Yeah, stupid googlemail didn't flag the first one as spam but did for the password reset, so I didn't look in the spam folder. I don't know where the automated one went though. Fixed now anyway :)Originally Posted by flame
Thanks and apologies for spamming you Eddie :)
Wayne.
Same with SKY as well!!
In now so thats good!!! Thanks for the tip Eddie!!
Huhhuh, I feel a bit stupid after asking Eddie for help while the password was in my gmail spam folder...
Thanks a lot, everything working again!
+ 1 on the gmail thing
wasn't even in my outlook gmail spam folder, had to go to webmail gmail, i hate webmail gmail...
anyways, back again
Good to be back
Great to be back on-line !
Non of the emails for the password reset went to my spam folder, they correctly arrived in my inbox and I'm using gmail. Odd how it's affecting some and not others.
You're not alone there...
Check your webmail chaps! Computer-based e-mail clients seem to have a knack of not showing the password reminder mail.
Forum update
Thought you'd sent mine by snail mail and you didn't want to see me
Hi
Mine worked fine, email to inbox.
But why the hell did we loose our passwords in the first place???
Bad integration..??
Thanks

You obviously didn't read the announcement I made on the old forum well in advance of the migration. Passwords are encrypted and cannot be exported. If you don't like the inconvenience, go somewhere else, I've spent more than 40 hours trying to make this work and my hosting service has matched this. If you don't like it, ask for a refund - oh, I forgot, it's FREE!

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
I guess I was deadshit number 174 - but it's all fixed now, thanks Eddie.
Regards,
Rob.
Same problem here with the second email going to SPAM in Gmail, all good now, thanks for the migration, looks like we have RSS feeds now, let's give it a try!
Sorry Eddie, my bad. I simply did not see the announcement.
No inconvenience for me the since password recovery exactly as advertised: email to inbox.
Thanks
deano
I've had more than 300 e-mails from members who couldn't get a new password; most of them didn't even try, just said they couldn't login. At an average of 2 minutes per e-mail to read and reply you can work out how much time I've wasted.

My current active email is gmail. My old email that I registered to TZ is blueyonder.
One forwards to the other.
The problem was that the blueyonder email catches spam and doesn't notify gmail email, that is where my password was hiding.
Have fun

But I did post an announcement on the old forum back in June asking for people to make sure their e-mail address was current. I tried to ensure that the migration was as trouble-free as possible but the 173 e-mails I've responded to so far today suggests that it's a waste of time expecting people to take any responsibility for not being able to login. I'm not bothered, I'll just delete those who don't make it.

I did take heed of your announcement, checked that I got email from the forum and left well alone.
The purpose of my post was information to read only non-logged in old members and in no way criticism.
Gmail puts the new password mail in the spam folder, if there is anyone out there with gmail reading this.
Had to get into the spam folder via Virgin mail to get my password details,didn't come through on Windows Mail.
I had the same problems with the password and just as I was writing Eddie an e-mail I looked again for the "forgotten password" button. Checked the spam folder and here I am.
I thought my account was removed for some reason at first.
I added my current email a few months ago after Eddie put the sticky up, yet still was too thick to look for "reset password" till the Congratulations you ARE a man, and yes you have exhausted all 5 goes you idiot window came up (!) reset the password, looked in the junk folder when it don't show up, then accidentally deleted it (proof of male chromozone again) extracted it from trash can and let myself in, then gave myself a new password. I think. Sorry Eddie!
However you have done a sterling job on the transfer, being a far braver man than me, so three cheers from the Thames estuary. As way of thanks please find the virtual bacon sarnie enclosed.

Here too !! but no hassle
Also it might be worth pointing out that most members PM in box is full since the site changeover.....so perhaps a post (if there isn't one already?) to ask all members to check/read/clear their in boxes??
Thank you Gareth, I have just cleared mine out.
Thanks, PM now sent.
Just a quick note to those (if there are any) as thick as me in getting the new password. I thought the spam folder was the Norton one on my Outlook, and I was struggling to understand there was actually another one provided by NTL, my ISP. I had to log onto my mail on the NTL site, and retrieve my new password from the spam folder there. I'm not a techy type you see !! but got there in the end. Eddie, if you read this, thanks for your help.
Stuart
Good to know!
