The Yahoo email address domains have now been banned from signup. Yahoo falsely blocks emails from the server because of a very outdated IP block that covers our hosting company (many moons ago some Russian spamhouse used their services). Because of this emails sent to Yahoo never arrive. Multiple people have tried to sign up then cannot validate their account as the email never arrives.
To stop this problem being a constant issue the Yahoo domains have been blocked from use by users. It won't affect current users, but new registrations won't accept Yahoo any more.

Arnie, I am using a yahoo email address, and I registered before this new ban on yahoo emails. Should I change my email address? I have been getting emails from this site fine (pm notices, subscriptions, etc)
Cheers

Errr this may just be Yahoo.com ones, as I have always found that the yahoo.co.uk ones are fine. AOL on the other hand......
I mean, come on. It doesn't take the brains of an Archbishop to figure that it's not a good idea...

With the new box and IP change we aren't flagged anymore, so the ban on yahoo will be lifted in the next upgrade.
