Landships II

Darn, that makes it tricky. The Admin is long-gone and the Supermod is MIA too, those (probably) had the powers to re-send. As said elsewhere (somewhere), sometimes the address used in registration is incorrect, despite double entry (surely not, but check anyway), sometimes over-zealous service providers will react to the validation link and surreptitiously "drop" the message as suspected spam (can't do anything about that, except - you - contact them with the allegation and be prepared for denials or, occasionally, retrieval) sometimes your own (overzealous) mail agent/webmail page will react to the validation link and either delete the message or shove it into your "Junk" folder for eventual deletion, depending on the account settings (check your junk/spam/deletion folders).

I don't know the IP address the forum uses for validation e-mails but there is also a chance that might be blocked by your network (public or private real-time blocklist or reputation score check supposed to block spam but capable of incidentally catching innocent senders too) and may or may not have resulted in an "NDR" (non delivery report) back to the forum - but there is nobody here able to see an NDR anyway (see below). Not mentioned before, but possibly the forum's own flooding/anti-spam controls may have kicked in and withheld the validation message despite (cruelly) indicating elsewise - I don't know (see below). Most users don't see actual spam mail these days but there is a huge volume of it (outweighing real mail by a factor of 10:1) and the occasional unreliability of the e-mail services caused by coping with keeping it out of our inboxes comes as a nasty surprise to them on the few occasions when things go awry.

All else failing (as also mentioned before), try again - with a different member name AND a different e-mail address to maximise chance of success (changing either one might work, I don't know, but repeatedly working through the permutations should each attempt prevent re-use of one or both could be exhausting). A different e-mail address? Any fee webmail service should do - I think most let you forward, POP or IMAP to your "real" mail account these days. Spammers love using those accounts too so the blocking of them (the other side of the send-receive transaction) can be problem. As someone once said, about something else, it's not so much the wonder that it works so well as the wonder that it works at all. Or words to that effect.  About dogs walking on their hind legs or something ... the medication must be kicking in.

Anyway, not ideal but the best I can think of (anyone with better/more informed ideas, please speak up) and, as all the members here can attest, it is "doable" despite the obstacles some have to overcome - and we look forward to you joining us.

Rectanglia,

     Last night I read your kind and helping post, then I noticed that when I tried to register I accidentally doubled a letter in my e-mail adress. So I thought to myself, that is  the problem.  So I tried again, with a new username ( Renegade) and passwords , still nothing I'm afraid.   As for my location I live in the US.  I looked at free webmail sites, and decided to reserve that rather troublesome problem until the very end( I am horrible in working with computers).  Thanks for all the advice, I really appreciate it

Thank you very much for your time!!
