SpitFireSIX Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hi, Can Admin/SysGod explain why I can not use my email address to register on here? It worked in the old days & now is blocked. Unable to post now. Spitfire6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TorontoTim Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hi There, Try using your (old?) screen name to sign in. Alternatively, call the office for info. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi SpitFireSIX The main TR Register website is still separate to the arrangements for forum logging in, with separate details for user names and passwords, could this be the issue?

SpitFireSIX Posted January 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hi all, I noticed I was not receiving emails concerning posts I had made. So I re-registered my UK email address. The Forum does not send to UK email addresses. I have used my employers .COM email to register this name. Confused why having a UK email address is prohibited for a UK car forum.?? Cheers, Iain.

SpitFireSIX Posted January 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hi All, So having a UK email account is not allowed on this Forum? I would be interested in the reason why? Cheers, Iain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wayne Scott Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hi Iain, There should be no issues with any genuine working email addresses regardless of their country of origin. I can see you have an email address associated with your account used to post here that seems to be working. If you'd like to change that email address, PM me your new one and I'll change it for you.

SpitFireSIX Posted January 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Hi, No confirmation email. So: Still not working. Cheers, Iain. Edited January 24, 2020 by SpitFireSIX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne Scott Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hi Iain, It's likely going into your Spam folder. I'll change it from our admin end for you and will PM when done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Should the email address end .co.uk rather than just .uk ?? I'm clutching at straws for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpitFireSIX Posted January 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Thanks Hamish for the idea. .UK is fine. I occasionally get asked if i mean .co.uk. It's not a spam filter at my server end either. A have quite a few .UK domains and none work NOW on this forum. Thanks, Iain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wayne Scott Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi Iain, You can now login with your new email and old password. Your old account was traced and has been merged with this one to keep your content intact and correctly attributed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpitFireSIX Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi, I am going to log out of here and try to return after requesting a password reset. Hope to be back. Cheers, Iain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpitFireSIX Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi, Nope. This system is unable to send to .UK. It works with my employers .Com. It might work with .CO.UK. I don't own any .CO.UK. I just want to be able to use a .UK email address. Cheers, Iain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpitFireSIX Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Hi, Email below never received. Was the email ever Sent is the question? Edited January 30, 2020 by SpitFireSIX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne Scott Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Hi Iain, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve here. You clearly know your password and can login with your email / username otherwise, you wouldn't be able to post. The screen grab you posted shows that you are now using a different email to the one you initially provided and which I switched your account to. Is this the email you now want to use? pop@ rather than iain@ ? Is it that you are just trying to change your password for something more memorable? Your SpitfireSIX account is live, you are successfully posting and sending PMs, that account has iain@spitfire6.uk as your email address. Emails are being sent to your email address, there is no problem with them sending, so it must be that they are being caught up in a spam filter somewhere. Also, be aware the only emails you will receive are notifications of PMs or replies to threads. Some ISPs have a setting for anti-spam levels, I suggest you notch it down a mark. I have also gone through your account preferences and turned on your email notifications. A quick tip - be careful about adding a full stop after your email address. spitfire.uk is fine spitfire.uk. makes the system expect something to come after it, like .co.uk If you can help me better understand your needs, I can look again at this for you.

john.r.davies Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Wayne, I just tried to find the back numbers list of TRaction, so that for the aid of another member here, I might quote the issue in which an article of mine appeared. The site asked me to login, and then did not recognise my password. OK, I tell it that I have forgotten my password (I haven't but changing it from time to time is good) - and the site does not recognise my email address! But as Iain above has, I have no problem posting this. There does seem to be a problem in the files! John PS five minutes later. Despite the message - I've just received a "Password Reset" message from the TRR site! And it has let me "reset" my password to the same as it was before! That shouldn't happen. But at least I can access the back numbers now. J. Edited February 3, 2020 by john.r.davies Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One is not related to another. I'm looking at changing that in the very near future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
