It is a Yahoo specific issue. For the moment (until it is fixed; hopefully today) anyone who registered with a Yahoo email account will not get any messages via the forum - that includes the registration confirmation, and, also, if someone clicks the "Send email" button which sends an email from the forum. I'm leaning on the hosting company pretty hard to fix this ASAP.

Just to follow up on this, our Hosting Provider just emailed to let me know they believe they have resolved this issue. If anyone using a Yahoo account still is not receiving messages through the board, let me know.

I had the same Yahoo problem, which is really a non-issue.

The one thing that continues to malfunction for me is the Chat Link. When I click it, it just says "Connecting" indefinitely. It never connects to anything.

I had this problem last time (with the initial start-up) but it was resolved after a day or two. Is there any way to fix this again?

Other than that, the site is working great and is running fast..... Thanks!

What browser/version are you using? With most Browsers, if you go to the "Help" menu at the top, there is a link to open an "About" page that has that information.

Matt-

It says: Version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_qfe.080814-1242

Not sure what that all means (or how this fixes the Chat link problem), so any advice you can provide is much appreciated... thanks!

Mark - looks like you are using a very old version of Internet Explorer. The issue you are having with the chat is nothing we can 'fix' and I don't recall fixing anything last time either to allow you in. If you have a different computer at work or at home, try that one and assuming it has a newer browser, you should be OK. Internet Explorer is on version 8 right now and you're showing version 6.

I just heard from a Yahoo user that he STILL is not getting emails from the board so I'm going back to the hosting company - will keep you posted...
