I'm having trouble with Blocks, which I'm trying to use as a solution for another problem.

The first problem is that people who try to register with a Yahoo mail account don't receive the confirmation email, not even in their Junk folder. So what I want to do is create a Block that will appear ONLY on the Registration page in order to warn people not to use Yahoo, or Hotmail. However when I list the Registration page to be the only page that this Block appears on, it doesn't show up. I tried this on two separate Drupal sites, and neither worked. I can get it to appear on all pages or none.

Any solutions?

Thanks!

I'm guessing something isn't being entered into the "Only show on these pages" text field...
Make sure that you aren't putting leading slashes. That is, if the only page you want it to show up on is
http://www.johlin.com/showhereplz

You would have to choose the appropriate radio button and put in:
showhereplz

Just like that. Is that what's going on?

Personally I think a bigger problem is why people from Yahoo and Hotmail aren't getting your emails. That's kind of a big problem. I'd contact my server hosts and see if there's any way to check if the messages were even getting sent.

By removing the domain portion of the URL, as you suggested, the Block now appears on only the page I wanted it to appear on. Thank you JewcyCraig!

I will also contact my host and see if they can figure out why Yahoo users do not receive the confirmation email. Thanks again.
