Players unable to register on DC-Talk

I was online with some new players today. Two of them at different times both said they were unable to register on DC-Talk. They couldn't receive the reg email or something of that nature.
Any thoughts?

It may be related to the problems on the SCHTServ forum, which also uses phpBB. Common US e-mail providers won't receive the confirmation e-mail, including GMail, Yahoo Mail, and MSN. If you register an account with mail.com, though, then registration works.

Mail.com you say? I'll try to contact them and let them know.
Many thanks.

I'll have to check things out. I did make some recent changes to the way the board sends emails. Definitely have them check their junk email folder too.

I'm glad it finally worked for you. I just made a test account and got the confirmation email on my gmail account immediately. I imagine sometimes the server is slow at sending. I hope it continues to work properly.
