Well, over the past few decades, I've run several dialup boards, telnet communities, and web forii - used PHPBB, vBulletin, IPBoard, and a few others.
The error you are getting indicates that your account hasn't been verified by email. Maybe you typo'd your own email addy when you signed up, maybe you got there too soon and his system wasn't fully configured, maybe the email got filtered or misrouted at your end... several possibilities.
Maybe send him a PM here and ask him to Admin-Edit your account over there and manually flag it verified.
Just guessing here, but 12 hours ago, the forum might have still not been fully and properly configured for verifying new users. Your previous data (email address) might be stuck in a glitch that wouldn't exist if you had done it now instead of before.
Try changing your email address on the forum and then resend the confirmation. It might break out of a possible glitch. Otherwise, try signing up with a new account to a new email.
I signed up about an hour ago, and the entire process was smooth as glass and slick as snot on a doorknob.
Fair enough.
Now, I'm not sure why you are trying to email the Admin of that forum. I made an ARWAG (almost random wild assed guess) that it was because you had not received the signup confirmation email. Setting up a forum isn't a simple thing. Lots of customizations need to be made. Perhaps the Admin has not removed the default email contact info from the fresh installation yet? Too busy attending to other settings? So, I just sent a PM to let him know the email addy is landing dead.
So, give me some info to go on - did you get a confirmation email?
my appologies.. didnt mean it rude..
nope. signed up . didnt get the email. (wich i thought was weird but possible) thought maybe takes some time.. but still nothing after 12 hours.
adding to it.. i CAN sign in and it shows me signed in. browse around but if i try to reply to a post or edit my profile or anything it says." im sorry you do not have permission for that"
so i tried a resend confirmation ... nothing . thought i mistyped mail. so i try sign up again and it says mail already in use.
a bit weird in my oppinion
this other guy here.. hakumii think it was was there also at that time and i saw his posts pop up. but couldnt reply. LOL nice frase haha
-edit- btw i cant change my mail cuz i cant change anything in the account
. only option is with a diffrent mail me thinks
