Hi, newbie just signed up!
I initially tried to join last Sunday, but the confirmation email never turned up. I tried creating another account, but the same happened. I then tried from my wife’s laptop using a different domain, but again no confirmation email. Checked all Spam folders.
Got a friend to try tonight and he said he had no problems, so I tried again with a googlemail address and it has worked. Now changed the email address to me normal domain and it is still working.
I’ve been using internet forums a long time and I’ve never had problems like this – any idea what’s gone wrong?
Hi!
Yep, apologies to anyone trying to sign up recently as my host banned the PHPMail function from their servers as they found it was being abused by spammers. This problem was resolved yesterday so I hope that things are running more smoothly now. The idea is that these servers are now less likely to be blacklisted by email providers as all outgoing mails now have to be SMTP authenticated.
I did actually manually approve your other account, drop me a pm if you have any more probs 🙂
Hope things are running better now, and thanks for sticking with it! We’re only a small forum and we need all the new members we can get!!
Cheers.
