Confirmation/Registration Issues

[Shaun]

Alright, so I've been getting a lot of notices telling me that people aren't receiving their confirmation emails and the like in order to properly register. In the interest of getting around this, I'd like to ask folks having those issues to do the following:

Step One
Check your spam box. In gmail, the spam box is not visible on the menu. You have to click the little arrow to see the extra features. I don't know what the spam box looks like on other emails except Yahoo (where it is very visible and lets you know when stuff is in there). However, always check your spam box first before going to step two.

Step Two
Send a PM to me (Shaun) OR (if a PM doesn't work) send a message to our Twitter account (@youngwritersnet is how you send us a message on there, if you don't know). You should be able to do the first, though. PMs, for whatever reason, seem to work for those who aren't confirmed as registered.

That's it. Andy has been told about the issue. We're working on figuring it out!

Just a note: the problem is still going on. Please don't hesitate to PM me or send me an email (see the first post) if you are not receiving the confirmation email.

Thanks,
Shaun

Or junk mail in case you use msn. (hotmail/live)

I have temporarily turned off email verification until such time as Andy can resolve the problem. Too many people are not receiving their registration confirmation stuff and there's no point keeping an email system that doesn't work.

Anywho...
