Should be synced now. 
am i the only one getting File integrity of https://cdn.getsol.us/repo/shannon/eopkg-index.xml.xz compromised.
Updates are Updates I would rather have a solid Update rather than one with issues If its delayed
so be it Quality rather than quanity.
I dont think its fair to get your hair in a frazzle when its delayed some but I can undestand concerning
previous events.
How when and why should be left up to developers but I agree if it bothers people we should be told for the
near future.
Way I see it we get em when we get em.
Hope I didnt ruffle any feathers.

Dunno if you're the only one, but I can say that I've updated two Plasma machines so far with 59 pacages each, and both went very quickly and with no errors reported.
Lucien_Lachance Some CDN caching issue most likely. Should be gone soon, but people are looking into it (also to prevent it in the future)

Axios How when and why should be left up to developers
Except, it is the developers that 'specified' that updates are to be expected weekly, and starting on Friday. This is why users are expecting them on those days, and are rightfully concerned when they do not show up, and there are no notifications in that regard. 
Yeah sorry, we didn't handle this ideally.
