Please report any issues you are having with this forum in this thread. I will attempt to resolve them as quickly as possible.


Justy edit:

Yes, search is disabled. We know.

Minor thing.

Global Organization for Liberty and Defense is too many characters for the Alliance box in Profile.

I'm not sure if anything can be done about this, but the time is a few minutes ahead for me. Also, though I've set it to what should be the right time zone, it's an hour off, Anyone else notice this?

I rember there being a problem with certain email addresses getting the validation email before. Aparantly it's still here:


<anchova|val> any luck fixing the many injustices against poor defenseless me?
<Azural> Hm...
<Azural> Can you post or make topics?
<anchova|val> nope
<Azural> Alright.
<Azural> MSN, right?
<Azural> I'll say something in Thoreau's thread for forum problems.
<anchova|val> comcast
<anchova|val> and edison.edu (no idea what they use)
<anchova|val> thankies
<Azural> Alright.

There is a problem with the "Edit Profile Information" panel too. It is actually a problem I see in many forums. I tried to change my custom member title, but got an error message telling me I put in an illegal birth date, even though I left the birth date blank ("---" for all of them). It wouldn't allow me to change my custom member title without setting my birth date.

I'm not getting a validation email using the xs4all.nl domain. I tried 4 different email addresses but none of them worked.

I never got a validation email sent to my .edu email, but I changed my email to my yahoo and it worked.

Increased the character limit to 50. Try it now.


This should be resolved.


Some ISP's seem to be blocking our emails. My suggestion is to change the email to a webmail provider like Yahoo or Gmail and have the board resend the validation email, as those don't seem to have a problem. We are requiring a valid email to be able to post here, I don't see that being relaxed.

This should be fixed.

Have you tried one outside the xs4all.nl domain?

This will work 100% of the time.

Yess, otherwise i wouldn't be able to post. You can't post unless you respond to the validation email.
I doubt xs4all is blocking emails, but i could ask them if they do.

That was my point.

It is, tyvm.

Seems the forum has trouble keeping me logged in even when i check the remember me box.

When i edit in changes to a post that contains a poll, the poll gets reseted and the people that has already voted can't vote again.

you can't say skysc$%&@rs because it has the word r-a-p-e in it

I too, have the same problem.

I've tried to find a fix for that before, it can't be fixed. If you need to make a new poll for any reason, just ask for the old one to be locked.

skysc$%&@r darn it, see for some reason it sees the word r-a-p-e and edits it out i remember this happened before with g-r-a-p-e on the previous forums

Hmmm... An image in my signature does not work. Is it disabled for all new people using it?

Hello

I am having problems sorting out my avatar and siggy, the forum tells me i have no access despite signing up and activating the account?.

Image tags are down for the time being.

There seems to be an issue with some of the posts / dates on this forum.

Can you tell me why ? RP'ing or even making a decent sig is nearly impossible at worst or a drag at best.

You know why they're down. Stop spamming up the forums.

I wasn't well informed. Now I am.

The validation email isn't coming in.
My email is silvershark1313@aol.com, and it never sent. Could someone please validate Gameshark1313

I had an old account that used an AOL e-mail too. E-mail accounts don't work on this board, at least not for me. Check your spam folders maybe?

My email appears to retarded (either that or I am blind) but there is no visible Spam folder

The spam folder is in the "Manage Mail" topic in your aol mail screen. Then look to the left, it should say as one of the topics "Spam".

Am I missing something?

I cant see my resources or anyone elses. The Images dont appear.

The validation email for two people in my alliance both haven't arrived. They both have email accounts with GMX (a german ISP). They have checked their spam folders etc, but no validation emails have arrived. I can provide the account names, and email accounts info if requested.

Problem seems to be specific to certain mail domains.

That's very akward. On my aol, right under the "Sent" section, it says "Spam". I have no idea what's wrong to make the spam folder not show up. Did you try the official AOL program? Try on there.

[19:28] <Reyne[OG]> Get this. It logged me in.
[19:28] <DrDan|TOP> So far so good.
[19:29] <Reyne[OG]> Okay. I logged in, but it wouldn't let me post. So, I saw a resend validation link.
[19:31] <DrDan|TOP> Weird
[19:32] <Reyne[OG]> Still don't have an email.
[19:33] <Reyne[OG]> I tried to fix my avatar, it wouldn't let me do that.
[19:33] <Reyne[OG]> Until I click the validation link they send me, I'm screwed.
[19:34] <DrDan|TOP> Hrm, try re-registering lol
[19:34] <DrDan|TOP> I dunno
[19:35] <Reyne[OG]> Would you PM moderation?
[19:36] <DrDan|TOP> Yes, gladly.
[19:36] <Reyne[OG]> Tell them I'm not getting an email.
[19:36] <Reyne[OG]> It's the correct email too
[19:37] <DrDan|TOP> Did you check your junk mail folder?
[19:37] <Reyne[OG]> On my main, I don't have a junk email folder.

Ipso facto, she can't post and hasn't gotten a validation e-mail. (On behalf of Reyne)

Read the third quote and the response to it.

Thank you, Vivi. Can I just say how much I hate these new forums? I had to create a new email account. Who would have thought a freebie would do the trick? I've never had this problem before, but I'm glad it's over now.

The domain that the forum is sending the emails from does not have a MX record, nor any DNS entry for that matter. Most decent mail servers will not accept email from a sending domain that does not have a MX record.

This message appears when I try to change my profile info, avitar, and sig



I just registered, thus have had no previous access to my controls.

Thanks Mods/Admin

I made an account here with my original name from the old forums. But alas, I tried to use my aol email address, which as you can all see...that won't work here. If you use an AOL email address...you won't ever get the validation email. So, I go to gmail and make a new email account, and try to update the email address on my registered name. BUT... can't do that...cuz, I haven't validated my account yet. But..I can't validate my account until I change the email address I registered with. Talk about a vicious circle. So, I had to register yet AGAIN...with the new email address...but I can't register with the name I wanted to use and have always used..cuz, guess what, it's already being used (by some stupid person with an AOL email account I'm sure)
So, my question is..now that I have I vented...and boy do I feel better for it...is there any way...I can still use my original name...the one I want...even though it is registered with the AOL email address, that I can't change. Come on Vivi...you've bailed me out before...I'm counting on you!

"Empress Isabella"....but doomed to be just Isabella by the forum Gods


Oh yeah..I almost forgot. I'm also having the problem of it not keeping me signed in. Even to the point that I sign in...read for 5 minutes, go to post and I can't because I'm no longer signed in. I'm having to sign in 5 times during a session because I suddenly become a guest all by itself. The "keep me signed in" box is not only NOT working, but I can't even stay signed in while I'm there the whole time. Why me?

I can't seem to see the active users list that is normally at the bottom of the page. Has this been disabled or is it just me?

I'm 99.99% sure it has been disabled. I can't see it either.

I have been getting an IPS data error when navigating the site, it comes and goes, is this in the forum or my account.

We are aware of the issue and are working to correct it.

Threads are appearing with 0 views even if they have been viewed and replied to. And example would be: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=1305

Not a dire issue, but an issue nonetheless.

If I'm gone for more than a few hours it logs me out every time. I did check the "remember me" box.

Some sites disable live updates of the thread views to save server cycles. It probably waits a few minutes and then updates the number. I just wanted to point out that it may not be a bug but rather a cost saving measure.

I actually came here to report that an "undried raisin" is unable to get past the badword filter presumably because it contains the root word of "sexual assault'. Perhaps we need to make r-a-p-e become strictly filtered (rather than loosely filtered) as this would allow the word g-r-a-p-e to display properly.

I am unable to receive email from the forums on Mozilla Thunderbird. I had to change my email to a yahoo account to be able to validate. (It took me forever to remember I had a yahoo account, since I never really go to check it.)

This could be extremely problematic, as it kept me from validating for at least 2 weeks.

I see that other people have images in their sigs but mine just shows up as code instead.

Sorry for the double post. Thunderbird shouldn't have anything to do with it. Is there some kind of webmail for that account that you can get on?

Image tags are disabled for now Azati, the people who have images in their sig had them before the tags were disabled.
