Send me an email from the email address associated with your account, and I will reset your password.

I am curious, why do @gmail.com addresses do not work? Thank you for answering in advance. 


Greg Strong wrote on Wed, Jun 10, 2020 06:44 PM UTC:

Gmail blocked our traffic for some reason.  I think gmail addresses have started working again, though.  I am receiving alerts again.

I am receiving alerts again for a few weeks now.

I signed up for the free version of the email service SendGrid, and I added some CNAME lines to the DNS. This appears to have been enough for our mail to get through to Gmail. I still haven't taken the step of actively sending mail through SendGrid, but I probably should, because mail to some email services is still not getting through.

@Fergus, @Greg: are gmail-address registrations possible then? There's an email in the main inbox looking to do so.

Hello. I tried to create a new account with UserID 'stepney141' and my outlook.com email address. But after I submitted I got an error message like this:

Warning: Since email accounts at outlook.com cannot receive email from us, no email has been sent.

Failed to Send Email We could not send you email at this time. Please try again later.

As written in the above message, CVP have not send any emails to me. Then, I got completely locked out of my CVP account. Could someone delete my account and let me try signing up again with the same UserID (and another email address) ?

The empty comments by "stepney141 wrote on 2021-01-15 UTC" and "a locked-out user wrote on 2021-01-15 UTC" was accidentally posted by me. I would be happy if someone will delete them.

Thank you so much! I successfully recreated my 'stepney141' account.

Could you delete 'boxhill682' account? I won't use that account since I got this one.

Hello. I'm having a problem with creating an account on this site. I am not receiving the email with password to log-in for the first time. It has been 5 days, and it has not appeared in my inbox, spam, or any other folder.

Where can I go from here?

Thanks in advance.


🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Thu, Jan 21, 2021 02:48 AM UTC in reply to Sean B from Wed Jan 20 11:46 PM:

Sean B, I believe I already handled this by email.


🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Thu, Jan 21, 2021 05:47 PM UTC:

Thanks to many email carriers having overzealous spam detection, email is no longer as reliable as it used to be. So, I'm contemplating changing how registration works. Like many other sites, it would just require a userid and password. When an email address is given, it would try to verify the email, but inability to verify an email would not keep someone from using his new account. Other email would be sent only to members with verified email accounts, and one would still be required for retrieving a lost password. Whenever an email address is entered, it would make sure it doesn't match any verified email address, and when an email address is verified, it would remove any unverified use of that address.


🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Thu, Jan 21, 2021 06:51 PM UTC in reply to Fergus Duniho from 05:47 PM:

So far, I have replaced the deadEmail column with the emailVerified column, I have added the dateVerified column, and I have made appropriate changes to some scripts. I have not yet changed how registration works.


🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Sat, Jan 23, 2021 03:04 AM UTC:

I have modified the registration script to register new members without sending email. It will now display the password and provide some instructions for getting started. To make sure it works, I deleted one of my other accounts and recreated it.


Deep Thought wrote on Sat, Aug 7, 2021 04:45 AM UTC:

Just created an account. From this page I can login with my server-generated password. On the next page there is a 'change password' link. When I click on it, I get "Cannot continue, because the PersonID does not match any in the database."


🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Sat, Aug 7, 2021 06:18 PM UTC in reply to Deep Thought from 04:45 AM:

I get the same thing when I click the "change password" link on my profile page. There must be a bug in the script.


🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Sun, Aug 8, 2021 12:38 AM UTC in reply to Deep Thought from Sat Aug 7 04:45 AM:

The link was using the PersonID as the value for userid. I changed it to use the UserID, and now it seems to work correctly.
