It's a shame this takes so long - do you have all the support you need? I am sure there are a few Forum members like me that have experience in various IT related things if you need assistance!

I have instant email notices set for a large amount of the threads I post in in the Civ 2 section. I have not gotten an email in a long time either.

If Gmail is the problem or they are blacklisting CFC - then which email providers are allowing email from CFC? I do not mind setting up a different email account to get my messages again.
IIRC it's not the email providers which have blacklisted us, it is ISPs and 3rd-party companies who added us to spammer lists. This was due to an issue early in the year when hackers exploited a vBulletin vulnerability to use CFC to send spam out.
So it might help if we contacted our ISPs and explained that CFC isn't spam?

Who is in charge of such a list? Somebody has to be responsible as an incorrect block is a serious legal issue. Imagine if something like gmail.com ends up in the list. We would quickly see a lawsuit unless it is corrected right away. Why should CFC accept being on such a list even though it isn't a billion dollar company? Accepting is kind of like closing a company because we people don't want a company with scary people and there were a burglar, who turned out to be scary. That makes no sense at all.

I currently have the box at the bottom of posting a thread set as "instant email notification", but for some reason I never receive emails when people respond. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
Carl

1. This belongs to a different forum
2. I have not gotten a single e-mail from civfanatics for months :3

All I can tell you is what I know and that is that our Administrators are working with our host to isolate and try to solve the problem. How long that might take is an open question.
It's been SIX MONTHS. Not even Freecycle glitches when Shaw thinks we're spam take this long to resolve.

I have noticed that when on my android mobile, I am redirected to a blank, white page when tapping on a Google search result on Google that would otherwise take me to a forum thread page here on CFC's forums, and a "Keep In Touch With Tapatalk!" title in the address bar. Might that be contributing to the issue at all?
Edit: Here's the link, since I was able to replicate it.

And the original google search:

Might this issue be one of the contributors to the problem?

I've already given up at this point at waiting for a fix.
