@exxos Yes, but I didn't try the messages after the original post... and this one https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 690#p71825 from you was the good one.

I cleared the two fields "mail" and "token", saved and then I can see orders. My "Profile" tab looks incomplete but it's ok for me :)

Thank you and sorry.

Take care !

Thought I would dump this topic relating to viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5829 and viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5921

As a reminder that Microsoft emails are no longer working. But also people need to bear in mind that spam sites such as cloudflare etc are also blocking emails. Not to mention the general "junk folder" problems.

I have mentioned it before that it really seems like the end of emails as we know it. I completely understand the fight against spam, but once you get on the wrong side of things...

I half think about doing a test and just sending out a mass email to everyone registered on the forum to see how many bounce back. I've done this before when I ran my gaming forum. Though I am reluctant to do that because of the abusive replies of " I never signed up with your forum" etc etc :roll:

I am trying to think how to do away with emails but it is not so simple. It would open the door spammers registering millions of accounts every hour. The only solution would be to make the forum invite only where the moderators would activate the account so emails are no longer necessary. But it does create a little bit of more work for us all then.

The problem there is how do people contact somebody here to request a invite.. Aside from shouting out on Facebook etc.

Also certainly not ideal, but a option, is to make it so that people have to pay £1 to register for the forum. Certainly people would not like it but if they want to use the services of the forum etc then a £1 lifetime fee for registration certainly not unreasonable.

Of course with a "email free" forum, notifications would only work if people are logged in. People will not like it obviously, but I do not really see any simple solution to all this currently.

Knowing what a royal PITA running a email server is, I have to ultimately do what is best for myself long-term. As in reducing the amount of constant hassle emails always cause in one respect or another.
