Guest James McLean Posted April 18, 2014 at 08:50 PM Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 at 08:50 PM Hi. I'm trying to become a member, but the system refuses to send me the validation email.I can sign in, so my chosen username and password seem to have been registered.I have tried to use the "Resend validation" twice, and it acts as if it has worked. But nothing arrives in my inbox.I've double checked the email address in my profile - it looks OK.I've checked my Spam and Junk folders - nothing in there. Any clues for me?

You've tried everything I would have suggested. I know the Boss Lady can validate accounts manually, so she can help you out if she comes along. (Dan might be able to do that too, but I'm not sure.) JamesMcLeanJoined Today, 02:20 PM If you can sign in I'm not sure what more you want to do. I'm not positive on this, but I think that a member who has not yet validated can sign in... but they can't actually post or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamesMcLean Posted April 18, 2014 at 09:16 PM Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 at 09:16 PM Correct, I can sign in, but I can't post. (which is sort of amusing, since I can post as a guest...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted April 18, 2014 at 09:22 PM Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 at 09:22 PM Two thoughts:1) Maybe the forum's server didn't have its cup of coffee today so it is running slow. Or,2) Maybe your email program has some kind of glitch where it isn't getting emails in. During this time have you received other emails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Lady Posted April 18, 2014 at 09:44 PM Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 at 09:44 PM Hi James, I just validated your account. My suspicion is that if you did not get the validation email, it probably went to your spam folder. The other possibliity is that the email address you used is incorrect. In any event, you should be able to log in now. Let me know if you are still having issues. thanks,Olivia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMcLean Posted April 19, 2014 at 02:14 AM Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 at 02:14 AM Yea! I can post. Thanks much. For what it is worth:I waited several hours after my first sign-up. I don't think it was a slow server.I successfully received around five emails spread over the the time that I was trying to validate.I've double checked my spam and junk folders, and there still is nothing there from this site.I've checked my email address in my profile, and it seems to be correct. I don't know what was going on, but I guess it's moot now. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Lady Posted April 19, 2014 at 01:11 PM Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 at 01:11 PM James, thanks for that additional information. I will check with the tech support for the forum and see if they could be having a problem sending email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
