Just a thought...

I did a test registration just now. Worked fine. Firefox 3, VM broadband. Received directly into my email client on my PC.

Attempts via Forgot Password, get sent to the hotmail bulk folder, but no valid password obtained through nodpi.org link.

My reg was delayed by a few hours - but it did work, could be a lag?

Also, a problem with the script to produce the PW, possible not linking correctly with the user?

A user on badphorm, has indicated that the case may be a bad script.

24 hours is a long lag though, & still no original reply.

I think we should remember that with any email, there is no guarantee of delivery. Saying that, there is obviously something amiss judging by the recent reports in this thread.

I can honestly say this is not a problem with nodpi.org

If there was a problem with the site then everyone would experience the same difficulties and that simply isn't the case. Maybe Hotmail are deleting incoming messages from NoDPI because some unscrupulous person has added it to an RBL somewhere, but the email itself is definitely working so the issue would seem to be at the user end as opposed to the site end.

Hi, Sorry to have distracted the thread a bit with my "nodpi.org" problem of 3 of the tabs not working. I mentioned before that I managed to get to the forum/reg page with my son's help adding "Forum" to the web address and I was able to register with no problem, I received my e-mail/pass word immediately. I am with VM.

Paul, I am sorry to have got you into a seperate debate! I am very thankful for your help. I will attempt to PM you, something else that I have never done before but I have to learn!

keep up the good work you lot!

Dave.

OK there was a problem with password recovery, this has now been fixed so if people ask for a password reminder it should now work.

It seems the problem with emails could be down to certain providers requiring more than one attempt to send an email to them:

Quote:

relay=mx2.mail.ukl.yahoo.com[217.12.11.64]:25, delay=1177, delays=1177/0/0.14/0, dsn=4.0.0, status=deferred (host mx2.mail.ukl.yahoo.com[217.12.11.64] refused to talk to me: 421 Message from (hidden ip) temporarily deferred - 4.16.50. Please refer to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-06.html)
E1F56270A6: to=<mail address removed>

This is a common technique to prevent spam and basically it defers your first request requiring you to make a second request before it will be processed which means emails can be significantly delayed. There is nothing I can do about this as it is down to the email provider not our site.

Unless you have done severe modifications on your site with the email process, Wordpress mail is well tried and has been well tested by thousands of users on other sites so I would tend to agree.

JackSon · 22-06-2008, 16:44

All good now

Well the password recovery issue ended up being a wordpress problem and has been patched appropriately but everything else is standard.

There is a completely new design for the site being worked on at the moment but the person doing it is having power issues due to flooding. I have been told the template has been finished but until their power comes back up I can't access it to check it and make any changes before it goes live.

It will be a -much- better looking site when it is finished though and it is a professional wordpress developer working on the site. I decided to go down the route of paying a developer because I simply don't have the time to learn the ins and outs of wordpress' theming engine and API with everything else going on, but I also think the look of the site is a priority so I wanted to get it sorted.

That's OK - it's not your fault, people just use programs in different ways that's all. Lots of views on why combofix shouldn't be used but nobody bothered to ask me why I thought it should...

Take your time and PM me - I've got several ideas what it might be.

Placards

OK if people are feeling creative we need to start putting together the images for the placards for the protest. All images should be submitted as vector graphics (SVG format which is the default "Save As" format in Inkscape) so they will scale properly to be printed on A3.

You can download Inkscape which is a free vector graphics application (and industry standard software). It is incredibly powerful and available for Windows and Linux. Download page is here:

http://www.inkscape.org/download/?lang=en

For some excellent video tutorials on using Inkscape please visit the following site:

http://screencasters.heathenx.org/page/7/

If you want to generate images to upload to your image host of choice you will need to Export them using the Export option under the File menu. This will export the image to PNG by default. You will then be able to link to them in your forum posts.

Here are some of the ads I have been using in AdWords to give people some ideas, we will need at least a dozen placard images:

Does anyone know if there are any Wifi services available at the Barbican Centre. I am thinking of taking a laptop for people to be able to sign the petition on the PM site at the protest, but we will need either a Wifi service or a 3G dongle so we can access the PM web site.

I was thinking of contacting radio stations in and around London too in order to send them a press release about the event with the hopes they will mention it in their news bulletins leading up to the event. If anyone would like to start gathering a list of stations and their addresses I would appreciate it. Let me know if you are working on this so I can cross it off my personal To-Do list.
