E-mail notfication [closed]

Post by setsujoku » 11 July 06 9:57 am

Not sure if its deliberate or not, but the e-mail notifications that im getting for replies to threads on GCA are showing up as coming from Riblit@Riblit.com not the GCA address.

Has it changed, or has the system stuffed up somewhere?

I got a Private Mesage notification with the same address...

Methinks the Pants Wearing frog has been a-fiddling with the system. :wink:

I did a change last night as the support line has been getting anumber of emails from new members asking why their accounts had not been activated. With the recent change to registrations a new account has to be manually vetted and activated. When I checked I found around 300 inactive accounts in the system. I changed the address so I get the new account details, which I can then action. The bbs software only has one one place to insert an admin email address and it uses it for a reply address for thread replies. Until I can arrange something better (catch up with i! and arrange some forwarding) you will see one of my addresses.

We had 3 new sign ups last night that otherwise would have been in limbo.

I just changed the address to newgca@riblit.com so if you see that one you know why.

It'll revert to the old address as soon as we work something out.

Are the 300 inactive accounts going to be purged from the database? I'd make searching the Memberlist a bit easier if it did.

Either that or add an AlphaNumeric Index at the top of it Memberlist page (2nd request)...

regards,
Loon

I think the latest release of the bbs software has the AlphaNumeric index.

As for the accounts, I activated about 50 of the latest with Australian email addresses yesterday.
