Please forgive my ignorance ."Email texts where?", I cant type text in the main body of my Email ,as I have done here.

"Which webmail provider?", It's just a standard Hotmail account, is that what yo mean ?

Thanks.

"Hotmail" uses several sites to get you what you actually see on screen. You need to at least temp allow: hotmail.com, live.com and wlxrs.com. I think your problem is that wlxrs.com is blocked.

When the user says "Hotmail troubles" in the title, then provider would be Hotmail, aka Microsoft, let's not just ask silly questions and leave. Ok?

@Benny, as Sorwen said, you need to allow a couple domains and it will work fine. All you need to allow are:

live.com
hotmail.com
wlxrs.com

and you are good to go. The rest you can block and it won't affect you.

When someone (or at last many times when I) read a thread the subject line goes by the wayside.
So if pertinent data is not presented in the thread body I am apt to miss it.
Many a time I will ask a "silly" question only for someone to come along & quote what had been in front of me all along.
Then it is like DUH, but still not silly.

PS: outlook.com is coming our way

@therube, I respectfully disagree, support means pay attention to all the information, the topic of the thread is as important as the content or it wouldn't be there or required. Anyone who misses it is just being incompetent, and that's silly indeed.

And yes, outlook.com is coming, which is good to finally standardize the domain but the unfortunate part is that they will still let people keep their hotmail, live and msn.com emails, so that means that someone who has xyz@hotmail and xyz@live and xyz@msn and xyz@outlook could all be different people as they often are and that is something I can't stand but such is life with free services, specially when one keeps buying another.

If I remember correctly it didn't say that in the beginning. I doubt I would have missed it.

It does and it has, from the beginning the subject of the topic has been "Hotmail troubles" so it clearly states it. Its the topic title for goodness sake.

How do you know? Has phpBB now also a history feature?

NO need, I know for a FACT. You screwed up, admit it and move on. The fact is that the subject of the topic has been "Hotmail troubles." and I know this was there from the beginning because your hit and run reply contains the following subject which shows that when YOU replied it was that because your post has the subject "Re: Hotmail troubles." Anyone with a small amount of common sense can see it. So yes, I know for a fact and you missed it, simple as that. No history feature needed as its built into the common function of the application. Everytime you reply to something, your caption becomes RE: <topic> and yours indicated it was that when you replied to it. Any other questions or fruitless attempts to prove otherwise or suggest that the topic magically renamed itself? And since the OP is guest, they CANNOT rename the subject line, so it is as-is from the beginning when they post. So you replied to it with that subject line, simple as that.

Good point, seems like I really screwed up,

I am aware of that I am sometimes just skimming through the threads but I genuinely had not expected me to miss something in the title, but will you look at that, I really did. Oh and thanks for letting me know that guests can't edit their posts, would have expected it to be possible (at least for a certain time, e.g. session).

No biggie, it happens. I didn't expect it to turn into something this big, it was supposed to be a comment, take note and move on but it ended up becoming this huge back and forth discussion and glad that its over and if something good came out of it, the better

We have ALL missed something at some point, but usually on REALLY LONG threads. Even Giorgio has admittedly often responded just by reading the first post and the last few posts and nothing in between when it gets long, I am almost the same way. As far as I know, ONLY TOM actually does the due diligence of reading through EVERY WORD no matter how long it is. Not to say the rest of us don't but the longer the thread gets specially with unnecessary posts, the less likely we read EVERYTHING.

As for Guest, they can only post, they cannot edit their posts, they cannot delete them and they can only post another item as a follow-up if they forget something, we are normally the ones who change the subject to mark it as resolved or whatever when its done by prepending the codes to the subject. Only registered users can modify and/or delete their posts and even then we can lock the post to prevent editing or deleting if it is something we feel is necessary to preserve the integrity of the post/content/or the site. But unfortunately for the guest, once they hit that submit and it is posted, that's the end of it, no more going back.
