no confirmation email received days after registering

Post by lrwgu984c »

Can someone please help?

I registered some days ago and am still waiting for a confirmation email to let me in.

If I try to register again it tells me my username and password are already in use - i.e. by me.

If I try to login without the confirmation email it tells me my password is wrong.

Help - I'm stuck!

Ps - am trying again as using the Username I registered produces, "The username you entered is already in use, please select an alternative." So I'll try with 'random' instead ... fingers crossed ...

What is the specific username that says it is already in use.

Note also Guest posters cannot use a name already in use by a registered account.

'There's no record of that email addy.
"No members found for this search criterion."'

Is this because I haven't received the confirmation email?

The username I sometimes get told is already in use is 'MOBMOB'.

Thanks again!

MOBMOB is using the mentioned yahoo email address.

The account is activated now.

Maybe the email was in your spam or junk box but no need to activate it now.
