Default Mod please help - ISP not getting notifications
I haven’t been able to get e-mail notifications to my normal e-mail addy from this forum, ever since the new look website was implemented. I can get notifications to my hotmail address (but that is really inconvenient for me), so I’m sure I haven’t made a mistake in the setup. I assume therefore that they are getting cut off somewhere else, so I’ve asked my ISP to troubleshoot his, and they say that there's nothing coming into their server from CBRforum.com.

PLEASE can one of the mods put their hand up and give me their contact details so my ISP tecchie can contact them to troubleshoot this? THANKS!!! Feel free to have a look at my CP but I reckon everything's OK, including instant e-mail notification, address etc etc etc.

Its your email address ...( my .au Aussie email do not work either.. )
Quite a few different country domain extensions are not getting email notifications.....

Its easier and I think more convenient to just go get a free hotmail account and use it to collect them ...
http://home.live.com/

Takes a few minutes
problem solved ...
Keep a browser open to your hotmail account and they just keep piling in without drama ....
and it keeps the million notifications out of your local email client too :-)

What Classic said ... I have brought this issue up with the tech peeps but so far no solution. Any extension beyond, com, net, gov or edu just gets lost.

Hey guys, I'm from Gearloose's ISP. I have tried looking into the problem. It's weird because nothing seems to be hitting our servers from the notification address. I am a bit stumped here, but who knows, could just be the internet being itself :P

That's right ... nothing even gets sent..

I mentioned this issue a while ago and was of the opinion that an allowed to "send too" setting within the script it self was in need of re setting ...

The hotmail accounts are like a generic .com and prolly are a "std allowed" email addy within the script...

Hey, thanks guys/girls.

OK, so 2 suggestions to the mods or whoever runs the system:
1. In the FAQ, tell us earthlings that anything other than .com .net .edu .gov etc address won't work (will save more people interrupting the mods' from their work/play)
2. Point out to whoever designed the forum that the world is wider than just the US of A! Honestly, why TF would the forum designers design it that way???? Are there too many subscribers and they want to cut the numbers down????

Its a pia maintaining other addresses - I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that.

Like I have stated, they are aware of the problem. Not sure if they know life exists outside the USA though.

You're telling this to someone who has no less than 15 separate email addys going at any given time (and prolly needs more to keep things straight) ? I don't know how you exist with only 1

AOL Emails have had issues for years with some internet software ( PHP driven )websites like this one )

Grab a free hotmail and all will be well ...

We've known about AOL for a while and I think it's in a FAQ somewhere on here. That is their fault ... they wanna be all proprietary and crap Hotmail, gmail, and yahoo work and are easy pleasy ...
