Title: Possible forum issue with email sending
Post by: namida on August 20, 2018, 08:27:23 PM
It's been brought to my attention that on the new server, the forum doesn't appear to be sending notification / other emails correctly.

If no other admin does so first, I'll try to look into this by the end of the week. In the meantime:
- If you are trying to register an account and do not receive the confirmation email, please contact a forum mod or admin via our #neolemmix (http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=neolemmix) or #lix (http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=lix) IRC channels. You can click on the respective channel names in the previous sentence to launch a webchat for those channels. (I am not 100% sure off-hand if the forum mods can activate accounts, but at the very least they can bring it to admins' attention via the staff board.)
- In any other case (notifications etc), please be aware you may not receive these currently. If any topic is important for you to follow, please ensure to check it manually. Alternatively, join the aforementioned IRC channels, where we have a bot who alerts us to new posts on the forums - this bot still functions perfectly fine.

Despite a few hiccups like this, the move seems to be a great success, and aside from hugely reducing costs, we also have much more control over the new server than we ever did on the old one.
