Several people have been having problems accessing The Walpolean. Here are some things to try...
For those of you who have to login every time you try to open an email notice of a new entry, the problem is probably that you have your browser set to delete all cookies whenever you log out. That means that you do not keep the Walpolean "cookie" in your computer's memory that identifies you as a registered subscriber and allows the link to open to the full entry when you click on it. To change the situation, reset your computer so cookies are NOT wiped out when you turn off your computer.
For those of you who get your Internet service from Verizon or have Verizon.net or Verizon.com email addresses, Verizon apparently has very rigorous new spam fighting software that is engaging in overkill and reading Walpolean, even plain email from me, as SPAM and preventing it from going to you. While this has a laudable purpose, it prevents your getting the email notices, a key point of registering. Verizon invites you to contact them and to tell them that it's OK to receive Walpolean notices. Email Verizon at www.verizon.com/whitelist, fill out the form and submit it. (Incidentally, I have done this and received confirmation that Verizon is working on the problem, so it may be in the process of being fixed.)
