So it seems Gmail users are finding them in their Spam while yahoo users are still not receiving. Wasn't there an issue I believe I remember reading about yahoo not liking us?

I have not gotten any emails for threads nor messages since friday.. I have gotten messages dated sunday.. so.. Not even Admins are immune to the curse..
2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Folks I am awaiting a ref from.. Zack

Has Plarz been notified by anyone?
No need to duplicate efforts, if so.

Lower rating? You ship first.

Want my help with a BTR or backout? All messages sent/posted should be in CHRONOLOGICAL order. Otherwise, I just won't read it.

I know I haven't, I posted here as this is the first issue I've really had and had no clue what to do. Also Yahoo still isn't getting them today as I received another PM and no email to either folder.
Please respond to messages, even a fast "no thanks" would do so I don't have to wait around.
I am pretty busy most of the week so please be patient waiting for a reply. Past that when I'm home I check this every hour so should be a fast response.
-Thanks!

We get on Blacklists occasionally, due to the amount of outgoing email traffic because of notifications.
I'll PM him.

I have access to all the staff's contact info... but it's faster for me to PM him. Plus, it leaves a reminder on the site for him (friendlier).
