EdwardB3020 75 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I can’t believe that private division won’t just give me the darn email. I’m trying to close my KSP account for personal reasons and this is how I’m supposed to do it? If anyone can link me there email that would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Support on the KSP website is just a "sendto" URL which will open in whatever application you have set up to be your default mail application, to send an email to [email protected]. You probably clicked "yes" without properly reading the dialog that prompted you to ask if this was the app you wanted it to be the default for mail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've worked in customer support and this sort of scenario is 100% the most irritating to deal with lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn’t they just link the email along side so you can copy the link? highlight the email link, right-click and "copy" that's all there is to it, and this is how pretty much all websites link emails. AFAIK it might even be something your browser does automatically when it detects a link that is an email address. What are you expecting an email link to do? Go to your personal gmail account?

FruitGoose 210 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) The KSP site has a direct mailto: link on their website? Imagine all the spam V I Agra emails they have to sift through to get to the genuine ones... Edited April 7 by FruitGoose Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is usually the problem, it's browser based, not the website. If your browser is set to handle mailto: links through a specific application, outlook in this case, then it will force that application to open. Your browser should have an option to change the default behavior of mailto: links. EDIT: And moved to the Kerbal Network, as this isn't about KSP specifically.

The opposite of Dunning-Kruger is "the curse of knowledge" - the website developers probably assume that you know that when you float over a link with your mouse it shows the destination of the link (mailto:[email protected]) but: not everyone knows this it doesn't work like that on a tablet or phone (although admittedly chances are you do have an email app set up on those, and not necessarily on a pc/mac because it can run inside the browser) I've ran into this so many times that I just set up an email client on my desktop machine as not to be bothered by this.
