Thanks, John.  I'll report this to Nabble support.

[Machspeed]

Thanks Gary!

Jim, please don't think that I ignore you. I've posted things here for which you've commented but I did not see them till much later. This, due to my inability to follow a thread. Your input here, at least from my perspective, is vital and I always want to know what you think. Appreciate ya, buddy!!!  

[ArdWrknTrk]

Seems like Yahoo's legacy is that they don't update their protocol, or security (or both!)

I don't feel ignored -at all- John.

This is Gary's kingdom, and he is the one who wields the power for change.
I asked a few questions, so I could tease out a bit more of what problems you're encountering.

[ArdWrknTrk]

So John is obviously not aware, but this morning a new member tried to register from a Brazilian Yahoo address... thrice.

I approved his membership and fired off the boilerplate all new members get asking them to read the rules and make an introductory post in New Members.

After that he registered again, using a period between his first and last names (his username)
I sent him a note (CC's to the admin team) that I'd already escalated him to member and hoped he would get what he needs from the forum.

Later yet he has registered again.
So, five attempts and it seems he is still not aware that he is welcome.

I don't get any mailer daemon rejection, but I'm not the one being rejected either.

Perhaps I (or Gary) should to try and contact him from Gmail rather than through the forum?
But given what John says I have my doubts that would work either.

ETA: Is there a way to whitelist Yahoo on the Nabble side of things, because I think Google's policy change is here to stay.
(Now isn't that ironic, given Alphabet's propensity to just get traction with something and 'disappear' it, or coldly killing off legacy services that are universally liked, while pushing half baked conglomerates that do everything, but nothing well.

Jim - Thanks for all the efforts.  But I'm not sure it is a Yahoo issue.  I realized that discussing the email addresses used here wouldn't be appropriate so I sent you and the other admins an email.  He's been promoted to member via two different Gmail accounts and one Yahoo account.  Let's see what transpires and which account he uses.

Again, thanks for all the effort.  It was very confusing.

[Machspeed]

Jim, tried to email both you and Gary this morning but got the same deliverable message. From the site, it appears to go but it comes up deliverable on my Yahoo email account. I'll just wait and see what Gary finds out.

[Gary Lewis]

John - I don't have a message from you anywhere, including in the spam folder.  (Yuk!  There are AWFUL things in there!)

So can you post what you got back as a response?  (Yes, it'll have my email address, but I'm not worried.)

[ArdWrknTrk]

I posted to Gary earlier today that I have nothing from you, not even in spam

It's an issue that needs to be addressed.

Be certain that we are working on it.

[Machspeed]

Gary and Jim, I just sent out a test email to both of you and it has not come back on me as the previous have. Can you let me know if you received it?

[Gary Lewis]

John - I'm not seeing anything from you.  And I've looked in spam as well as anywhere else it could be.  Sorry.

Could you post the undeliverable message you go back when you emailed me?  I'd like to put that on Nabble support.

And, do you have another email address to try?  Or, could you create one on Gmail?  You can change your email address.

[ArdWrknTrk]

Not anywhere here either, John.

Sorry! 🤷

[Gary Lewis]

I've perused the Nabble support forum and see instances of others having problems with Yahoo.  Found a statement by my mentor over there that said "Such unreliability is one reason why I have largely abandoned my Yahoo addresses."

And in several instances the people set up a Gmail account and everything worked.

[Machspeed]

Okay fellas, I changed my email address....lets try again! Sent out emails to both of you....let me know if you got them. Should be off my Suddenlink account.  

[Gary Lewis]

I got it and replied.

[Machspeed]

Thanks Gary. Sorry to be such a hassle for you guys.

[ArdWrknTrk]

I did get it!

But you said respond on the forum, so here I am.

[Gary Lewis]

Not your fault.  And I'd not heard about any problems with Yahoo.  But now we know.

Please test out the ability to subscribe.

[fryntrz]

Is there a way to subscribe to a thread without email notifications similar to FTE?  I've been spending more time on the truck which has increased time browsing here - I'd like to be able to file certain threads for future reference when I have a 'know I've seen that somewhere' day as I progress through the project.

[Gary Lewis]

Bryan - I'm not sure what you mean by "subscribe to a thread without email notifications".  If you "subscribe" you will get email notifications, but you can decide if you want to subscribe to an individual thread or the folder it is in, like Projects, or to the whole forum.  And, you can decide if you want an email for each new post or a daily rollup showing all new posts.

However, you may be talking about a link to a thread or a post.  And that's called a "permalink".  If you want a link you can store away to a specific post click More on the far right of that post's header, then Permalink, and then copy the link that appears.  You can paste that link somewhere and then click on the link later to come back directly to that post.

Or, you can get a link to the whole thread by going to the very top of the thread and click the Permalink there.

Does that help?
