Does the Test Email Function button not work? I've tried and get a page not found or an SQl error. I requested an upgrade and per the message that all upgrades prior to 7/21 have been done. Yet, mine does not appear to have been done so I am troubleshooting before bothering Jackson. I tried requesting my password to see if I could receive email from ESG and that worked, so I'm not sure if the problem is email or something else.
Need Help: Jackson
I send a number of emails asking to help but problem still not resolved therfore now registered a new member ID.
My orginal id: Phish
Problem: Changed my Email Address. Never recieved notification, now as I am unable to verify the email address my ID is locked out.
Jackson can you please send me a Email Verification Notification again Please!
In future if someone is already is a long standing member and for some reason do not disable the old mail & ID if notification fails while changing email, allow for re-try... I have been locked out for a month
Jackson: Thak you very much for the quick turn around. I am finally able to login and post. Just in the nick of time.
I am now down in BA and will shortly begin to post real detailed reports of my tour-de'pussy!
Hopefully, if you are down at the mansion would like to stop by and say Hi.
Hello there Jackson. I couldn't change my email address. It seem that I do not have sufficient rights to change it. Is it because of the site upgrades and I should wait?
I have a problem getting unsolicited mail from WSG. Whenever I post something, the system automatically "suscribes" me to that thread and whenever someone posts something, I get an email notifying me of that.
If you post in a fairly active thread, your liable to get many emails a day.
To stop receiving emails one must "unsubscribe" from that thread.
Is there an option NOT to receive ANY emails for ALL future postings? I couldnt find it! And why is one subscribed by default to any thread he posts in?
In the meantime, I've blocked WSG emails from my Yahoo acct.
If you notice, at the bottom of the "Reply to Thread" window you have an option which says "Thread Subscription." All you have to do is select either "Do Not Subscribe" or "No Email Notification" and you're all set. You can also make those selections within the User Control Panel.
Thanks Joe, just noticed it now. I thought it was only done via the control panel which lets you unsubscribe from individual threads but with no option to unsubscribe from all future threads by default.
Still I think the subscribe feature should be off by default.
I expect being subscribed with email on is the default for the forum software -- it's clear there's a lot of tweaking that will go on. Jackson's priorities, as I can see them, seem appropriate to me: first get things stable, then improve performance so you're not overtaxing the server or eating up bandwidth, and then work on tweaking. No member, for example, has the ability to change their own passwords or email address yet in the User CP, which I'd expect will change if only to reduce Jackson's workload.
Keep in mind that all of what we're seeing right now is with forum viewing restricted to members only, unlike the normal situation. From my viewpoint, this has actually been an unusually seamless move so far for such a major upgrade, with a minimum of downtime or unexpected problems. I think we all just need a little patience, and then we'll better see what the software can do.

Yep, with 98,000 members I would agree with you that its been "unusually seamless".
I am having problems getting into the main forum. Keep getting the "Cannot Display or Web Page not Available" message when I click on "Discussion" or "Main Index." I am a Senior Member and I never received any email about any difficulties with user name or email address. Is everything OK? Is this just a little glitch while you update software?
Thanks,

Dear Jackson,
For some reason, I am not allowed access to these CP functions:
Edit Email & Password
Edit Profile
Edit Options
Can you tell me why? or is that just a temp glitch.
Thanks,

jackson - need to change my email address, did the test email - no probs then was going to forward the changes onto your old email (jackson at wsgforum.com) - but it keeps bouncing back.
can you help me change my email address please?
thanks tiger.
Hi Jackson and CaryGrant,
I too am having similar problems. I'm a viewing member and can do all the "normal" things a viewing member should (e.g. searches, subscribe to forums etc.) But for some reason, I cannot access these Edit functions. Am using both IE 6 and Firefox 1.0, with the same result (cookies turned on as well)
Anyone have any ideas?

[blue]The CP functions have been turned off until I can edit them to remove the functions that I do not want users to change.
I will post a notice when the CP is operational.
Thanks,

I dont know which email i registered with. and the "edit profile" wont allow me to change address. I would like to upgrade to senior member.
