Problemas con la palabra del día: still not solved!

Question

I`m on the mailing list (I have double checked), but stopped recieving the word of the days many weeks ago. And yes- the box is ticked.

What is the problem? How can it be solved?

Gracias.

Answer 1

Maybe you can try this.

Go to the main page here and look at the bottom right of the screen area. It has a space where you can put your email address in to receive the Word of the Day. Maybe it just needs this refresher with your email.

Who know why these silly things happen?!

Hehe, sweet Marianne - that has also been tried, but no still no luck! - Thomas-de-Noruega, Oct 26, 2009

Well, that's a bummer. Let's hope official help comes soon. - --Mariana--, Oct 26, 2009

Answer 2

Try adding the email address spanishdict.com sends you mail from as a contact. They mails maybe going to spam or junk by mistake.

I`ll sure try it! Thank you! - Thomas-de-Noruega, Oct 26, 2009

Answer 3

All the above suggestions have been tried - none of them solves it.

Others?

Try signing up for the word of the day from another email account (different email provider), if you get emails at that account, then its your current email provider that the issue is with - cheeseisyummy, Nov 2, 2009

Answer 4

qfreed - If you have system admin access, check your mail logs to see if the emails have actually made it to the server and perhaps rejected for some reason. There should be an error message if so. Of course, this all assumes you have access to email logs on the server.

Actually I checked my email provider's safe list and found a few links for spanishdict.com, but I also found a few links for spanishdict.com in my blocked senders list. Now that I've removed them maybe the problem is solved. - 0074b507, Oct 26, 2009

Hopefully it is fixed, Good luck! - cheeseisyummy, Oct 26, 2009

Yes, it did solve my problem. I'm again getting email from Spanishdict.com. - 0074b507, Oct 26, 2009

Yippee! - --Mariana--, Oct 26, 2009

Nice! :) - cheeseisyummy, Oct 26, 2009

Answer 5

I have actually not been receiving the word of the day either, for quite a while - couple of months maybe.

Answer 6

When you get that problem solved, tackle the one where some of us can't "follow this question". I get no email from this site, even though, I have allowed contact by the Administation as well as by other members. I don't get the word of the day by email either, even though I have the box checked on my profile page. (fortunately I can get it by RSS feed to my browser home page). It seems that some of our email addresses have been dropped or corrupted in the database. I'm just happy to still be able to login.

Hmm tough luck - suddenly my problems seems so far away ;-) - Thomas-de-Noruega, Oct 26, 2009

Answer 7

Hi Thomas. Go to "edit my profile" on your profile page and you'll see a box at the very bottom called "send me the word of the day." Make sure that the box is checked.

It is and always has been, but still no more daily words for me. Strange? But thanks for the tip anyway, you are too nice! - Thomas-de-Noruega, Oct 26, 2009

Hmm...you're right....very strange. Let's hope that Paralee sees the post and knows what to do. - --Mariana--, Oct 26, 2009
