Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How is "email an admin" supposed to work? Is it hard-coded to go to admin (at) buffistas (dot) org?

Or I suppose I just could check when I get home....

edit: There is also horrible anti-penguin violence going on at the test board.

See what happens when penguins get their own thread?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It goes to the e-mail of user #1.

I'm gonna go over and register -- can you set me up as admin in a little? And when you have enough users, you should take the register page down.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I tried to register so i can test, but the authentication email never came.

Oh.

There currently is no user #1.

That might cause a problem, no?

Heh.

And when you have enough users, you should take the register page down.

Good idea. But FYI I don't have SSH access to the board from work, as our firewall blocks those ports. And my boss inisists on doing all the firewall configuration himself.

I'll check in a few minutes for ita on the test board....

Oh, and do you suppose it would go to the admin of the test board, or the real admin of buffistas.org?

edit: ita, I activated you and made you a stompy.

edit 2: Duh, I reread ita's post...

Thanks, tommy -- I never got a confirmation e-mail, though, so I can't log in.

I'd set it up to go to you for now.

What user # did the users start with?

Huh. That's happened to a few people.

What user # did the users start with?

It was #1, but I deleted that user (who was admin) and added admin in again, so now the first user is #2 or something. But this is just a data issue, and easy to fix.

ita, I reset your password--maybe you'll get this email....

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Hotmail sent my confirmation to my "Junk Mail" box. Maybe it got filtered by other people's software, too?

Oh, this might be related to the admin not being user_id=1 thing. In my confirmation emails, there was no sender, so maybe some spam filters are blocking it for that reason.
