EZMLM Subscribe Form Doesn't Work

[Baraka]

I have pasted the Subscribe/unsubscribe on my web pages exactly as sent to me, but when tested it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Please provide a link so we can look at the form.

WOW! Thanks for the immediate response.... typical of Futurequest!!

It's at the bottom of this page: http://www.pyramidarabians.com/

Here is the code that was sent:

I just tested your form and it sent me a confirmation email, just as expected, however it was for your galleries mailing list, and not for your ushorse mailing list.

When I check the source on the page link you provided, I see this:
<form action="/cgi-sys/ezmlm/SelfServ.pl" method="post" id="ezmlmweb">

Which list do you want to have the subscribe form work for on the front page of your site?

[Baraka]

I'm sorry! I forgot that I had made a test page, since I had also found the same problem. However, the test page didn't work for me either. Here is the address for that page:

http://www.pyramidarabians.com/indextest.html

I sent that one to ushorses and it never showed up. Actually, I have several different websites that I have put this form on, but none of them work. It's my first time to do this, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. I'm a wysiwyg type, and not the best with html.

I also put one in a html mass e-mail, and it didn't work for me either.

Thank you for your help.

Barbara,

I also tested your form on the indextest.html page (link above). As you state, that one is for the ushorses list. This form also worked just fine for me, and sent me a confirmation email to complete the subscription process.

As far as we can see, the forms are working properly.

Are you perhaps testing with an email address that is already subscribed to the list? Perhaps you are testing with an email address that has some sort of spam filtering on it, or other filtering, and the confirmation emails are being caught by the filters and therefore you are not receiving the subscription confirmations? I would suggest testing with an alternate email address, one with a different domain or one at a free email service, and make sure that there is no filtering on the email address.

If you continue to experience difficulties, then please provide additional information as to exactly how you are testing, and what email address(es) specifically you have tested and when (date and time and time zone).

[sheila]

As a matter of fact, I would suggest testing with several, different, email addresses.

I have GMail invites available if you need one for testing.

Thank you Sheila and John for this information. I just tried a bogus prefix to an email address with my .com addy, expecting it to show up on the list. That obviously was my problem. I will try again with my Yahoo address. If this doesn't work, I'll get back to you. You help is highly appreciated.
