Free Bavaria Forum- not allowed to log on with gmail email address.

Yes, I tried to access the forum recently and had the same message. I tried to log on using another e mail address and had the same error message. I assume there must be a problem with the site which hopefully will be corrected soon as it's a good source of information.
 
Same. Tried to log in the other day to be told I was banned !
From the website :
"you are banned from using this forum!
Sorry, gmail is not accepting our activation emails, please use a different email address.
This ban is not set to expire."

Hopefully resolved, a useful resource.

I’ve contacted Yngmar, the BAV Forum administrator. Apparently it’s Google that have stopped anyone with an gmail address using the forum. It’s not going to change. The only way around is not to use a gmail address!
Don’t you just love big unaccountable corporations!
 
Yup, it's Google (Gmail) that is refusing our emails (and those from many other small websites), so I've locked Gmail addresses in return (as they don't work anyways). Perhaps that was a little coarse. I've meanwhile fiddled around some more and found a finer grained control, so you should be able to log in again, if you have an existing account with a gmail address.

Nobody will be able to register a new account with a Gmail address, which is not entirely a bad thing, as Gmail seems to be the favoured provider of Russian spam accounts I'm having to spend a lot of time manually sifting through.

If you have another email provider or can get one, I strongly suggest you change to their address - you should be able to do so now.

gmail is free and I think you can have multiple accounts. Being free - they can do what they like.

Their spam filtering is appalling, but then the account is free.

We pay for another provider, whose spam filtering is excellent - all the spam/junk we get is to gmail - I don't even think about - just delete it all.

The Bavaria Forum is unfortunately shutting down due to hostile and overbearing Ofcom legislation, details under Announcements. I hope to get an archive up and running eventually.
 
@Yngmar Im happy to discuss with you a few options happy to discuss a few options, specially because the forum has a valuable amount of information about BV yachts, it's sad to see the forum going offline.
