ipcamtalk forum software spontaneously rejecting users’ email

[Swampledge]

Posting here because there doesn’t seem to be a forum related to forum issues.

About a week ago, I lost posting and attachment viewing privileges because the forum software couldn’t reach or verify (I don’t recall the exact wording of the banner) the email address that I’ve been registered with since joining. I solved the problem by changing my account to a different email address in a different domain. Several days later, the problem happened again. I tried changing my account back to the original address, but never received confirmation emails at the spurned account. I’m now functioning using a third email, but I’m starting to run out of email addresses.

I‘m aware that @Parley also had this problem, and @Mike is working on it. I’m also guessing others have also experienced this. Just thought there should be a thread here someplace where maybe advice on how to resolve could be posted.

It has happened to other members in the past:

Lost forum access and forced to change a still valid email address....why??

I recently lost the ability to make new posts or respond to posts on this forum, supposedly because they couldn't verify my email address which is still active and valid. I had to switch to using a different email address to restore access privileges. I sent a message to "Contact Us" but never...

I had to change my email address from one ending in sbcglobal.net to one that ends in gmail.com on September 28, 2023. About a week ago, I tried to go back to my original email address without success, so I'm still stuck with a gmail.com address on this website.

Sorry everyone, the email server has been having issues. I have been fixing them and it should be ironed out soon. This "feature" has been shutoff and will remain off. Once you are confirmed you will remain confirmed.

Is it rejecting emails that bounce and some email providers are spam bouncing the forum emails?

That is 100% it.

Thank You for fixing my account!
It was impossible to see any postings of pix/vids/settings.

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
I was also somehow unconfirmed also.

Thank you for fixing my account, too! It initially started 7 or 8 days ago, with a message stating my email address could not be reached. Tried several other email addresses and none were able to get the confirmation email to register the account.

But it's working now.

 

[Mike]

The issue should be resolved now! My awesome server team and I think we figured it out.

Thanks to everyone who reported it! If any issues remain, please email me!

The problem isn't resolved on my end.

I had to change my email address from one ending in sbcglobal.net to one that ends in gmail.com on September 28, 2023. Just tried twice on December 10, 2023 to go back to my regular email address ending in sbcglobal.net without success, so I'm still using one that ends in gmail.com. Yahoo is blocking emails from IP Cam Talk to my sbcglobal.net email address and they're not going to the Spam folder either.

I detest Yahoo. Those scumbags continully put valid emails into a Spam folder and then sometimes not even there.

Oh man, I hate sbcglobal! That email service has always given me trouble across so many sites. I believe the yare phasing it out? Either way, I submitted a request to them, will chime back when I hear from them.

@Mike - Will I have a problem if I try switching back to my comcast.net email address? Would be preferred, simply to not have too many email addresses.

Thanks.

The bounce option has been shut off completely, so you won't have an issue with your account, but make sure you are getting emails from the forum there. If you have a gmail, use that for now.

I was able to successfully switch back to my iCloud email address after it had been rejected.
