If you do not receive an expected email from the forums software, chances are that your e-mail system has misidentified it as spam and intercepted it or put it directly in the junk folder. If you have access to settings to allow mail from specified domains (in this case vikingsword.com) to pass, you may be able to fix the problem yourself.

As an economic reality, this website is on shared, rented servers and not all of any hosting company's customers are well behaved. Some ISPs and mail service providers will lazily and arbitrarily block all mail originating from particular servers, regardless of content. If this is the case you will need to contact your mail service provider concerning their e-mail filtering functions. Good luck! Another option is to open a account on a free e-mail service that is more sophisticated in their spam management functions.
