Some of you are experiencing an interruption of service by not being able to post threads, blogs & upload photos.
The problem may have to do with your email account not accepting mail and if so, the account has been reverted back to its original state before you validated the account in the beginning.
I'll do my best to explain why this was done and how you can resolve it, however do know that your account is perfectly intact and can be accessed by following the steps below.
If the email address you have on file no longer accepts mail, then all communications from us are bouncing back; including email notifications for thread/blog/pm replies, gallery subscriptions and newsletters.
When your email service provider's servers (ie: Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) receive these emails, they get reported back to them saying we are spamming their servers to bogus accounts and then they block our domain.
This means everyone else at that service provider does not receive their email notifications and newsletters at all, which is obviously not fair to them.
This also affects our online senders rating, labeling all of our emails as spam, when we send mail to these expired email accounts. If all of our emails go to spam traps, then our mission and all efforts become worthless.
So our host made us develop a script to scan the database each week for these accounts that are no longer active and send them back to the "Users Awaiting Email Validation" usergroup, which requires a link to be clicked on, to validate the account again. This is the same exact process you went through when you first joined.
If you are able to access the email address on file, please re-activate the account to gain access. In some cases you may be able to re-register expired email addresses with your service provider, if nobody has taken it by now.
Use this link to change your email address, which will send you a new activation email to validate the account.
If you are able to access your email account however unable to understand these instructions, please send us an email from that account to support@420magazine.com, so we can send you another email link to validate the account again.
If you are unable to re-activate or re-register your email address on file, then we may not be able to give you access as it would violate our security guidelines in place to protect our members from law enforcement and/or ex-spouses.
To avoid this from happening in the future, please do not let the account expire, get full or block our emails or this will happen again in a week when our script searches for expired email addresses.
If you did this purposely to avoid email notifications, you can edit your settings here to turn them on or off for thread, blog & gallery subscriptions, as well as the newsletter.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for your understanding and support, we are truly grateful.
