Account Activation

I just got an email from a freind who has recntly registered but his account hasn't been activated yet. How long should this take?

Did he receive his email confirmation and clicked on his activation.

I was activated straighet away

No he didn't get an email. Its been so long I had forgotten you get an email with a link that you have to click on to activate the account. :o

What's his user name he registered with?

post it and either BigJohn or I will take care of it...

Hey Pete, long time no see, Caliptor sent me an e-mail pertaining to this & said the user name was id10t, did a search in the ACP & it found nothing, sent him an e-mail back requesting more specific info on his friend. BJ

Hi BJ. I received an email from Hotmail telling me my account was too large. So I guess I've joined this email tag business to. I have cleaned out my HM Inbox so I can receive emails again through Hotmail.

After a long search I finally found him in there & sent out the activation e-mail, let me know if he got it ok. BJ

Hi BJ. id10t received an email to have his password reset. He says he can log in but when he tries to post he gets the following message:

Have him give it a try now, he should be all set. BJ

Hey BJ

I noticed a 'Newest member' listing within the last day or so with a user name of id10t. It stuck because I remember thinking at the time that only an IDIOT would use a name like that. :D :D Obviously part of the registration worked OK. BF

IT WORKED! IT WORKED! I got in! Thanks Big John! Oh by the way Big Fred I chose I-D-10-T because it shows how much I know and what a great sense of homor I have :D
