The issue isn't notifications on the site or PMs specifically, it's that certain people aren't getting emails. Please see my response to one of the aforementioned status updates as it links to the same thread where this is discussed in more detail. https://airsoft-forums.uk/profile/23439-armouredpiglet/?status=12246&type=status

For future discussion of this topic, please use this thread: Just to keep it all in once place. Thank you. Locked

Known. Trying to sort, but am having to liase between IPB and the creator of the framework for the Classifieds to find out what the root cause is.

Nothing I can do about emails currently - we are still being flagged for spam until people pitch in and help de-list us from BT/Yahoo addresses and/or BT/Yahoo pull their finger out. The only option other than this is to ban the use of BT and Yahoo email addresses so that we aren't blackballed from every email service that we use (we've already been through two these past 12 months). Please, if you have an @btinternet or @yahoo email address, do the forums a solid and mark it 'not spam' while I wait for their absent postmaster department to get back to us on what can be done about this. Until then we are using PHP Mail and sending them directly (which has a high rejection rate given how many we send out each day).
-
Just screenshot them and send them over if you like. I will surely be doing another pass some time this week anyway.

Particularly around the classifieds where I have made a lot of custom edits to better suit us, but this might require flicking between the light and dark theme (which isn't something I'd expect you to do). If you see anything that you remember being different in the light theme (that isn't just colour) that's the kind of thing I'm looking for
-
Refresh. Should be there now. Next to 'contact us'.
-
Ok, try it out. Scroll to the footer and under the 'theme' drop-down you should see the dark theme test. Relying on you lot to report any problems with it so that I can fix them

Give me 30 minutes.

Regarding the garbled emails, this is known right now and I'm simply having to rely on IPB's support to figure out the actual source of the issue as the usual logs I have don't point to anything being a problem: IPB are saying there's no problem on our end, and Sendpulse (the mailing company being used) are saying there's no problem on theirs either. I'm pretty sure this is the new SMTP provider causing issues and AWS (the old provider) is being extremely unhelpful also as the account was blocked because of @btinternet addresses dumping all of our emails into spam/rejecting emails outright. It's pretty much an waiting game right now as they (Sendpulse) request a bunch of pointless information about the formatting of our emails themselves (which are completely compliant because they're unchanged ones from a fairly large software company - IPB - so it's not like there are any problems with the markup/HTML/code that actually forms the body of the emails). Going to have to jump through these hoops first to prove our emails are as compliant as I know them to be before they will look deeper into what I suspect is something strange happening on their end. We can switch back to sending emails ourselves but that's just going to mean that we either end up on a spam list and/or emails don't get anywhere in the first place. We used PHPMail ourselves for a while in 2018 and emails were being rejected at a rate of about 60% I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate the following: If you have our emails going to your spam folder then please consider taking the time to unmark them as spam, unsubscribe from emails altogether or edit your communication preferences here: https://airsoft-forums.uk/notifications/options/. This could help a bit (especially with the quirky BT/Yahoo addresses that don't seem to observe any 3rd party ban lists - of which we are on none of - and instead enforce their own strange anti-spam). This is unrelated to the emails. I'll look into this and PM you back.
-
Because of the way IPB works a price slider is difficult, however we are now able to do price range filters. I've added a couple to get started but will ask around as to what the best price bands are.
-
Working on this. Won't be too long actually for at least a price range slider. Removing from searches may be possible post-sale, but I'll have to get back to you on this one.
-
There may be some fresh downtime in email sending today as a few things are messed around with. Please expect disruptions today (and possibly tomorrow). Sorry.

Important stuff in bold. Email delivery Recently a lot of emails being sent out (those for private messages, activity updates and - importantly - new user sign-ups) have been going straight to spam folders. Enough of these have gone to spam that the SMTP service (essentially the service used to send these emails) deactivated the forums account last week. This has meant people haven't been able to register for the forums at all and of course has also resulted in a lack of service for those of you who rely on emails to make sure you're logging in to respond to private messages. You may notice some emails still bouncing, particularly if using a @btinternet.com email address (as BT have a very strange and manual way of applying to be removed from their spam lists). This should hopefully all straighten out over the next few weeks (if not immediately) and emails will return to your inboxes. Until then, if you could do the forums a favour by marking emails that do end up in your spam folder - and which are clearly legitimate forum emails - as 'not spam', this might help. Particularly if you have one of the aforementioned addresses. Discord As discussed in a couple of places, the Discord has received a little love tonight. Using the new link in the sidebar on the home page of the website should now bind your forum account to your Discord account. If you are already on the Discord, you may wish to leave the server first and rejoin through this link. Additionally all forum notifications in Discord will go to a single channel - forum-activity - instead of the other discussion channels. This will keep all of the notifications in one place as an alternative to the original idea of spreading them out across many channels that have specific topics. The Discord banner will be moved to the top of the sidebar for the next week, but then will return to the middle of the sidebar. Thanks.

Though most from the end of last year were sent I noted a few stragglers in the list that were for some reason missed. Simple neglect on my part I'm afraid. Those of you who were waiting over a month should have received something a little extra for the wait. Sorry about that. To anyone still missing a patch: please PM or contact me via the admin form at the bottom of the page.

This advert is COMPLETED!
- For sale

New price as scope and DBLA to be sold separately. PDIK - dare I say it - DMR. Locked to semi auto and uses a pneumatic HPA kit (PDiK) so needs no battery. Internally regulated and has a 13ci/3000psi bottle in the Mancraft MASS stock. Has all the responsiveness of HPA but doesn't have an external line getting in your way if you're laying down a lot to snipe. Cerakoted in half graphite, half burned bronze mix. Not used a whole lot in skirmishing as sniping isn't for me Internals Mancraft PDIK engine Wolverine Storm v2 regulator PDI 6.01 barrel ProWin hop unit Flat hopped Externals Licensed SA receiver set from G&P Mancraft MASS air stock Cerakoted by Hi-Spec Coatings G&P MOTS wirecutter rail G&P rifle length outer barrel 5KU ambidextrous selector (does not work ambidextrously due to the way the PDIK works - one side of the selector is just for show, in short) 5KU ambidextrous mag release (this does work) Clone Harris style bipod Extras 6x no-name MOE-style midcap 70rd magazines with genuine Magpuls and Mapleleaf enhanced springs for reliable feeding Visionking 3-9x42 with clone Larue quick release mount (mount modified a bit underneath to stop wobble) SOLD G&P DBAL v1 (has the IR modes etc. working that you'd expect) Split into another listing Nuprol carry case with custom foam (pick and pluck but then sealed over with sprayable vinyl for longevity) Delivery & Payment If you really want to 'gift' your PayPal payment based off my previous feedback I will knock off half of whatever the fees are I will accept a return of this in un-skirmished condition within 30 days with no questions asked. I will also pay half of your return postage fees Delivery will be by Parcelforce 48 and I can dispatch within 3 working days of payment (probably sooner but can't be sure). I'm not really after swaps unless it's a pistol + cash my way. The regulator can be tournament locked, but it's little fiddly to do (not that you'd want to often). My availability during the days and evenings is very limited so viewing it in person will be difficult. This is why I offer a 30 day returns period and will pay half of the return postage if you change your mind.£490

I'm back towards the end of this week so will be able to send out any that are pending. Sorry for the wait over christmas but I've been mostly out of the country

To the guy who emailed me about changing your username: Please PM me here directly as I believe the email you gave me to respond to is incorrect. Cheers.

They mean close to absolutely nothing and they are simply a reflection of your post count. Except staff, who get a title so you know they are staff.
-
Send me a PM and I'll sort it
-
Finally all packed and in the post box as of tonight. Should have them by Saturday.
-
Hide it and never tell a soul just like me.

Only for the ones that have been delayed I'm afraid.
