Increasing numbers of members using Hotmail accounts as their registered email address are becoming locked out because after changing their password here, or changing their email address to Hotmail, Hotmail's spam filters are not allowing our activation emails through.

Research tells us many forums are having the same problems and many have had to ban the use of Hotmail accounts entirely.

You guys need to know how to get in touch if you do get fall overboard.

You can get in touch by emailing


****@gmail.com

That's ONLY to be used if you're locked out btw.

However, we strongly suggest that you bodyswerve this problem entirely by simply changing your registered email address from Hotmail using your User Control Panel.
The same problem applies with Live.com and Me.com and Outlook.com (all Microsoft).

AOL has historically been a problem as well, and sometimes TalkTalk and Yahoo.

Gmail is a reliable alternative. Remember to look in the SpamBox for our validation email,

Now then. PLEASE DO NOT put that potukadmin address into your contacts. Just keep it somewhere so you can find it if you need it.

The reason is simple.

If spambot software gets onto your device we will be deluged with emails and then we'll have to block your email account from accessing the potukadmin account... and that will be the end of your lifeboat.

It's happened many times before as this info has been in our rules & guidelines for ages.

If you want to invite a friend then please don't send the invite to Hotmail because even if that one gets through, we now knopw for certain that you'll be inviting them into a dodgy situation. Just ask them to use a Gmail address instead.


Thanks folks

Stay safe and don't get locked out without a lifeboat
