Hey,

I was trying to get into Mantis and register an account, but I kept getting an email error. Thus I could never finish the registration of my account. Even tried the "Lost your password" link, but to no avail. What gives?

Registration with Mantis is a little flaky at the moment. It's being worked on.

The email stuff is being worked on, I'll get an ETA, sorry about that. Didn't realize it killed registrations.

I am told the email stuff will be sorted out in a few more days, end of the month.

IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES WITH FS2:
  • Please, please, please, READ and UNDERSTAND the sticky threads in FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support board.
    A lot of people are willing to help you, but, as anyone can understand, seeing the very same "issues" repeated again and again can become quite depressing. Please, spend a bit of time trying to solve the issue by yourself.
    (Lobo deserves a monument).
  • Then, if you aren't still able to solve your issue, feel free to ask for help in that same board.
    FYI, most of the troubles are caused by wrong mod installations which lead to either missing data or undesired cross-effects between them. Always follow the mod installation instructions and keep a clean FS2 installation as explained in the sticky threads. Two additional links about how the game handles game data:
  • If you think that you've discovered a bug, mantis it.
    Provide as much info as you can, and try to narrow it down. A lonely "FS2 doesn't work" is not a good report.

Nope, still failing for me. Both signing up and the lost your password function are still not working for me. Perhaps you could delete the previous account I attempted to make? Maybe that's the bug? My username for mantis was going to be tomlikestorock (if I try any name, it still fails).

Are you using hotmail or one of the other "bad" email systems? Alot of them mark the mantis emails as spam...

It's not that I'm not receiving the emails, or that they're getting marked as spam, it's that Mantis crashes when it tries to send me one. It reports a blank page except for the statements "Could not instantiate email" or something like that, specifies a perl module, and reports the email it was trying to send to. If you don't believe me, please try to register a new account on Mantis for yourself. This is preventing me from helping to fix bugs and help out.
