Account Activation
It's come to my attention that new users aren't receiving emails for activating their accounts, both here and on Keen Modding. Private messages don't seem to be sending email notifications anymore either. I'm not sure how to solve this, probably need to contact Andy about it.
In the meantime if you are a new user and have this problem, please email me or one of the other moderators and we'll activate your account.
Edit: 3 Year buuuump So this is still an issue for some folks. If your account is having problems, forget your password, etc, email an admin with your info.

Re: Account Activation
I had some issues posting just before, too. Something about post type not selected when I was replying.Ceilick wrote:It's come to my attention that new users aren't receiving emails for activating their accounts, both here and on Keen Modding.

"Hi, I'm Tom Sellick's moustache."
post type not selected is a common error which means the session you had typed your message in timed out. copy paste the message text in a fresh post a reply window and it should work.
I'm more concerned about the email issue. I activated one or two members by hand too lately. Plus I don't get any replies from andy, neither if I email him nor if I pm him. It feels stupid because every goddamn twitter user seems to be able to contact him, and I don't intend to get an account there just to contact him. So if anyone with a twitter account could please nudge him that he at least checks his mails/pms it would be a bit easier to get to solve this. This is not fun anymore, so steer him over here, so we can work on this situation.

You crack me up little buddy!
i think he said something about stuff like this flying into his spam box.
maybe commander keen's email idea isn't crazy, we just make a little email account, get adurdin to prevent messages from that account from getting into his spambox, and use that whenever someone wants their account activated.
maybe.

Tulip--I did receive an email from you, but my reply to you was bounced, with an error about the SPF being invalid. I checked it at the time and it looked correct, but I'll check it again Edit: looks OK, so I'll try sending you another message, hope it's not rejected. This was when Xky was asking me to set you up as admin on K:M, which I did. I asked Xky to pass that on to you after my email bounced.
Edit: The mail daemon on the server died ages ago. I'm not sure why yet. And as the only notifications I've got on the server are by email, I obviously didn't get one for this
It's running again now, but I'll see if I can find out why it stopped.

I appreciate the support, though I am just as absent as the other admins these days.VikingBoyBilly wrote:I can get behind that idea. And you know what, Flaose? You should be the one and only admin and leader of all the new board. You deserve it. I'll even pay for the site space if that's a requirement.
The main thing is that I don't know what is required to host a message board, or if we would be able to transfer old posts/users to the new one (though I'm sure Andrew Durdin would be able to help in the regard, if asked). I wouldn't even be surprised if Malv would be okay with hosting the PCKF on his server.
We have a good place, but our forum software is now 10 years old and is somewhat broken behind the scenes. It would be good to move, but I have no idea what would be required to do so. I know that this comes up every once and a while, but perhaps it's time to start a new topic asking for thoughts and advice on the subject.
