Status: online 		Is slitherine down? Beginning a few days ago it stopped sending email notifications of new turns. Now I'm unable to log in and I get a message saying a new version (of what?) is available.

Status: offline 		Have you guys checked your spam filters? I'm still getting my notifications. When I started playing PBEM games through the Slitherine server, the first couple of notices went to my Inbox, and then all of a sudden, the notice went to my Spam folder. After flagging the service as "Not Spam" I haven't had any problems since.

Occasionally, the game list comes up blank when I get logged in, but refreshing the login seems to get the list back up. Not saying there wasn't a problem last night, but there are things on the user end you might try doing first to see if it is working.

Status: offline 		Not getting email is almost certainly an ISP issue - we've been seeing us getting flagged as spam more and more, probably because we're sending more and more email notifiactions as the PBEM server gets more and more popular. We're trying to chase them one by one, but it's pretty whackamole, so check your spam folders, and if it's simple pop off a mail to your ISP letting them know that you want mail from us!

Cheers

Pip

Status: offline 		I'll doublecheck my spam filter, but I haven't seen anything there last time I checked.

But I live in Moscow, am not really up for dealing with my ISP on this, too much of a pain.

Status: online 		It's almost certainly not an ISP issue, unless they delete messages before they even get into your account. Never mind, the automatic emails are the only benefit I can think of for playing server games, but we've still got old style.

Status: offline 		ISP will routinely actively filter spam that they have decided is spam, unfortunately, giving the end user no chance to tell them it's not. This happens because there are many many seperate and different organisations all keeping their own blacklists, and all retained by different ISPs. Frankly it's a nightmare!

Status: offline 		Just a note that I will try and get a WitE version of the automated tray tool done today, which means that you can get informed of turns even if the emails are failing to get through.

Cheers
