AOL, Earthlink, Hotmail and other major ISPs are blocking important e-mails from this site and forums and improperly tagging it as JUNK or SPAM. This will prevent you from receiving log-in instructions, lost password requests, reply to your posts notification...

So everyone knows, by default whenever someone replies to your post, you will receive an automated e-mail notifying you of the fact. If you do not want these sent then please deselect this option from your settings in your profile, which is found under User CP:
http://www.discomusic.com/forums/usercp.php

As you all know this site does not SPAM or send out unwarranted e-mails so please be assured that you will not be barraged with e-mails.

Thanks.

Bernie: AOL doesn't work as easily as you think. It either allows all email, or blocks all email except for names on a list. That is rather stupid in my opinion, as how would I know about any future good emailers that I'd like to hear from, now? Maybe I'm missing some logic here, but from bitter past experience, computer logic and MY logic aren't in any way the same.

SFAIK the emails from Discomusic.com should have come through.
