Here are the 3 places I used:

The image above is from the last one on the list, which unfortunately will only let you test 3 emails within 24hr period for free.

« Last post by mouser on January 18, 2018, 02:36 PM »
This will be my 3rd attendance of the Gencon board game convention.  This year it will be held from Aug 2-5 in Indiana.
If any else is planning on attending let me know and we can meet up and play some board games and I'll bring you a rare DC games division mug.

FYI: The search failures were my fault -- I was over-eager in cleaning out a database table that I thought was related to logs but was actually important for search.  Table replaced and updated, no harm done, no data lost.
I've tweaked the search results a little now, so maybe they will be a tiny bit more relevant than they have been on the old server.. but after everything else is sorted out I'll try to go through and improve search results.

Ok searching in topics-only and in current topic should be working now..  Still some tweaking to do to get search results to be better, but I think we are back to where we were before.
(note that some caching of search results happens so if you search for something again that you searched for prior to my fixes, youll get old empty results until the cache clears).

Yep, that was the first place I went.  Our ip was not on any public blacklists, I think it was just att and hotmail being paranoid by default about an ip they had never seen.

Att says they have removed the black list, and hotmail says they have as well, so we should be good.

The search function on the forum is still not working right (searching in topics-only is clearly not working).. I'm not quite sure what the nature of the problem -- it's probably related to the forum database api.. I'm working on it.

Check these out and let me know if they are good to go.
If so I will update official downloads with the german books:
https://www.donation...lay_books_german.zip


It would be nice to give credit to the translators -- could you write a little translator_readme.txt note for me to include?  Or if you just want to tell me what to include I will be happy to make the file and include it.

I will download and generate some books.  If it takes up too much space I can always reduce font size.  Standby.

I'd put it on my todo list, but at this point my todo list has been concatenated and is scrollable for miles.
I think the more likely even that will happen before then is the possibility of migrating all of our content to a new forum system at the end of the year.  Right now I'm still spending 18 hour days working on getting all of the final little the server migration details working right.

Oh yeah, guess what -- you know those 4am daily "the server is down for maintenance" backup messages.  They are no gone the way of the dodo  :up:

Yeah, I've corrected that.  And it seems there was a mis-configuration of the DKIM dns records, which can hurt.  Hopefully all is fixed now.  We shall see.

turned up only one page of 30 references
should be fixed now -- you should see up to 1000 results.

TIP: The indexed search which runs by default, is fast but doesn't always do the best job of sorting results.  This is especially true if you search for something that returns thousands of hits.
If you can't find what you're looking for follow the instructions at the top of the results page for how to do a more thorough search.

Official Announcements / Server having trouble sending email to hotmail and att addresses - Jan 16, 2018
« Last post by mouser on January 16, 2018, 07:28 PM »
We have just moved to a new server, and we see that hotmail and att (and maybe some others we haven't found yet), are blocking email from us.
Our new server IP does not appear to be on any blacklists so it may just be they are blocking the server because it's new to them or it is similar to an ip they don't like or they are just being grumpy.
We expect to have it sorted out very soon, but if you try to register an account at the forum or otherwise expect mail from us and don't see, that's why.

I'll post an update here when we see that the emails are going through.

Note that we can still receive mail FROM you, it's just if we send email to your address you won't get it.  So you can still submit comments to us from our Contact page.

Not sure I would 'hide' the link to the blog under Editorials but that's just an opinion of course.
Agreed.. if we can get it more regular it should be moved to top-level status.  The menu arrangement is subject to change.

Another one: the Paypal button at top right also 404s. I think it's because it points to https://www.donationcoder.com/Donate instead of https://www.donationcoder.com/donate (lowercase)

Thanks very much, initial redirect fix is in.  Still have to change some forum references.
