    Hi guys/gals,

    Please check you have the correct email address registered on the forum as we are getting a lot of bounce messages.

    To do this, click on your username at the top right (where you will see Inbox, Alerts), then click on Contact Details.

    Thanks!

    Hi, I need some assistance if possible. Yesterday my wife tried to register to this wonderful forum, but is yet to receive the email to finalise her registration. I just wondered what we needed to do to rectify this?

    Many thanks,
    Nick

    For some reason I have stopped receiving email alerts, I do not know if the two are related. All my settings are correct.

    Are you with Hotmail/Outlook/Live? If so, we are having problems with Hotmail servers rejecting our emails. Trying to find out what the problem is.

    Ahh, okay, yes my alerts go to my Hotmail account.

    Thanks for the info Rob.

    Jen and I are also using Hotmail so this might explain why Jen has yet to receive her confirmation email. We will keep an eye out for it.

    Thanks Rob

    She is a registered member, and apparently she had an account previously on an email address that is so similar it has to be her, she must have forgotten her account details?

    Ok, update from our hosting provider:

    28 Feb - 09:17 - We are still in contact with Hotmail, this is still being treated as a top priority. We will post any updates here as they come.

    26 Feb - 22:38 - Our Operations Support team report that discussions with Microsoft are ongoing presently and no ETA to the resolution is available at this time.

    Well we tried to register using her regular email address, and when we didn't receive the registration email we created another email address and tried to sign up to the forum again. But we still didn't receive an email this secondary account.

    It seems they are both Hotmail accounts, so that explains why the confirmation emails are not getting through, we hope to have this fixed asap.

    The forum has recently received a lot of Yandex.com/Yandex.ru emails attempting to sign up to this forum.

    From today, all sign-ups from Yandex will be automatically deleted. Please use another email service, such as Outlook, Yahoo or Gmail.

    I don't think we've ever let a Yandex email address in :)

    Just a reminder guys and girls, please use a valid email address when signing up to the forum. It is important that you activate your account on the forum before you post, this is done by following the activation link in the email we send you. Thank you.

    We are now deleting accounts that sign up with an email account that doesn't exist. Thank the nice spammers for that. Having said that, most spammers are automated bots, so they can't read this.
