On this list I do not see my UserID.

Hi Ristet, thanks for the heads up, I'll remove it.

@editors, I think I had modified the tag display script to--when logged in as an editor--include the tagging users. Did someone [accidentally|intentionally] revert that? It made it easier (it could be done entirely through the website, without going into the database) to scrub related errant tags.

Help! I can't sign in—it says I need to enable cookies. All cookies are enabled on my browser. Any suggestions?

If you have any browser plug-ins, try disabling them.

I can receive emails from the site just fine. The problem is there's no way to get it verified.

Although I couldn't receive the required email, I cheated by looking at the undelivered email sent to chessvariants.com. Using the code provided in that email, I was able to verify my email address after I fixed some bugs in the change_password.php script. Basically, I had misnamed some columns by reversing the order of the two words composing their names. So, if you can get the email, you should now be able to verify your address.

When I tried to test the script for verifying email with my Yahoo address, I never got the email. Looking at email sent to chessvariants.com, I see an email about being unable to deliver this email. It will keep trying until it is five days old, which will be on the 18th. There is a similar email for you, as well as a subsequent one about your email being returned. It is looking like Yahoo Mail has stepped up its spam blocking, which is also blocking even more legitimate mail. Since this server runs on a VPS with a fairly unresponsive hosting company, I'm not sure what to do about improving our mail delivery. That is why I no longer require email verification for creating an account.

I have specially created a Yahoo account for the verification of my email address. It happens exactly what Máté Csarmasz described before. The verification simply does not work. In my person information the Yahoo address is still declared as unverified.

@Fergus,

I verified Máté's email address and set emailVerified in the database to 1 but I'm told he is still getting messages from Game Courier when making moves that his address is not verified. What am I missing?


Máté Csarmasz wrote on Sat, May 14, 2022 05:49 AM UTC in reply to Greg Strong from Fri May 13 11:02 PM:

Thanks. I got your email and replied.


Greg Strong wrote on Fri, May 13, 2022 11:02 PM UTC:

Hi Máté. I just sent you an email about this. We'll get you verified.

Hello @Fergus Duniho,

I can receive emails from the site just fine. The problem is there's no way to get it verified.

It didn't ask me to verify during the registration.

After registering, I found no menu where the verification was possible. The only way I found was clicking omn my own name in a game, getting here: https://www.chessvariants.com/who/csarmi

Now here I did have an option called "Verify Email" which takes me to this php: https://www.chessvariants.com/login/change_email.php?submit=Verify

It says this: Mail was sent from [email protected] to Máté Csarmasz

That does actually send me an email from [email protected] that contain a link like this (I've anonimized the keyword and code in there: http://www.chessvariants.com/login/change_email.php?userid=csarmi&newemail=([email protected])&keyword=(keyword)&code=(code)

Clicking that takes me to a page where I get this message:

"Please click the Confirm button to change your email address from [email protected] to [email protected]". There's a button called "New Email" where my email address is entered.

Looks like a change email form to me.

Nevertheless, I did click that button. After I've done so, the site still says my email address is unverified and I still don't get notification emails to my games.

So what should I do?

Máté

All that verification checks is whether you can receive our email. If you can't, then marking your account as verified won't fix that. If you really want to receive emails about your moves, I recommend using a Yahoo account, as it accepts our emails better than Gmail does.


Máté Csarmasz wrote on Wed, Apr 20, 2022 07:51 AM UTC:

Forgotten password doesn't work. I also couldn't figure out how to verify my email address as the site doesn't send a verification email. I can login, but it would be nice to get emails when playing.

@QIDb602, please email one of the editors if you haven't already to try to track down what's going wrong.

I cannot sign in after I forgot my password because it tells me to accept cookies even though I have already done so. Also, when I press forgot password, I get the message "Cannot continue, because no row in the Person table could be identified."

The link was using the PersonID as the value for userid. I changed it to use the UserID, and now it seems to work correctly.

I get the same thing when I click the "change password" link on my profile page. There must be a bug in the script.


Deep Thought wrote on Sat, Aug 7, 2021 04:45 AM UTC:

Just created an account. From this page I can login with my server-generated password. On the next page there is a 'change password' link. When I click on it, I get "Cannot continue, because the PersonID does not match any in the database."

I have modified the registration script to register new members without sending email. It will now display the password and provide some instructions for getting started. To make sure it works, I deleted one of my other accounts and recreated it.
