I'm still trying to get it to send out e-mails properly.

If you have requested a password reset try it again and check your spam folder.

Okay, I think you should be able to get e-mails from the site now.

I switched it so that is sent using Gmail. The address is tibbwebsite at gmail . com - just so you know that is legit.

If you asked for a password reset mail earlier you wouldn't have got it. Try again. It seems to be going into inboxes now, but check Spam / Junk folders if you don't see it.

I'm not one to say I told you so...

But I told you so.

Feeling proud at 53 so I am. I bridged the gap no problem.

Having the emails come from Gmail rather than a domain e-mail is really terrible web security James . I'm assuming just temporary.

It's really difficult to get Google/Yahoo/Microsoft to accept e-mails without them being marked as spam, sometimes rejected (or blacked-holed without acknowledgement) completely. This has been a long-standing issue.

I often see new users make multiple attempts to register an account.

A lot of people and some websites use Gmail for their main business e-mail now. But yeah, I'll try to get the domain e-mail working right.

I've meant for a while to add alternate methods for authenticating accounts that don't rely on e-mail.

I will merge the new account you created with your current one.

I've made some changes that should hopefully stop the slow loading times and double posting when replying to, and editing posts in, long threads.

Thanks for all the hard work and time spent sorting the server out James

I see why that happened. I should be able to fix that.
