so, it seems like a lot of people are having issues with private messages and also verification emails.

Whats going on MP?

Yeah I had trouble with verification email after changing my email address. An admin had to manually validate it, the email is really having trouble.

I would assume PM's are not working when posting for sale gear.

We're going to try a new mail provider today and see if that helps...

thanks. it seems like everything is working now.

working for me too - Sent myself a pm and got it in seconds.

Wondered why I never got any PM's — sent myself a PM as a test... twice. Never got anything. Hum.

I just tried sending myself a PM - it came thru in seconds. Gmail account. Seems the new provider they mention trying is working for me.

Sending yourself a PM before posting something asking for PM's sounds like a good idea given the checkered history of PM's here.

Any spam folder you can check?

Hum, interesting. PM did not work earlier this week, but does this afternoon. (Thanks MP, if you did anything!)
In case it helps: I'm on a Mac, running OSX 10.6. I've used both Safari 5 and Firefox 8 to try sending myself a PM in the past - both work this afternoon, did not earlier this week. My email account linked to Mountain Project is a .mac account.

i seem to be having this problem also. no pm's. i dont even see anything on any pages to check messages.......i sent myself a couple and nothing.......
