There is a problem with the automated emails on the forums: http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=102&t=64264
I checked on the ES forum by sending a PM from a test account to my main account and can confirm the problem: no notification arrived. This problem seems quite urgent because accounts are activated through confirmation email, so no email no new account. Something changed today, because until yesterday notifications worked without problems. Regards Ricardo
