I registered a few days ago in the new forum using my current username

it claims that an email was sent to my mailbox: i did not receive it and it is not in my spam folder either.

trying to register a second time gives: username already exists but i cannot login as the thing claims "we have sent an email, please cofirm usign that email"

I tried sending an email to [email protected] on 15/10/2020 and got a complicated error message back from google?

any suggestion?

I know some US members have had issues with Comcast based email addresses so you might want to try creating a new account with a different email address, say a gmail based e-mail address if staff Jim can't fix this issue.

I just triggered a new activation e-mail
I hope it arrives ....

Thanks Robin, it seems to work now but the activiation link points to a page describing the benefit of subscriptions and I read somewhere that there are no more subscriptions?

;-)

guys can you let Staff Jim know what ISP you have as there has been some issues with internet providers and the new site, comcast in the USA seems to have some issues.

I have also heard on another modelling site that they have had issues with hotmail and people not receiving update/notification emails and hotmail changed something in there software.

all the information that you give helps solve the issues, thanks in advance.

Robin solved the problem already.

But thanks anyway

it had issues with my Spectrum email as well, I changed it to my Gmail and it worked fine.

Tried signing up with a hotmail address and the confirmation email isn't coming through. Is there anything that can be done? I can't use my work email and the last thing I need is another email account to check.
