Not Getting a Validation Email?
Hi everyone,

I believe starting around 10PM last night (1/4/2008) till about 10:37PM tonight (1/5/2008) we were having issues with the mail services. I've been working on it and it seems they've been fixed. For some odd reason it would only deliver mail locally so anyone (new users, people commenting, community invites, etc...) weren't getting out since you're not all local to the server (I'll try not to be too geeky here...).

Anyways, it should be fixed, I've run some tests and they've all proven successful! Yay. Let's hope it all works for you. If you didn't get your validation emails, just hit up this link. Please do let me know if you're still having troubles.

Alright, so we've gotten about $200 worth of donations, that puts us at about $250 (I've got some funds I can donate myself, yay!). Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, I really appreciate it! We're getting closer to that new server every day!!

Oh, and not to sound to much like a loser, but I am looking for some new friends, check out

jimmy's profile, if you've got similar interests and stuff let me know!

Ok, over and out my little journalists!

	Thank you for putting in the time to fix the validations. I really appreciate that! I just have one question, the names being given out, will the ones who were now able to validate still be on that list, or are we safe now? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Hi Liv, We won't be running the lists until the end of the month, so as long its validated by then you're fine. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Hey! First off, great job on fixing validations! Rock on.

Second! I registered the username amelias last night, as well as donated $40 and asked to have it, along with some other u/ns paid. When I tried logging in this morning, the username was gone, deleted, disappeared--whatever you want to call it, it wasn't there. I re-registered it, but I was wondering if I could get the paid status put back on it? I still have the PayPal receipt with the usernames in it, so I can forward you that if need be.

Thanks!

	Uuuh, that's really really weird...I remember setting them, so you want amelias to be paid status? I can definitely do that, just let me know :) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thanks for the update! It's so nice to hear actually responses to problems, your work is much appreciated. :) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-01-06 11:24 am UTC (link)
	Hehe yeah, I try to post updates to issues. It's probably not right to leave you all hanging. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I definitely don't mind donating to a site we actually get feedback from. You're doing a great job with the site and when I get paid, I'm definitely donating! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-01-06 11:25 am UTC (link)
	Awesome, it'd be much appreciated!! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	jimmy 2008-01-06 05:48 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah it definitely is a strain, I will have to look into pagination. It's probably the one of the biggest strain on the servers. Either that or I'd like to figure out how to get them hosted on a faster server. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I get all excited every time I see actual updates, I just want to dance. Jimmy for president '08. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-01-06 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	Hahah oooh I hate politics, if I was president...hrmm, I shouldn't start dreaming :P (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valo 2008-01-07 03:42 am UTC (link)
	Wow, I love you already. I would totally donate, if I had a means with which to do it...but I don't. :( Sorry! However, I friended you! I saw a few similar interests in there somewhere. You seem like a cool guy either way. :) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-01-07 02:35 pm UTC (link)
	Awesome, I'll friend you back! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I actually made a multiple icon uploader. If Jimmy doesn't mind, I'd be happy to share it with everyone :) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ludivine 2008-01-07 12:03 pm UTC (link)
	Butting in here! If you have the icon uploader that was floating around Greatestjournal, it works here, too. Just edit the .bat file in Notepad or whatever. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh! And I was just informed that even if I donate or not, then my accounts only last for a certain amount of time. .. That true? 'cause if it does, that reallyreallyreally blows. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	poorlilrockstar 2008-01-07 07:46 am UTC (link)
	I'm not sure if you addressed this anywhere before, buuuuut I was wondering about paid accounts? I'm planning to donate when after payday XD but what are the benefits of having a paid account? Are we allowed to have more than one account listed as paid depending on the size of our donations? Thanks in advance, and thanks for taking the time to answer to everyone! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Hi, I'm new to scribbld but loving it already. I DID get a validation email and clicked the link yada yada...that's all fine. However, I'm NOT getting email notifications when someone leaves a comment on my posts. Is there a reason why? (Reply to this)

	coco 2008-01-12 05:15 am UTC (link)
	Ah, really, thank you so much for keeping us informed about everything. You rock a whole lot! (Reply to this)

	Hey Jimmy, really sorry for being a pain, but I just created a journal (baddock) and I'm not getting the validation email. Even after I clicked on that link up there :/ Help, please? (Reply to this)
