E-mail address suddenly invalid - unable to post

[ChrisM]

Yesterday morning I arrived for work as usual and accessed this site. Although I was automatically logged in as usual I was unable to post or send and DM as I had a note at the top of each page stating that I needed to validate my email.... I've been a member for many years and I seem to recall that I changed to that email address about 3 years ago - it's a hotmail.com address. I pressed the link to send a validation email and never received one (including checking spam and junk mail folders); I tried several times throughout the day with same result - no email. this morning I have changed my "registered" email to a Gmail address, pressed to send the validation email and success! So has the forum software suddenly decided to stop recognising hotmail email addresses? Did anyone else suffer in the same way?
I tried sending an email to the "help" email address for the forums but it bounced as "undeliverable" (elsmarsupport@elsmar.com) so is there nobody monitoring issues with the forum?

No problem logging in. But the lack of oversight response (Elsmar Ownership - PQ Systems - Elsmar Cove Quality and Business Standards Discussions) over the past years to me indicates we're living on borrowed time.
As stated in that thread, the wayback machine is not being allowed to index the information on this website.
A day will come, very non-conspicuously, that it'll probably just not be here (unless administration truly changes into other hands).

We had excellent support from PQ Systems. However, PQ Systems was later purchased by Advantive and the support disappeared.

Wow didn't know that! Yep, we'll vaporize soon.

Don't know about soon. This has been the state for a few years already. I wonder if anybody has any connections to relevant personnel at Advantive?
