Invitation not working
May 28 2009, 3:52 PM EDT | Post edited: May 28 2009, 3:52 PM EDT
I am unable to send invitations from by site!! I have tried turning off the spam filter but it is just not working. The site is a private site that students are working on. I now have two kids who can't participate because because emails are not coming from the site. Any suggestions? http://evolution2b.wetpaint.com/invitations Do you find this valuable?

Please try to resend the invitations and make sure that you add something in the "Your name" field. Even though it says that field is optional, we are investigating a possible bug where invitations fail if nothing is entered in that field. Do you find this valuable?

What are the student's email providers? I know that Wetpaint is having some issues getting their emails past Yahoo! Do you find this valuable?

Our email delivery issues at Yahoo have been cleared up for several weeks now. Occasionally there are problems getting emails past firewalls at universities and school districts - .edu addresses. So that might be it, but I suspect it's the bug where there is nothing in the "Your name" field. Do you find this valuable?

Oh! Well, there is your answer. I know that recently my county banned the usage of Wetpaint. A lot of students liked Wetpaint, and when they got the time to use the computer, that is what they did! There was a problem with a site created here that caused drama at the school.

A lot of school's do not allow Wetpaint and many other, non-educational, sites through their blocked list/firewall. But, if most of your county/state/university uses Wetpaint in the classroom, I do not see the reason why it wouldn't work! Do you find this valuable?

YES! KimberlyB that was it. You saved the day! Who would have thought filling in the optional name field was the trick. Thank you very much Do you find this valuable?
