To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Pioneer Dev Forum registration problem...

Hello folks

 

Just tried to register an account over on the Pioneer Dev Forum. Went through the usual process, filled everything in, got the message that an email had been sent to my address allowing me to activate the registration - but as yet no email has arrived. That was about 3 hours ago.

I thought it unlikely that I had entered my email address wrongly, but nevertheless tried to re-register and went through the process again - and was told that that email address and username was already in use. So I'm obviously in the system, but due to the lack of an activation email I can't use my account.

Any idea what the problem could be?

 

Thanks

 

Jamie

Hi!

My first guess would be to take a look in the spam folder. (I know it's very obvious, but you have to star somewhere 🙂 )

Yep, already tried that. Should've mentioned it. 

Thanks though! 🙂

Anymore ideas?

was told that that email address and username was already in use

 

tried even to use a different username?

 

usually when you register with a (prob.) wrong e-mail the user name is registered nonetheless

(since it get's handled like a proper one and the user name belongs exclusively to this e-mail).

what would mean you have to register with the proper e-mail and a new user name.

 

the error report is often simply the same if either e-mail or username is already used.

 

 

made it quickly proof.

i registered in with a non existant e-mail

entered my prefered username

then i retried with the same username and had already a list of errors:

 

username already exists

wrong or to short e-mail

wrong password

wrong answer

 

the whole litany

 

thus i used a new username and proper e-mail

received message and logged in.
