Are you using hotmail or something? I think hotmail may block messages from these forums as if they were spam. I know my old server forums used to get blocked by hotmail and automatically deleted, but that was when I was using freeforums.

Also, when you created this new account, did you check the box to not allow emails from admins? Maybe that has something to do with it. Not sure yet, but trying to work on a possible solution.

I'm using hotmail as well, but i've always recieved the email from here before when somebody reply's to a thread i'm subscribed to.

Also, I did recieve a password reset email at my hotmail address the day the forums were down and it said to reset all your passwords. I did and it worked and now THAT password is no longer working.

well looks like I am stuck in the middle of nowhere....
Can't the admins just enable THIS account to full status?

The simplest work-around would be for you to stop using hotmail when signing up for new forum accounts. At least until they get the issue resolved by hotmail. Either that or start a report to the hotmail team to have them stop blocking the emails from this domain.

I would highly suggest creating a gmail (google mail) account for now. IMO, it is far superior to hotmail in every way Who knows, you might grow to love it I have never once had email issues like this when using gmail, but I have seen similar issues on Hotmail multiple times, including for registering for my old SH forums before I moved to the current ones.

I allready did. I used my work email for this account- not getting the confirmation email neither

hotmail user on another account, I can't seem to get your emails either. I have a gmail account. Hotmail worked in Dec, don't know why it's not working now. any way I could change from the hotmail to gmail account for user VoodooChild? Can we PM if needed and figure this out?

Please don't do that in PM's. If there are workarounds everyone else needs to know too.
