Hello admins,

Welcome to the forum, Triona. You appear to be successfully registered now. Glad to have you here.

There must still be a bug on my user account or anywhere else on the system. The System knows my name and calls me a registered user. But when I try to log in, it always requires an activation key from me:

This was from the brginning since my first try to log in. And it is still now.

There did not come any email to me containing this key. There did not come any email from the forum at all. I required to resend the email with the key several times - no response. (I checked my spam file as well. Other emails from other people did arrive without problems in the meanwhile. Most probably there cannot be any bug on my email accounts.)

Please check it up. Maybe you can activate my account by hand. Or send me an activation key by hand to

dear greetings
triona

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble, all that I can find is this,

Account Activation

After you create your new ProBoards account, an email will be sent to the email address you provided earlier in the account creation process. This email will contain the activation key you will need to use in order to verify your email address and activate your account. If you did not receive your activation email, while still on the Activate screen, ensure that the email address displayed is correct and is free of any errors. If it is typed in correctly, use the "Resend Activation Email" link to have the activation email sent again. If the activation email still has not reached your email inbox, check your email spam folder to see if it was routed there. Otherwise, if the activation is still no where to be found, add noreply@proboards.com to your email contact and try the "Resend Activation Email" link once more.

If you are still experiencing trouble receiving your activation email even after adding our email address to your email contacts, you may want to consider using a different email address from another provider. You can change your email address with the "Change Email" link found in the top-right hand corner of your displayed email address on the Activate page. Otherwise you may want to contact your email provider for further troubleshooting.

The account activation is taken care of by ProBoards, all I can suggest right now is that you double check all the info supplied is correct.

(Failing that, I'd try creating another account - everything just worked when I signed up originally.)

Normally the board admin (Sarge?) can see "inactive" members, i. e. members who didn’t answer to the activation e-mail. If the admin decides so, he can "activate" a membership by hand, that is, move a member from one group to another. (But there may be some restrictions on ProBoard, I don’t know about.)

Triona, haste nich ne andere E-Mail-Adresse, die du dafür mal ausprobieren kannst? Für so unwichtige Sachen wie hier den Forenakkount kannste dir ja vielleicht über Mailinator.com eine öffentliche Mailbox aussuchen. Aber eigentlich müsste der E-Mail-Versand vonseiten ProBoards funzen. Haste vielleicht mehrere Spamordner? Mein E-Mail-Konto hat aus irgendwelchen Gründen zweie, von denen ich einen erst nach längerem Suchen gefunden hatte.

sorry. nothing help.
changed email (but on the same provider, I have no other),
added noreply@proboards.com to contabt list
checked spam file, checked functionality of my email account,
tried to start a wholly new registration with different name.

Since new, whatever I do within the registration / log in form brings the error message:
"Oops, there was an error!
Invalid request token / possible request forgery (error 1). If you received this message in error, please go back, refresh, and try again."

I give up. It is too frustrating to fight with unfunctional tecnic,
Sorry.

dear greetings

Good morning.

This morning with newly started PC and browser cache emptied:
all the same,
no log in possible, because activtion of account missing,
activation of account not possible, because no email is coming,
no new registration with different name / email allowed, because system suspects forgery.

and no: I do not use AT&T or any other obscure American provider.
I use my commercial account at (German) Telekom. Up till now there were no disfunction or other bugs. I succesfully receive emails from all over Europe, including UK, from China and elsewhere daily.

If there is no tecnical admin who has the rights and technical knowledge and can fix this, I can forget this. The bug is most probably at the forum's software system. Don't ask me why and where. I am no computer expert. Sorry

dear greetings

Found this....

The account activation is basically an email verification system, and hence only the member themselves can activate. Unfortunately, some email providers have taken it upon themselves to block the email as spam.

.....could be your provider blocking the activation email.

Hi again.
I tried again to register with new name, password and so on. FAiled the same like before. I will give up that. I shall read and maybe answer as a guest.
Thanks to Rex for trying to fix this. But just did not work.

dear greetings
triona

and special greetings to Crawford ES and Ken Malarz. We know from the Brendan Power Forum.

Hi again. Sorry we couldn't fix this. Please do continue to visit and post as a guest. Your recent registration does show up. I will try to contact Pro Boards to see if they can activate your account.
Recently I tried to establish a dummy account as Jessica1 in order to stop a repeat spammer who used that name. I encountered the same problem...no emailed code. As a moderator I have no options for addressing this.

Aha, seems to be a systemic bug. Those can arise on any software where there had not been any before. And no one can find out where they come from. Microsoft's unwanted automatical remote updates seem to be one of the main sources to me.

have a nice day

For those who are able to read German or have a good translator, I hit upon one more source of increasing appearance of computer failures:

No, I can not send you a PM. This would require a succesful log in. And the latter would require an activation of my user's account, which at least requires the receipt of the system's email with the activation code. And by the latter the bug is buried.

If you send me an email, I can answser it.
