A request, not a bug. Can we get rid of the "quick edit" button and replace it with all the options in "modify"? It's really annoying (me)

[George]

I use the Quick Edit button frequently, so I would not be voting for its relocation.

So do I.

[Mandryka]

But there's no reason to have the quick edit button -- I mean it's not as if modify is slow --  my problem is that I make changes with quick edit and then realise that I need to do something with modify, and so either have to post the incorrect version or lose all the changes.

[prémont]

For me, it is very practical when I want to correct typos or change a single word.

[Dungeon Master]

The "Quick Edit" is built in to the software and this theme. Even if I wanted to, which I don't, I could not disable it. Its here to stay.

I am almost certain that GMG's mail server is on a Google spam list, or GMG does not have the dkim, dmarc or spf in order in the domain. Google is becoming increasingly strict in that respect. All mail from GMG ends up in the spam folder. Very annoying. Do other members suffer from this?

GMG sends its emails via the server's built-in PHP. This is a simple email system that does not require authentication (username/password). Because of this, some receiving servers label these emails as SPAM.

I will look into setting up an authenticated email account dedicated to GMG notification emails.

In the meantime, you can configure your email program to always send emails from GMG to your inbox using a rule.

Thank you Rob, added GMG in my contacts,(which was advised by Google) hope that it will help. Google should in its self learning software remember, that if I say no spam, it should refrain from sending it to my spam folder. Maybe the latest update is causuíng these problems too!

I'm trying to post in the soccer thread. It won't let me.

Edit: okay on about the 4th try the Post button finally operated. Very strange though. Possibly because there was a long gap from when I started composing the post? Dinner arrived.

@Dungeon Master I hope that you are doing well?  Wish that we could hear your thoughts/comments more on music these days.  I realize that life has its ups and downs and that things keep you busy.  And thank you for all of your hard work on creating and maintaining this forum.

Î would be interested if other GMG members have the same issues as I with Google versus GMG. Since a week all the mails from GMG go to the spam folder. The learning part of Google should be, that if I okay the emails that are seen by Google as spam, it will from that moment send those emails to my inbox. But that does not work. Anyone else.?

I have a private domain mail to which messages from GMG come, so in that way a possible problem with Google is eliminated.

I asked my IT firm to find out why the mails from GMG all land in my Spam box. I do not understand the finest details of it all, but I now see why Google and soon Microsoft will cause this problem for all of us, and in this case GMG.
The mail server of GMG is blacklisted on UCEPROTECTL3. I asked Google to delist the mails from GMG but they refused, saying that it was blacklisted with a reason. There is a software called mxtoolbox that clearly shows the unsafe situation of the mail server of GMG. The domains are so arranged that because of the tightening of security with Google and Microsoft, and even private domains, the spam alert will be triggered again and again. The mail construction is faulty. MXTOOLBOX finds multiple problems with DNS/SMTP. (Value out of the recommended range) And the DKIM and DMARC requirements are getting more strict, and will resist the mails too.
As long as GMG is blacklisted on UCEPROTECTL3, the problems will continue, and reach all members from GMG.
So please Rob could you look into the matter, and get the blacklisting undone.
Google ignores the learning software, that if you tell it that GMG is safe and should be let through, it refuses point blank.

Hi Harry, and thanks for your investigative research.

I am aware that my website is on the UCEPROTECTL3 blacklist, and has been for over 10 years. But this is inconsequential. UCEPROTECTL3 is a listing that blocks not just individual websites, or even individual domains, but entire hosting services. My server is hosted by InMotionHosting, a large and respected hosting service. It is likely that they are also hosting some other server which is sending out SPAM emails, and for that reason the entire hosting service, with its thousands of innocent servers and domains, gets blacklisted by this one company by association. This is also true of many other hosting services, including some of the world's largest hosts such as GoDaddy.com. The people behind UCEPROTECTL3 demand money for a domain/server/host to be delisted. That is their business model.

As far as I know, Google do NOT use UCEPROTECTL3 blacklisting when assessing emails for SPAM. UCEPROTECTL3 are about the least important of the SPAM listing agencies. My server is not blacklisted by any other SPAM monitors.

Bottom line: UCEPROTECTL3 blacklisting is irrelevant.

What IS the case is that Google/Gmail recently (last 4 weeks) tightened up their authentication requirements for accepting emails. What has been acceptable for 2 decades is suddenly deemed as potential SPAM by Google and maybe Microsoft. My server (gasbag.net) satisfies all email authentication requirements. Some of the domains on my server, including good-music-guide.com are still in the process of getting the right credentials and authentication requirements sorted to have emails that are squeaky-clean by Google standards.

For those who don't understand any of this, GMG and my server do NOT send SPAM. All that is happening is that Google's spam filters have suddenly become a lot more stringent in its requirements.

I am working with my hosting service to get all the authentication requirements in order to comply with the new standards, already done at my server level, but still working on the individual domain level.
