Experienced By: A Friend Of Mine
Browser: Firefox
Email: Yahoo
Problem: Just wondering, what could causeba verification email to either not be sent or not be received? I'm asking because a friend of minebis helping mebwith my game so I am adding him to my company forum, but he isn't receiving the verification email, neither in his spam nor his inbox and I was wondering what could possibly be blocking it so I can try to help him fix it. | |

Whoops 
I've just done a test registration on a forum and the registration email came through to my yahoo account fine. I then had a new validation key sent and that came through fine too.
Have they tried having the validation key resent? | |

pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: Email Verfication? (31st May 09 at 12:21am UTC) | | So two questions:
1. Have they double checked that it's going to the right e-mail address.
2. Did they receive the welcome/registration e-mail or did tat not arrive either.
May be worth asking if they have a different email address it could be sent to? | |

2. He ain't getting anything from the forum.
As well he only has one email address, and i'd let hiim use one of mine instead, but for a staff forum, that wouldn't be very professional to do. | |
