Jay1 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'd help, but don't seem to have the ability. Any other mods can help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay1 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Actually, I think they have to validate themselves via email... this doesn't look like an admin task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennyarcade Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Actually, I think they have to validate themselves via email... this doesn't look like an admin task I think something must be broken ive been on numerous forums and people never ask to have accounts validated if everything is working ok there shouldn't be a problem unless these people are very stupid... I very much doubt that that is the case but if it is the case... oh well On a more serious note can someone with the power to do so investigate ive seen requests for help in the status area for maybe 2 weeks... potential contributers/people in need of help may become disilusioned it almost feels like we are being rude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VisualDude Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Penny, I’ve must be spending too much time on DP posts where people feel unreal. Your title, People wanting to be validated gave me a very different expectation – yes, we are all valid Thank you for your post though. Perhaps one reason there aren’t many posts on this forum yet is because people can’t get on to interact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay1 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 It could be possible that the validation email is getting blocked with certain email accounts (eg, gmail). This is a common problem with no easy fix. If people are reading this, please check your junk mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennyarcade Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Indeed we are all valid visual . Good call on the junk mail idea Jay if it turns out to be the case maybe a heads up could be implemented on the sign up page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timer Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Took me a couple of weeks for my email to be validated, didnt actually get an email through in the end it just allowed me to log in after a while. The actual 'validation email' doesn't get sent it would appear? I also kept an eye on my spam folder, thought that an admin validated it in the end. Definately one to look into.

Merkan Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 There seem to be a lot of people waiting for this. I have been contacted on other forums by people, desperate to get in, that wants me to fix this. I do not have that in my power as i know. We want to build this community strong again and this is something that should be easy. I know there are some people who been accepted that posted a lot of BS on the board, do not know if David need to validate people cuz of that.

shaolinbomber Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I brought this problem to david's attention about an hour ago. He said he will look at it and try to fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
