2 - 3 times Jan 21

Which, in a way, amazed me considering the X-thousand members this site has.

Given the issue with missing ProZ notifications... Jan 21

... I don't know. I have been informed about it in the past but I don't remember how often - 2-3 times perhaps, long time ago, though.
PS: It did not lead to any new opportunity or contact, btw.

A few times, I don't know. And it's not like it ever led to anything so I'm not sure there's really any point to it. There's no particular reason for being the featured pro that I can tell, so there's no reason for a potential client to click on your profile and send a message about a huge well-paid project.
