Exclamation Member Email Addresses

Every day I get hundreds of emails that notify me of site activity. That allows me to keep an eye on things without actually visiting the site. A growing number of those are now bouncebacks because of invalid email addresses in member accounts. This morning I received at least 25 bouncebacks. They are PMs, notices about posts in subscribed threads and most surprisingly, replies to classified ads. Many members are placing ads without checking if their member email address is valid. It's discouraging to see that so many replies to classified ads are not delivered.

A group of members with invalid email addresses are so active subscribing to threads that it creates a constant flow of bouncebacks. For those members I've been forced to change their invalid email address to a "blackhole" address so they don't flood my mailbox.

If you are an active member who wants to receive notices of posts in subscribed threads, replies, PMs or responses to classified ads PLEASE update your email address. You can do that by clicking "User CP" on the blue nav bar.

By the way, this site never sells or shares your email address with anyone. EVER!
