Title: Many people cannot register here...
Post by Mick on 10/30/14 at 15:11:47

Recently, a lot of MK8 people have wanted to join the MB to submit times (since YahooGroups is usually considered too troublesome/buggy). However most of them don't even receive the e-mail verification which is required to finish the registration.

I know the MB has had several problems in the past in that aspect, but I can't find anything about this specific  issue in the archives. Anyone as an idea as to why this is happening now? And will there be an alternative for those people to eventually register through admin assistance. If it's any relevant to the matter, many of the concerned people are Gmail users.

MK8 is pretty cool
This is a problem because people can't join this awesome site
although if they're only joining to submit times, couldn't you do it for them?

7Alvin is already doing that for a while, but he's getting overwhelmed now, and this will get worse as the DLC is nearing.

We know the filter here is bullshit but ignoring certain domains?

Only thing people need to do to join is send an e-mail, less to screw up the better.

Important: The answer to the math question is 3.
After registering you will receive a mail with a verification link. Clicking this link may not work. Instead:
1) Select and copy the link from your mail
2) Come back to this forum
3) Whilst on this forum, paste the link into the url bar.

If you were serious about your application(s), you would have included 3 recommendations from your wide circle of communist friends (preferably from professional comedians, but any 3 would have worked because communism is of course more or less comedic), and a signature of authorization from Putin.

Aloha, Mick.  I have sent you a message regarding one of my clan members, who is having difficulty registering here.  Mahalo for reading.

Have encountered the same problem multiple times. (on mk7)
People contact me on Miiverse because they can't join the pp.
Most of them do have a forum account by now. After trying multiple times. Maybe some are so young that they aren't used to or don't know how to make a forum account. And probably some got the math question wrong.
But there are people I know who do everything right and don't receive a confirmation email. After 5 or maybe 10 times trying, they receive one.
Some receive it in the spam inbox too, of course.
But I agree there is a problem that there are players that want to join but never do because of this  :(

Bastien and me tried it ourselves by making a new account. But it worked fine, for us.

Pedro Gabriel - Today 9:18 AM
> "Please validate it within 24 hours by clicking the link in the email you received!" in players page appears this, but I don't have any email :(

They should try registering with a gmail account.

Title: Re: Many people cannot register here...
Post by AlexPenev on 10/12/15 at 18:07:31

Historically this has happened often with Hotmail because people click links directly and Hotmail does weird things to those links and makes them not work. If they want to use Hotmail, they should copy and paste the link instead of click it. If they don't want to live in 1999 any more, they should use a better email.

I don't know about the "emails are not being received" problem. It seems that whenever someone else tries it to test it, it always works for them...

He said he'd try Gmail but hasn't got back to me yet

So I don't know how to registrer now...

Title: Re: Many people cannot register here...
Post by IsThatAGoodTime on 10/13/15 at 21:29:47

It could be that hotmail (or some other email service) is blocking or rejecting messages from the forum host's mail IP address.  It might be possible for an admin of the forum software to specify an alternative outgoing mail server through the admin interface.
