It seems like #Signal accounts have to be recreated after some amount of activity; I know several people who had used Signal a year ago or so, but then recently my client said I'd need to invite them and they said that they seemed to need to setup their account again. Is this behavior actually documented and/or explained somewhere? I couldn't seem to find anything authoritative on a quick search. #lazyweb
@link2xt Thanks, I appreciate the pointer! I hope for the sake of others that they have it documented somewhere *other* than the source code, but at least now *I* know.
