How do I access the advert? The site won't let me in anymore? Says I am already a member but still not letting me in. I request a new password but it never turns up although the site is saying it has sent me a new one! I've checked I'm using the right email and user name. Not much else I can think to do. I used to be able to get in. All the best. Roy  < id="BFI_" style="width: 1px; height: 1px; display: none;"> |

That site has nothing to do with BHPC. I’ve no idea who the admins are to be honest. ------------- |

I've just checked, and YACF's password reset emails are working for me. What's your username over there? There's a RoyMacDonald last active 2020-07-17, 12:42:40 I'm not a YACF admin, just an active member. I wouldn't be here today without that forum introducing me to the dark side... Rogerzilla is the main admin, Charlotte sorts the money side out, and I'm not sure who's taken over with the unisex spaceadministry since Dez died (they tried to recruit me, but I pleaded a lack of Copious Free Time and a PHP allergy). Annoyingly, they've had to make the site members-only due to incessant crawling by AI bots overloading the server.

have you looked in your spam folder for the password reset? BTW I just reset my password with no problems.

Yes that's me. I'm using the right username and password and the reset emails are not going into my spam folder. I've checked everything I can think of. So I'm unable to get into the site anymore! Just tried it again with no success. Don't know if it's because I only use Thunderbird. but it's not going into my BT folder either. All the best. Roy |

Hi I've not been able to get on to YACF since about the middle of last year either. Most peculiar. I used to browse there from time to time though was not a member, then I started getting blocked. I don't recall ever posting. Perhaps I was erroniously getting blocked as a spammer, or there'd been a software update. I gave up on it after a few tries to register and log on. I'd recently seen the link about the Bachetta elsewhere, so followed it as I was curious. Still blocked. I tried to register again but failed several times, nothing in my spam. Ho hum. I've learned to live without YACF now.

As I said above, YACF has had to remove public access to the forum, because AI crawlers were accessing it at such a rate that it was overloading the database and causing an unacceptable slow-down for human users. This is deeply suboptimal, as it also blocks casual readers and search engines. But it does now work properly for logged-in users again. I've no idea what's happening to your registration emails. I know there have been transient problems with exim on the server in the past, but it seems to be sending mail fine at the moment. Maybe they're falling foul of overly aggressive spam filtering, which is becoming a real menace for anything automated.

I'm having trouble adding the image, does that not work here? A couple of things worth clarifying, from questions from the previous interested party: It has 11.5" boom Fitted with rim brakes, the frame has bosses for discs. |

I don't think any of that applies to my BT email address Kim. it's roy123456 (at) btinternet.com. Unless they use a special server unlike anyone else's. And why did they used to accept it but no longer do? But thanks for the info. All the best. Roy |

*waves magic admin wand* It works, it's just horribly unintuitive. You need to use the add image dialog, give the url, then click preview in order to enable the OK button. (Alternatively, upload the image and select that.) When adding URLs, the dialog likes to prefix an additional http:// on account of trying to be clever.

The sequential digits might fall foul of some online spam filter, I guess. I'll message roger and see if he can reset your password directly.

Roger says he sent you a new password yesterday. If you didn't receive it, it's probably because BT are binning everything from yacf.co.uk

IN another hat I run a mail system for a small charitable organisation. We have endless problems sending mail to both btinternet.com and hotmail/outlook.com addresses. The spam filters on these two systems are not only unusually aggressive but also silently discard suspected spam email without notification to either sender or recipient. Most mail systems respect SPF, DKIM and DMARC message authentication but BTinternet and Outlook will discard even perfectly authenticated messages. To accept a message for delivery or relay and then to just delete it seems a clear violation of SMTP protocol but that's what they do. The users of these systems must be missing substantial amounts of mail without knowing it - much of it will be junk but a small amount will be genuine stuff. Unfortunately the only solution is to change your email provider. Even Gmail returns rejection messages to senders and spam notifications to recipients.

In an ideal world, the BT/Outlook/Hotmail/Gmail users would complain to their provider that
their service was losing mail and was therefore unfit for purpose, or indeed move to another provider that doesn't. What
actually happens is they complain to $small_organisation that their
messages aren't getting through, and that everything would be fine if
only they ditched that weird info@smallorg.org.uk thing in favour of a
smallorg@outlook.com (or whatever) address like normal people.
BT/Google/Microsoft know this, which is why they persist in doing it. |
