Gmail users
 

Does gmail work with OSO?

Sorry for stupid question.

Been blocked out for a couple weeks.

Had to create 3rd user and use my work email.

My original user was MyIsland

I have a 89 Formula 311 SR-1 that I named MyIsland

Tried a couple computers and two gmail accounts to create another user. Did not work. So then tried my work email. It worked.

Also tried sending multiple messages to the contact section contacts and never got any feedback.

So I Then I opted to try my work email and bingo.

Go figure.

Can I post a pic now.

Gee, I do not have any good photos of the boat.

Nice looking ride
You may or may not get notified of a posting with a Gmail account. I have one and its hit/miss, use to work fine

Thank you!

I did notice when my first account did work, the notifications were hit and miss.

then they went to bone at all.

NICE Formula...details?

Me too. Haven’t received new post notifications in months but used to get them every day.

Thanks F14.

89 formula I picked up in central ny in 2015 time frame. Was a bit of an impulse purchase as I just loved the color and the unique design as the backward Z is a 1986 design. The previous owner did paint work and did a nice job with the color scheme.

the boat though needed gimbal and transom assemblies rebuilt. I did all that, replaced cables and also reupholstered bolsters and hatch, repaired the actuators, and fixed all the wiring issues. Couple years ago I put the full hydraulic steering on it.

Has stock 365 magnum motors on bravo drives.

I'm on my 2nd 311...both NY boats.

LOTS of people on OSO have Gmail addresses.

The "contact us" goes into cyber space somewhere. I have never heard of anybody getting a response from using it. None of us moderators ever see them.

I guess I'm not understanding what the real issue was?? Your email address has nothing to do with being able log in with your screen name and password??
As far as getting new post notifications..........do you really want an email everytime somebody posts something new?? You would most likely need to hit SUBSCRIBE to get notifications.

Hi Griff,

My original issue was I forgot my password for my original login. I went through the prompts for new password. Would sometimes get that email, then when you click the link to get password sent, I never would receive the password. I tried multiple times to get my first account password and never could.

Tired this multiple times. Tried setting up another user with a different gmail account and did not work. Then I got this third one fully activated by using my work email.

The password reset emails from OSO were probably getting filtered into your spam/junk folder or maybe even filtered by gmail before they even got to you for some reason.

You nailed it. It was filtered before it could make it to the spam or junk file on gmail.

it does not matter, at this point. I created another account. I decided to use this topic as a way to get setup so I can send messages or photos.

Thank you, Chris
