Soap Scent Review Board

[dOttY]

Can anyone help me out? I tried registering with The Soap Scent Review Board, and for some reason, it won't accept my email address. It says it's invalid and not able to be used. It's a [email protected] address.

I think I used my main email address that comes with my internet service. You can trust them. :wink:

Dotty, the SSRB won't accept commercial email addresses - yahoo, google, msn, etc. You need something that doesn't end in .com

I had the same problem. They want you to use the address that comes with your Internet service provider. It can't be a free account.

 

[LauraHoosier]

Um, mine ends in .com but its an Insightbb email address. It went through with no trouble.

Yes, you can most certainly have an e-mail addy that ends in .com (for example: comcast.com, nc.rr.om, mysoapsite.com, etc...), but it must your paid ISP (internet service provider) e-mail addy. Registrations that don't meet that criteria will not be accepted. You can read all of this by clicking on the 'Before You Register' header in the announcement section on SSRB.

Since the original email addy ended in @msn.com then that is a paid ISP. Now if it was @hotmail.com then that would be a free email address.

Maybe because msn is associated with hotmail and live.com the site is viewing it as a free account?

I have an msn account and its free, the soap scent review would not accept my msn addy so I had to put dh's internet account address in.

 

[dOttY]

Yeh, I'm a bit miffed to say the least. I haven't registered as of yet.

worth getting into Dotty it is full of great info on so many fragrance oils

The SRB is something that Lilli put together and maintians for us out of the goodness of her heart. It is a FAVOR and not a right. Don't be miffed with her - she has had to make some hard decisions about how to manage the board because she has very little free time to maintain it. One decision she made was what addresses she would allow in - she has blocked free addresses as well as those that have a lot of spammers - because this is something she does for us AS A FAVOR in what little spare time she has. She gets no financial compensation for the SRB, she isn't an FO supplier or anything like that - just a soaper who shares her resources and knowledge.

If you don't have an address that works, borrow a friend's. I think in 10 years of belonging I've gotten 2 emails from her. One confirmation email (thanks for joining, click here to confirm your membership) and one telling us she had moved the site.

 

[dOttY]

I just want to clarify that I am not miffed at her, I'm just miffed that my email address isn't accepted. I do have an ISP address, but I don't access it. I was worried I'd miss out on any email content derived from the site, that's all. I totally understand, as it's horrid dealing with spam in my inbox, I could imagine the nightmare dealing with it on a website scale.

No offence intended

 

[carebear]

sorry for being so quick to leap to conclusions - I shouldn't have assumed. i completely understand.

Any idea if they'll accept college e-mail addresses? I technically don't consider my .edu e-mail to be free since I'm paying to go to school, haha.

 

[Relle]

You can put your college email addy in and if it doesn't accept it, it simply won't register you, easy as that and you have to find another to put in.

Carebear: May I make a request/suggestion that the Soap Scent Review Board address be put into a "Sticky" note? It seems that the request for the address pops up on a regular basis. And I know that it can be hard to "Google" if you don't know exactly what you're looking for.

It's a terrific resource and will only get better as more people use it.

:wink:
