I have a good portion of my Emails running through MLS using the "forward" feature to send them to my home Email addy.  I have been waiting for several Emails routed through MLS to arrive but so far they are 'no-shows'.  Did anything change?  Do I need to do anything differant?

Uh-Oh! you missed the warnings that the MLS e-mail feature was going away in December of last year!

Make sure the email address in your profile is good. It's also possible that a spam filter is catching it.

 

[PeteH]

Alright, seems to be working OK now. Is it true the Email will be going away? Say it ain't so!!!!!! I have used the Mylargescale.com Email addy for ALL my contacts for the past several years - I shudder to think of it going away!

It WAS to go away and along about December 17th I could no longer log into it. I can't even find a way to get to it at this point. It just aint there anymore. I sent from my MSN address a message to my MLS address earlier this evening (5:00 PM CST) to see if it would forward it to my regular e-mail address... so far no-go. (9:45 PM) But Shad's reply seems to imply it might still be forwarding e-mail.

 

[ShadsTrains]

Yeah, I never got around to making the changes.  Got too involved in getting the new forums online.  It's coming soon though.

Oh bugger, this is not good. I had planned on moving and will not be able to use my current Email address so I have been using my MyLargescale Email for all my contacts for the past couple years thinking I would be here on MLS for a long time knowing the service was part of my paid membership. I think it only fair to say out load that I am not at all pleased to see this service removed, even more so when you consider it was a service I willingly paid for.

Not so kind regards,
PeteH

This change has caused quite a problem for me as I was not aware of this change, now I have to update all my contact e-mails in all the places I am registered (even here), it was also the number one reason for keeping the membership alive, besides the community of course.
Was there a big "WARNING" e-mail sent on this? cause I sure missed it if there was.
I struggle to even think of all the places I have used this e-mail for contact info, as it was my default adress...

Not happy

I don't know if an email was sent out, but a 6-page poll was taken between August and November in the old 1st Class Lounge, and an announcement was made on Dec 4th, also in the 1st Class Lounge.

seems like the mails still get trough, (albeit slowly) so I have a chance to change my registrations.

In his Dec 4th announcement, Shad said...I realize that there is a handful of you that use your MLS email daily as your regular email address. I am willing to work with you on a case by case basis. Please contact me via email or the feedback form and I will work with you.
You might want to send him a PM and see about keeping your address.

 

[Hagen]

No, this is my fault exclusively, I have just not kept up with the updates as I should have done.
I do think it would be a good idea for Shad to send an e-mail about this topic, and only this topic, to registered members. This information does get buried in the regular content in the newsletters.
I am aware now and I am in the process of changing e-mails at places I frequent.
