i just tried to create in invite to the site for someone growing out a plant near me but it says i can’t validate from that email address. anyone know why it says that? it’s a yahoo email address, maybe some sort of discrimination against yahoo or something. i’d like to know why it isn’t allowed if it’s really not allowed.
I would just PM the @moderators and ask man.
normally i would agree with you but sometimes information like this can help others having a similar issue and alleviate so many pms to mods. i mean it may not be much of an issue, but yahoo email addresses are pretty common so others may wonder why also. it’s also not really important enough to bother a mod specifically, but if they wander onto this thread they can answer it. if they don’t that’s cool too. he can make a free gmail account to register if he has to.
It might not be the problem but I know I had to switch from Yahoo mail to Gmail long ago because some sites would not accept Yahoo mail for what ever reason.
I only said that because it’s likely they are the only ones who can answer this bud.
i understand, and i should have tagged them in it, but forgot because i was in a hurry. i like to ask questions about the site publicly unless it has a reason to be kept private. you are the bomb man, truly you are. one of the most helpful folks i know. have a great day!
Thanks man, I try to help where I can. I get why you were asking publicly, if it’s an issue for you, it’s likely an issue for others.
I was also wondering about this problem, not the Yahoo issue but the not being able to invite someone issue. I can easily give someone the site and say sign-up but wanted like a personal invite link from me, if OG even has one.
