@whitney-simms Well, they didn't give us much real estate! But at least it looks a little more official now

Jonas Zavacky

That is great! And I have to say that this forum has definitely on of the best user interface from the forums i know. Everything is clean and clear. I dont have problems with navigation at all thanks!

Since the update, I've noticed that links won't open when clicked. I can copy them just fine and paste the link, but I can't click a link and have it load at all. I figured you'd like to know that.

Chip Valecek

@debra-garcia Are you talking about links in posts? Or links in the footer of someone's post?

Sas

As somebody who always forgets her password, even when changing it two minutes before, I got a bit frustrated when trying to restore my password and I just didn’t get a link in my email!
(This was three days ago.)

I blocked my account (off course ) and two hours later I suddenly knew my password. Either way, I still haven’t got a email so thought this could be mentionable.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Chip Valecek

@sas Do you by chance use hotmail? For some reason hotmail has blocked all email because they think its spam.

Sas

@chip-valecek Yes I do. But wouldn't it end up in my spam box then? It's not there either...

Chip Valecek

@sas No, if hotmail blocks an IP thinking it is trying to spam people, it will block it for good. I have found your request to change password and this is the response back from hotmail:

550 5.7.1 Unfortunately, messages from [167.89.106.58] weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list (S3140). You can also refer your provider to http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors. [CO1NAM04FT064.eop-NAM04.prod.protection.outlook.com]

Looking at all the emails I been tracking from the forum all are sent besides the ones being sent to hotmail.

Sas

@chip-valecek oi! Is there a way to allow the ip to go through? Like manually putting it on the "good list"? PS. I wish they would do the same to the actual junk

Chip Valecek

@sas You would have to contact hotmail some one and request to have that IP removed from the blocked list. I once had to contact my kids school, they for some reason were blocking our IP and none of the teachers would get our emails. It took a while but they finally removed the IP and everything was good. Not much I can do on our end.

Debra Garcia

@chip-valecek Both in signatures and in posts.

MOO

Thanks for manning the forums, Chip!

@debra-garcia I have tested this and didn't have an issue with opening the links. However they do open in the same window so most of the time I will just right click on the link and say open in new tab or new window so I don't lose the page I am on.
