A world where some people go naked at all times.
Oh man, dealing with this has been annoying. And it’s not over yet. But I think I have the forms working again.
So if anyone submitted something in the last month or so and has neither seen it posted nor got a reply from me, I guess you can go ahead and try sending it again. Definitely still hang onto those pictures though, because I’m not totally confident in my system yet. To spare you the gory details, got the old setup working again, but I still want to try something else and see if it’s a little more confidence-inspiring.
Direct email submissions mostly work, but there does remain a risk of getting it bounced, zip files in particular are apparently unwelcome on the mailing service. (But you should at least get a message back if your email doesn’t go through.). I will have an alternate (hopefully more reliable) email address also available soon.
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.
