It was like a pager system. It got a few orders processed and scanned by the
post office under ten minutes... so it was working. Any offsite emails were ignored
so everything was logged on bricklink email system. Besides average email lengths
have been trending down in size.

160 chars limit ??? Your're searching for trouble?

There are tons of free plans with no limitations.

I don't recommend the major ones (privacy reasons) like gmail...

But gmx.com for example (I've an address there for 10 yrs no problem), or
any other.

Or for professional use, I recommend subscribing a paid serious service with
no ads etc.
It's worth the $20 or such per year you'll pay for.

  HOLY CRUD you have locked me out of my bricklink with this OTP suddenly.
PLEASE HELP I CAN'T GET IN.
I CAN NOT RECEIVE THE PIN CODE IN MY EMAIL.

For some reason this code is expired by the time the Email is available in my
inbox!!

PLEASE HELP OR TURN THIS OFF FOR ME!!
I CAN'T GET IN TO PROCESS MY ORDERS!!

Dont press the send button when you see the screen, it already mailed you, clicking
it again invalidates the code.

Maybe that helps, it did for me the first time.

My email address has a limit of 160 characters and the pin is all the way at
the bottom of a much too long and wordy message and the pin is missing from the
email. Also tried changing email address and that message for pin is also too
long.

So I am locked out

This would have been a better announcement if it had been sent early enough for
me to read it before the change was made.
I didn't read the message board late last night, so when I tried to log on
today I was surprised and mystified about what the heck this was.

November 2023 wasn't early enough?

Did you read this?

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1459423

Because that was about today's change from opt-in to opt-out.

Oops, missed it by that much. Too much back and forth on that thread for me to
look at.
Yeah, a few days' notice would have been nice.
