Title: Forum Doesn't Like Special GMAIL Email Code
Post by: TCK! on May 06, 2008, 08:34:14 AM
It says it accepts it but it's a no-go :D

I had to change from my normal MYEMAIL+DMF@gmail.com to just plain MYEMAIL@gmail.com

Adding the plus lets me know if this account has been hijacked by a spammer and what forum the spammer got it from...

oh well.. I guess I'll just have to risk it..

Not until I told it to change my email address from one with "+" to normal. It's a problem on some websites, it's just a setting on most forums (at least on the one I run; it is a setting on phpBB3) where you can allow or disallow special characters in emails. Not a huge deal really, just a handy thing for keeping track of where you email got leaked to spammers.

I do the same thing.  The first time it rejected me, but I just resubmitted and it worked fine.  Got my activation email fine. wt:

This was during the activation? It said it was fine for mine as well, I just never got the activation email. Maybe I'll try to change it in my profile and see what it says now.
