Can't login to my normal account. I tried requesting the password several times but no e-mail came through. I didn't even receive the validation e-mail on this account .

[redlion]

Yeah, I couldn't get password request email either. I had to send it three times to finally get my password. Just go for three or more.

[Oaken2]

I'll keep trying then .

[Oaken2]

PM'd you anyway Ange.

I wonder how many people (leachers) will find they can't log in and just not bother coming back. I guess some remotely active members may do the same.

I wonder why some people don't get their emails right away. Are you sure it is the correct email?

[Oaken2]

Should I try again then?

Without a doubt. I still have my original validation e-mail .

Check your email Oaken. I mean check to make sure it's correct on the codex servers. Because if it isn't that would explain why it wasn't emailing you. I'm a little curious and concerned as to why you couldn't get the emails.

Your sign up email is different for Oaken and Oaken2 for the record. Although I guess you probably can't create another account on that email or something?

Yeah only one email is allowed to be associated with one account.

Yeah I used a different e-mail for the second account I had to make. I figured it wouldn't let me make another on my initial e-mail address.

How do I check that?

Go to my controls, at the top right will be:

Or the change email address option will tell you too, here.

Both pages that Sarah linked me to say the same e-mail address....which is the correct one.

Can you check your spam folder? Any other ideas why it wasn't getting to you? Are you using some method where you have to manually check such as a POP account or something?

Could the fact I am accessing Codex through a proxy have anything to do with it Hydro?

For a request to send an email? Nah, I doubt it.

There's nothing in my Junk folder. I'm not sure what a POP account is, sorry .

A POP account is like an external account which you can pull email from. It's not necessarily shown on a website like hotmail and gmail are but rather email is pulled into outlook or Apple Mail or something like that.

I checked your email address and I don't think its pop.

It's definitely not pop then.

What are the implications of me not being able to receive the e-mails? Just curious as you do seem quite worried about it .

I don't think there are many implications if you personally don't receive emails. I mean you come on the board pretty often and can just post about help requests here. But I'm worried about the people who don't really come on much who may not get the emails. They may or may not understand how to fix the problem.

[Oaken]

Ahhh I just thought the worst going on one of your earlier posts .

Could it be something to do with hotmail addresses?

[Black Flame]

Yeah the email attached to my account is a hotmail account. I don't even get e-mails from codex anymore (both PM notification e-mail and board admin updates are enabled too), meaning I'm currently getting no notification for new reports.

[Oaken]

Oh yeah, good point. I used to get e-mail confirmation when I got a PM....and I don't anymore either.

I installed the report manager and so you can choose how to get notifications for reports. It would be mighty weird if hotmail didn't allow codex email.

I don't see the reports thing on the menu bar...

You need to install the favicon again btw.

You aren't in one of those groups that get to see it . And I'm on the favicon thing .

Should be done now .

I think it is somehow not allowing it now though. Or it's a reeeeally weird glitch. I might just change my e-mail to my gmail account if this keeps going.

Can you try that actually? Test once more with hotmail and if it doesn't go through, switch it to gmail and test it again. Let me know how it goes.
