I can't activate my account !

Post by megarcantregister »

Hello !
I registered to this forum three weeks ago, but the mail to activate my account never came.
I wrote an email to beowuuf, but, i never get an answer. So I am stuck.

I can't log in, because my account is not activated.
I can't register again because my username is already taken, and my email address is already registred.
I can't ask for "i forgot my password" because my account is not activated

Can someone please activate my account ?
username: megar
email: misc (domain: atomas tld: com)

Thank you !

Hmm, never got your e-mail in my inbox, though I can have several hundred spams in my bulk mail. I try to sort through them all incase (and usually DM related ones do get through anyway) but it may have been flushed if it was a 'hello' lost amounst the countless viagra mails!

There you go, sent an e-mail with your password, you account is now activated

Activated, I just sent a mail to the address you supplied with a new password, hopefully that solves everything

hmm, odd, My friend said the same thing, he couldn't get his email either. I've noted a number of email bounces in my hotmail inbox which is where they go, but those are ususally people who have put bunk email addy's and then proceed to subscribe the threads so my mailbox can fill with them :x

anyway.. maybe there is a new issue with the server.

I have noticed checking mambers the occasionally badly typed address ( a 'yaho' account or 'hotnail' ) but this one seems fine

Hi Zed5Duke - I only just saw your message in my Hotmail box as I don't really use it anymore. Sorry for not sorting this out, but glad beowuuf sorted it for you.

Beo, as I'm taking a less active role in maintaining these forums, can we change the Newbies post to give your mail address rather than mine?

Oops, sure - thoguh I worry about my spam filter and how much junk I get now. I might add a mention to put 'DM' as part of the subject line!

Hello,

I seem to have the same problem. I filled out the registration form two nights ago & have received nothing back in the way of a confirmation email.

I tried to re-register, but it then said that my username was "in use."

I'm pretty sure I didn't mangle my email addy. Thanks.
