Problem with registration

Post by drizzy343 »

I did a foolish thing when I registered. I misspelled my email address. So when I get a response email it goes to la la land. Can you help me correct this

I don't honestly remember the botched email address. When i tried using my correct email address to register. The site said it was in use> I presume that was the equivalent to trying to re-registering.

DO you my email address? I'm not a very sophisticated computer user?

Yes. That would help, provided, of course, that it's the correct one. :)

I've done a Forced Re-activation, so you will probably receive an email to verify.

Try once more.
I've activated your Account.
I see that you now appear on the new members list.

For some reason, all the info about you activating & changing your user name has disappeared.
Weird goings on.

There is a problem with what they mean by user name;
drizzy343 didn't work
my email address didn't work
My real name finally did work.

Now for my real problem. FireFox & Flash have some conflict issues. When I try to play Lumosity games it hangs up. It was suggested I use Google Chrome. When I installed GC and go back to using Firefox, one of my tabs (The quick picks for my favorite websites) one of these tabs is corrupted. Instead of the site i get the following: "file:///C:/Users/DONZRU~1/AppData/Local/Temp/livegold.htmlf." I'm having a hard time restoring a valid website. I put the correct website name in the browser window and it reverts to the above garbage window when I click on it. Other tabs work properly. Any advise?
