    Default Mailing List Error

    I tried to subscribe to my own mailing list and i get this error when trying to confirm my email address, why?

    Mailing List


    Confirmation error. Your confirmation code is invalid, we can't find your code in our database.

    I have in my summary list over a dozen mailing list subscribers but no one is able to confirm their registration because of this error.

    So the summary shows over a dozen subscribers but only 1 email address. Is anyone having this same problem?

    dody you have the emails set up to only 20 character limits when some emails are longer. This is creating a problem because when i try to view my subscribers emails which are longer than 20 characters, it gets cut off and doesn't show.

    I thought this was just a template error but when i tried to send out email to my mailing list no one is getting any email.

    Why is this happening?

    You can alter the table to have more length, execute the following query in query box (alter table)

    alter table idx_mailing_list change email email varchar(100) NOT NULL

    You can also force email form with max length,

    <input type=text name="email" size="30" maxlength="30">

    thanks dody, I can now view the entire email address. Please make sure this fix is included in the next version.
