    We know about it. We're working on getting it restored. It's not your email address.

    DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHANGE YOUR EMAIL

    I can't stress that enough. It will reset your account to a non-active status as you have to confirm the email address once you change it. And without email notifications working.... you won't get it.

    It's not you, it's a forum wide thing. The ISPs like to blacklist domains as they feel they're spam accounts when they're not.

    If you have run into this, please let myself, Jeff (crazyazn), Matt O (matto357) know and we'll look into your account asap.

    Thanks!

    Yay, at least I can post again! Thanks, Matt.

    Is the problem happening with other e-mail domains besides Gmail?

    Any news on fixing this? I received an e-mail notification for a PM on 12/2, so maybe things are working again?

    Also, I was unable to create a new thread just now in the "Community Announcements & News" section. Is that due to the e-mail issue (and me having tried to change it months ago and never receiving the confirmation e-mail, putting my account in a quasi non-active state), or some other reason (e.g., my post count too low)? [never mind -- looks like only mods can start threads in that area]

    things are working again. we didn't do anything. I think it was the ISPs lifting the ban on the domain.
