It's not disabled, but for some reason emails from the forum are messed up these days....

I can't register either (well, I can't login). I tried with different emails but never arrives the activation part so I can't login . Maybe am I banned or something? (My IP)
I think I posted in the wrong thread or maybe a video with wrong format, sorry, I don't know if this information is relevant for register

I don't know how to write to the Administration team! I don't find the "Contact form" part

Any help is welcome, thank you in advance

This "bug reporting" thread is apparently the only way to contact an admin, but they would have to be monitoring it, and that seems to be sporadic.

As for your particular problem, did you check your Spam and Junk email folders? Perhaps emails from this forum are ending up there.

Thanks for your answer Johnnydeep!
I checked spam, yes!
This problem of not receiving the activation email has been going on for weeks (at least for me), but now I have a solution thanks to Geckzilla!

I hope it can be fixed soon

So what was geckzilla's solution? (I'm not seeing it in any post above.)

I just went into the admin panel and manually activated the account.

Thank you ^^

Hello there! I've got a question, why the private messages I'm trying to send are stuck in Outbox instead of going into sent messages section?

Yes, I see that too. My private message to you just now is still stuck in my outbox. And so is a message I sent 15 months ago! Strange. When did this last work properly I wonder...

But I received your message! Does this mean even those in outbox have actually reached their receivers?

Apparently not. The message is no longer in my outbox. Not sure how long it took though. Are your messages still stuck in the outbox?

I've noticed that messages can hang around in there for a long time even after they appear to have sent. Maybe they get cleared by a cron process or something periodically, rather than by the code that actually sends the message.

Geck told me it'll stay in the outbox until the recipient reads the message! It makes sense now!

I suppose, though that behavior is certainly not intuitive. But at least it provides a good way to check if the messages you send are getting read!

I finally updated the board software and manually activated a bunch of the accounts that were sitting in the inactive list. Maybe it will work appropriately now.

Huh. And just an hour or so after you posted this, I received an email notification that you had posted your reply. This is remarkable because I have not been receiving any email notifications for the past 9+ months! The email was sent to my special gmail address which had "+asterisk" appended to my gmail ID which was my attempt to get the notifications to work again, but it hasn't worked until just now.

So, does what you did to my account explain the sudden email notification success?

I didn't do anything to anyone's account specifically. I just updated the board software, which is a task I have put off for a very long time.

So, there was a bug that caused email notifications to suddenly not work for some, but you fixed it?

That's what it seems like to me.

The image link for today's (December 21, 2023) APOD appears to be broken - clicking on the image on the APOD page returns a "NOT FOUND" page.

The api doesn't show that there should be a number at the end of the hdurl image name (should be https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2312/C ... tt1024.jpg instead of https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2312/C ... rtlett.jpg) but clearly it's required for both the link and the hdurl image name.
