Emails · 3:38am
As you've no doubt noticed if you're logged in, you'll have a message at the top of the screen saying you need to verify your email. As part of our server move we've had to update a lot of our email practices, and marking all emails as unverified was a necessary part of that process. Just click the link and you'll be able to verify your email.
Let me know if you have any issues. Updating your email in your profile will also prompt a reverification, but note you cannot do this more than once an hour.
You also now receive emails when people reply to your comments on blog post comments which wasn't enabled before. (Assuming you have the option selected in your profile)
If your verification failed, try again now, it should be fixed
EDIT: We haven't moved servers yet.

I clicked to verify, got the email, and clicked the link in the email, but it said there was an issue validating my email.
I have seen no such message
Thanks for being prompt
> There was an issue validating your email.
It keeps telling me that "There was an issue validating your email." What should I do?
>>268011 up at the top, above the bar with knighty's info
Inb4everycommentis "issue validating your email" related.
P.S; I'm having issues validating my email.

I accidently had a bit of code wrong in there when I uploaded it initially, you you might have done it before then. Does your email link have a blank code value in it?
Great, no matter how many times I refresh it, the captcha is displaying weird characters like pi and at least half of it is completely garbled.
Same with the "issue validating" here. Just sit tight and wait? Yup. Maybe we're spamming the service?
I'm getting an issue and I think I know why. The "code=" field in the link is left blank. That is, it goes http://www.fimfiction.net/index.php?view=validate_email&user=1400&code=
Just a guess, mind you, but it's what stands out.
Same problem, Issue validating email.
Edit: Email has a value for code, but it doesn't work.
Same as the others, got an "Issue verifying." message
>>268021
No, I tried it just now when you made this blog post.
>>268017
This might be because I adblocked that space when Knighty put up that banner when the Mic the microphone thing happened, because I was annoyed at it being there and the message it had
>>268021 Yup.
"http://www.fimfiction.net/index.php?view=validate_email&user=8762&code=" is what I've been given.
>>268010
Same for me.
Edit: and with the fix and a new email sent, it works. Yay.
I verified it, but the link in the email just led me to a blank screen that still had the "You are unverified" message on it.
I can't validate my email either. I'm also getting the blank code.
God damnit. Found what was wrong. Those of you who failed can try again.
Get the same error validating, but there's definitely a code in the link.
Edit: tried again and it's working now.
>>268031 here it is
Yah im getting the same "Issue with validating your email" message like everyone else
Pretty weird, I just did it and the tool bar stills says the email isn't verified. I logged out and logged back in to make sure, this thing's not going away. Help?
I just tried it, clicking my verification e-mail sent me to a page saying there was an issue with my e-mail
>>268037 Much better. Thank you.
I didnt even get the email. lemme check some stuff
>>268037 Working now! :D
And done.
>>268021 I didn't look at the link, I just clicked when it said "click here to validate your email".
>>268037
Yep, works now.
But the captchas are horrible. I needed to reset like a dozen times.
Never mind, worked for me now.
Nevermind, my email was mispelled
>>268037
Ok, that fixed it. Just had to resend the email, again...
What does this mean?
Done, worked perfectly fine.
There we go! Thanks Knighty!
Verified my email and logged in just to see this blog... Least I know why now.
Just did it, had no issues.
Easy as pie
My Hawian Punch tastes like crispy creams.
What do
>>268022 be thankful you even HAVE A Captcha! It won't show up at all on mine.
Does this mean I need to bid goodbye to my beloved 502fiction?
Oh, hey! We get emails for blog post replies now too? Cool.
Got it done!
Please get a different captcha creator. This one is damn near impossible to read.
ah geez
My avatar doesn't change, I want it to be medvedev's serious face
I've noticed that once you do verify your email it tells you that you can now log in, despite already being logged in. Is that like, the default thing for email verifications to say and you didn't change it? Or do you actually have to log in again?
Can I get a new e-mail address? The old one is lost to me now. Hijacked and the information changed so questions and other emails are out of the question.
>>268274
Just go to your account and edit the email. (Hover over your name in the user bar and go to edit account)
do i need to do this?
No issues here. Thanks for the heads-up.
Everything worked just fine.
Ye mightent of noticed this but ye misspelled verification on the email sent page.
Verifification email has been sent
I'm just glad to not see any more 502 messages. Those were a pain.
haven't seen anything like but i have noticed the format of the site acting rather... odd.
...you know what, you probably know of those problems already knighty if you've been working on the site recently
though i think that 502 banner art was rather fitting with all those errors hehe
I clicked to resend my email, but remembered my previous email is a dead link. I switched it to Gmail, but can't resend it. Help?
I resent my e-mail, and now I can't comment on any group I go to. Every time I try, the comment appears, but only as (guest) instead of me. And when I reload, it's disappears.
What happened? Help?
EDIT: >>268442 So have I.
Y'know, it's the greatest thing when you don't remember your e-mail password, your laptop is dead, and you can't change your e-mail password from your PS Vita...
In all respect for you, knighty, I ain't doing it, those messages beat the CRAP outta my email.
Mine still seems to not want it, then again I did just change the email so that probably screwed something up, then again I never check it anyway so not really an issue. But anyway Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash header is cute, just saying.
Worked fine, thanks!

Knighty ever since this change I'm getting messages for stories being added to groups, something which I previous had turned off. I can't find the option to turn it off again, was this a slight derp in the move?
>>268859
There's never been an option to disable that. It was just broken before.
Did it, but it keeps saying that it needs to be verified. What...?
>>268523 Does your email like it rough?
>>269039 Are you horny, or something?
>>268491 I seem to have the same problem. Otherwise, I think the verification process worked. But some captcha were a bit hard to decipher, I needed to reload a few times.
worked for me
hay it still dosen't work! i've sent it 4 times now, and no e-mail.
>>269414
Argh make it stooop! Same here. Please don't bug me to do stuff and then have it not do anything, it makes me craaaazy
>>269469 exactly!
we don't need to do this, it dosen't work, so let's just leave it, and forget about it.
>>269347
It's still not working.
>>268037
Found bugs in your code and realized it was a very silly mistake?
Do we need to verify our emails to continue logging in? Honestly, I never used email notifications anyway.
>>268872
I have a problem. → >>268491
YOUR CAPTCHA IS UNREADABLE /rageoff.
Fix it.
>>269049 Gee, what gave you that impression?
>>269564 I know that feel too
>>269049
Yes.
>>270050 NOT BIG SURPRISE.
>>270084
When you follow him, and look at all the blogs/comments posted, you see a trend.
I learned to go along with it.
>>270090 Trend:
*Annoying comment about grammar
*Only a picture or a Gif
*Sex joke
It's, "he".
>>270097
Of course.
A she wouldn't make that many sex jokes.
Unless it's a clop writer.
>>270102 Yeah, thanks for following! You must be an expert on portalzor AND good fanfiction!
>>269591
That's gonna be a devastating problem if that is true seein' as I can't make it send the email, so I hope I don't log out anytime soon
>>270090
>>269993
He's always horny. Bloody teenager. Or creeper. :D
>>270596
I take offense to that. The teen part.
>>270599
Huh? Nah, I meant iloveportalz0r.
>>270602
JK, i know.
>>270107
Yes.
And other things.
^ What
>>270841
Truth hurts.
Will FimFiction Gold members be exempt from email verification necessity?
but what if i don't want emails or that big notification
The recaptcha form didn't appear when using https the other day when I got the notice for this. It worked fine without though.
Speaking of which, can we pretty please get automatic rewriting of links for https?
Is there a chance I missed some story update notifications before I re-validated my email?
It told me off for having a very naught email address. Knighty, I think I might be in love with the new server. I imagine it having a severe shiny-black hairbun, hornrims, and a tartan dressing-gown. Also, I may have been reading quite a lot of Harry Potter recently, but that's very much by-the-by.
I would like to make some nerdy joke about ports and RJ-45 and FibreChannel but I'm not that much of a nerd... Amazingly!
So, just keep on keeping on. OE ELSE
>>278003
We're not on the new server yet bro <.<
