Unable to receive activation link sent to gmail?

Post by rxt55 »

Hi, I just tried to sign up with a gmail account, but it didn't work so I'm using a temp workaround.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to registration page and fill in information, make sure to gmail account
2. Click submit
3. Get redirected to page that says "Your account has been created. However, this board requires account activation. An activation key has been sent to the email address you provided. Please check your email for further information and also be sure to check your junk mail box. It may take a while to get the email depending on your email provider."
4. Check gmail account, no email will be received

I also checked spam and waited, no luck.

Seems like a DMARC, DKIM, and SPF misconfiguration causing gmail to block your address if I had to guess?
Thanks

But here you are, with a working account, and posting a thread. I don’t know that there’s much else you can do on here!

I don’t know whether I ever got an activation email, and I used a gmail account to register
Oh to have even an average sized cock….
