The few flaws of this awesome board are:

[Ryan]

my sister said she tried to register for this site (not that I want her to) and she hasn't received her confirmation email yet - I know I ran into similar problems - any chance other members have tried to register and haven't received anything, keeping them off the site? Could be why our numbers are low...

Yes, we've gotten a few emails telling us the same thing. If we're not given the screen name, I ask for it and manually activate them.

Give me your sister's screen name and I'll activate it for her.

I don't know what's wrong with the email thing. Some people it works fine for and some not. Check the spam folder too though just in case.

[zazthespaz]

Nah she's ok, she didn't really want to join, but she said there was no (obvious) way to contact an admin about the problem and she tried two different email accounts. So we may have a bunch of members in limbo unable to join.

[Ryan]

Hmmm...okay. Thanks. I thought it said to contact site admin and gave our email address. We'll definitely look into it.

[zazthespaz]

It might say that, my sister is a blonde so...

but thanks!

[Jim]

Turns out Zaz noticed this before I did... Who'da thunk?

You hate getting on with your phone? Fall out then... Blame it for leaving the toilet seat up or something

[Jim]

Oh, no.

[zazthespaz]

I accidentally subscribed to general discussion and even though I unsubscribed via the link in the email 3 days ago I still get email updates in bulk dated from a few days ago. I've unsubscribed twice.

[Jim]

Ok hang on

[Timotheus]

Yea, I'm getting a mail for every post made in the Randomness thread too. I'm glad the board hasn't been that active the past few days..

[Jim]

just looked, wasn't subscribed to GD, subscribed to 2 other threads i wasn't getting emails for oddly enough though...

[abw1987]

Ah, sorry - I didn't read your message well enough. Thought you were only getting Total Randomness notifications.

If you go to the GD forum, at the top left underneath the "New Topic" button there should be an "Unsubscribe forum" link. Give that a try and let me know how it works for you.

[zazthespaz]

Only the subscribe button is there. I did click an unsubscribe link in the email on March 4th or 5th, but the emails I'm getting are dated March 1st within the email (not on my email provider's receive date). Could it stem from the same problem that the confirmation emails aren't being sent maybe?

[Ryan]

no, doubtful. that was due to our host not allowing us to use an outside email address (@gmail.com). we needed to make one with our domain name (@thealterbridgenation.com).

i think it's the 2% rule again.
