IMPORTANT - If you're using private messaging...

... and you have a gmail account: Google is bouncing emails from the board with the following error:

Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550-5.7.26 This message fails to pass SPF checks for an SPF record with a hard
550-5.7.26 fail policy (-all). To best protect our users from spam and
550-5.7.26 phishing, the message has been blocked. Please visit

If you're relying on an email notification that you have new private messages, it will not reach you.

This also applies to thread subscriptions as well -- if you have a gmail address, email from the board will not reach you.

The url in the message does have information about how to prevent this which I am reviewing, but it's not going to be an instant fix.

Ah..I haven't been receiving notifications since I re-registered here, (I have a gmail address), this would explain why.

Google's gotten shite.

One of our suppliers sends us a lot of critical emails that forever get dumped into Spam, despite them being repeatedly being marked as trustworthy, as not spam, and being replies to emails I sent.

But the emails from chinese companies too shit to even be sold by alibaba are still getting through without a hitch --- marked as Important, no less. The actual spam still makes it.

I fucking hate tech. Nothing works. But that's OK because lol Unicorns.

When I visit my Kickstarter activity page in Chrome, I like to open the links for viewing in separate simultaneous tabs. (They tend to be a mix of recent updates on campaigns I've backed with interesting campaigns backed by creators I follow.) Lately, once I get about a dozen tabs open, KS, in collaboration with Chrome, pops up an interstitial page stating, basically, that they suspect me to be a bot, requiring me to press and hold a button on the page (this involves clicking on it and holding down the mouse button until it fills like a progress bar). The list of reasons for their suspicions includes the possible use of things that interfere with Javascript, and specifically cites ad-blockers as an offender in this area.

People on my Tumblr dash say I should abandon Chrome for Firefox by year's end. On desktop, I may not wait that long. Thank you for not escaping my TED talk in time.
