New Member unable to register?
I know someone who is trying to register here and they can't get their password after they sign up. Any reason on why new members wouldn't be able to sign up?
He has a Mac.com email address.

It's been over an hour and he used two different valid email addresses.
In fact, the database sees that he is entered as he cannot re-register with the same email address.
# 3 Re: New Member unable to register?
Are you sure he didn't accidently delete the e-mail or not see it?

100% positive. He has not recieved the email, and he is already in the AI database.
# 5 Re: New Member unable to register?
Hmm.. :confused:
I really have no idea on this one. Telll him to wait a bit.
# 6 Re: New Member unable to register?

Thanks Jonathan. I hope other people aren't having the same problem he is.
# 8 Re: New Member unable to register?
actually I had that problem trying to register another nick...what's up with that? 2 days and still counting!! you would never get this kind of service at <a href=" http://www.orangeinsider.com" target="_blank">www.orangeinsider.com</a> !
# 9 Re: New Member unable to register?
Someone I know is having that problem too.
Registered two weeks ago, never got the email. Tried again with three other emails/nicks, never got them.
But now, it says that the nicks are registered, so he can't reregister.

JohnKentucky, you are so transparent.
# 11 Re: New Member unable to register?
I just got an email from someone else who is having trouble registering and has waited 2 days for his password.
The person I originally posted about has also not recieved their password.
It looks like the server isn't sending email.

brad, you are soo..well..nevermind. I see you haven't cooled down.
# 13 Re: New Member unable to register?
I think he was just pointing out that it was obvious it was you.
# 14 Re: New Member unable to register?
Still no email for him. :(
# 15 Re: New Member unable to register?
Another interesting fact is that I can't get an email with my username/password.
# 16 Re: New Member unable to register?
Sounds like sendmail is screwed up. I'll have gzl look at it.
Offer our apologies to the folks who are not able to register, please...

I can't get a member name/password on my Mac.com address either. In one of the suggestions topics <a href="http://forums.appleinsider.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=11&t=000074" target="_blank">here</a> someone made the offhand remark that mac.com servers didn't accept mail from macnn addresses. Could that be it?

# 18 Re: New Member unable to register?
That's weird, because I registered here with a mac.com address. In fact, it's the one below.
# 19 Re: New Member unable to register?
Looks like only .com (maybe.net and .org) addresses work. I tried two .de addresses and did not receive the mail. When I used my .com one it worked.
# 20 Re: New Member unable to register?
Actually, mac.com addresses are still not working.
# 21 Re: New Member unable to register?
Any update at all? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
# 22 Re: New Member unable to register?
Anything? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
# 23 Re: New Member unable to register?
I've got nothin. Might be best to email gzl about this:
neal@macnn.com
he can screw around with the unixy guts and stuff, if needbe...
# 24 Re: New Member unable to register?
Actually, future problems like this should not be sent to gzl himself but sysadmin@appleinsider.com . Someone will take a look at it. As for this particular problem, hopefully we can solve it and report in this thread.

# 25 Re: New Member unable to register?
I smacked sendmail around a few times. Should be working much better now, if not perfectly (there are always a few hiccups here and there).
Let me know.
cheers,
-gzl.
# 26 Re: New Member unable to register?
Thanks gorgonzola. I'm trying to get my own login/password now at my mac.com address. If mine works, I'm sure other members will too.
I'll let you know if I don't get it.
# 27 Re: New Member unable to register?
I was unable to get my own information at my mac.com email address. Just thought I'd let you know.
# 28 Re: New Member unable to register?
My friends never got their info either, and can't reregister with the names, because it says they're already registered.
# 29 Re: New Member unable to register?
They should be able to get their information by clicking on the get my password button. Unfortunately, it seems that this isn't ever sending out the mail either. :(
Still no email for me.
# 30 Re: New Member unable to register?
They just got their passwords by clicking the lost password thing. Seems to work now, for them at least.
# 31 Re: New Member unable to register?
I just tried it and it worked for me. I'll let you know if there are any more problems.
# 32 Re: New Member unable to register?
Seems like it did the trick. Cool beans.
Let me know if there are any further issues.
-gzl.
# 33 Re: New Member unable to register?
It's my fault, guys. Sorry. I changed my profile and promptly lost my new password. Murphy strikes again.
