Hello,
Forgive me if this thread is in the wrong place.
Users to my site need to register an account in order to place ads. Recently, a significant proportion of new users are registering but then failing to log in afterwards.
Can some of you guys register on my site and tell me if you are receiving the registration email. Also let me know if the email was sent to your inbox or spam/junk folder.
I have tested it myself obviously with different email accounts. A couple of times in yahoo, the email went to the spam folder, but in eircom.net, gmail, hotmail, it seems to go to the inbox. Why are my users having trouble? If you can shed any light I would appreciate it greatly.
One possible factor is that my users would be, generally speaking, middle aged people, or people who might not use the internet that much. To combat this, I have put instructions on the register page, and tried to make the process as simple as possible.
