Nude World Order

OK, so it looks like the problem is not with the form itself, rather the submissions are getting caught as spam before I receive them. Unfortunately this is not on my end, or even my ISP, but at a third-party service I’m using. This leaves a few possible solutions. I’m trying to get my site’s IP address taken off the spam list, but who knows how that will go. I don’t want to rely on that. I could also ditch that 3rd party and use something else. But probably the best thing is if I can set it up so submissions don’t have to go trough email at all. And it looks like that should be possible, but I’m still too busy with the holiday (visiting family and stuff) to really dig into setting it up.

Oh, and to top it off, direct email might not be working as well as I thought. Someone just reported that attempting to send me a zip file bounced. Arrgh. Obviously I have alot to sort out. But I’ve got some ideas what to do now,  I just don’t have the time to do it at the moment. Probably this weekend.

I’ve just been talking with Tales of Nudity , who also had their Tumblr terminated, and surprisingly they actually got it back! Now when mine got terminated they did actually give me a reason, however harshly I feel they handled it, so I doubt if I could get it restored. But if anyone else got theirs shut down with no warning or explanation, like Tales apparently did, contacting support might just be worth a shot.

My damn contact and submission forms are broken again, and really hate to say it, but they probably have been for some time. I had noticed a slump in submissions, but I naively assumed that’s all it was. I still get a few through Tumblr or by e-mail so it took me longer than it should have to notice I was getting zero through this site. I only caught on when someone told me through another channel that they sent something I didn’t receive.

So the bottom line is, if you sent me anything recently at all, like the last month, and you’ve neither seen it posted nor got a reply from me, it’s almost certainly because the gremlins ate it. You are more than welcome to send it again, but you’ll have to either send it by email (address on the submit page) or hold off until I get things straightened out. At this point, I still don’t know exactly what’s going on, so it’s not likely to be a super quick fix I’m afraid.

I’m very sorry about all this. It’s the downside of managing your own site I guess.
