Good news! After several test e-mails, TFL e-mails are finally getting where they belong! We are expecting TFL updates to get back up and running shortly. We do apologise for the extended delay with resolving this issue – as Ally said earlier, we were waiting to hear back from e-mail providers and were unable to hurry them along. The senior staff is very grateful to Ally for all her work on this issue!

A warning to all Hotmail.com users – while e-mail is getting through, Hotmail is placing the e-mail into the “Junk Mail” folder. Please be sure to check your Junk Mail folder regularly for TFL mail! Should you find any TFL e-mail in the junk folder, you will need to select “Not Junk” on the e-mail to ensure future e-mail is sent straight to the Inbox.

Staffers will be re-sending e-mail to Hotmail.com users that was sent in early April (before we realised TFL was being blocked).

It will be good to be back up and running again; we have all missed the updates! Be prepared for a busy updating period! :)

This is a announcement update of e-mail problems for the Academia, Actors, Actresses, Adult, Advertising/TV Channels, Albums, Animals, Animation, Arts and Design, Authors/Writers, Awards, Calendar Events, Characters: Book/Movie, Characters: TV, Comics, Companies, Computer Miscellany and Internet, Directors/Producers, Episodes, Fan Works, Fashion/Beauty, Food/Drinks, Games, General, History/Royalty, Hobbies and Recreation, Literature, Magazines/Newspapers, Miscellaneous, Models, Movies, Music Miscellany, Musicians: Bands/Groups, Musicians: Female, Musicians: Male, Mythology/Religion, Nature, Objects, People Miscellany, Personalities, Places, Politics and Organisations, Radio, Relationships: Book/Movie, Relationships: Real Life, Relationships: TV, Songs: Bands/Groups, Songs: Bands/Groups 0-M, Songs: Bands/Groups N-Z, Songs: Female Solo, Songs: Male Solo, Songs: Various, Sports, Sports Entertainment, Stage/Theatre, Toys/Collectibles, Transportation, TV Shows, TV/Movie/Book Miscellany, Webmasters, Websites category.

It has been brought to our attention that mail to hotmail.com, for some accounts, has been bouncing back to TFL with the notice that hotmail.com is blocking it. As hotmail.com is a huge e-mail service, we are holding all TFL updates until we can have TFL unblocked. The senior staff is also currently looking into confirming with other large free e-mail hosts (Gmail; Yahoo) that the Network is not being black-listed.

All TFL updates are being held. Please do not worry about troubled fanlistings being removed or whether your form has gotten through at this stage. Once we have figured out and resolved the e-mail problems, forms will likely be re-sent, or we will have a leniancy period for those e-mail addresses that have recently had problems.

We apologise for these recent problems, we’ve been rather surprised by them too. We will update you as we gather more data about the problems, as well as what solutions we will be seeking (there are several that are free, but a few that may cost the Network financially). Thank you for your patience!

We have a thread over at the board about this issue. Please see here if you have any questions.

This is a update of for the Companies, General, Personalities category.

For some time now the Senior Staff has contemplated creating a new Companies category. Some TFL visitors may remember that TFL had a Companies/Franchises category several years ago. The decision to create this new category stems from our desire to continue to keep our categories as neat and maneuverable as possible. All further applications for companies should be directed to this new category.

The following subcategories have been moved to the new Companies category:

- Animation: ‘Companies’ subcategory
- Comics: ‘Companies’ subcategory
- CMI: ‘Companies’ subcategory
- Directors/Producers: ‘Companies/Studios’ sub-category
- Games: ‘Game Companies’ subcategory
- Music Miscellany: ‘Record Labels’ subcategory
- Places: ‘Restaurants/Stores/Boutiques’ subcategory

Fanlistings for brands (such as Toyoto cars, fashion brands and toy brands) are still found in their respective categories (Transportation, Fashion/Beauty and Toys/Collectibles).

In addition to this, we have also re-named the “TV/Stage Personalities” category to simply, “Personalities” so the category can cover more than people from TV or the stage to things such as Youtube celebrities etc. We hope this will make this clearer for our visitors. :)
