I need to Confirm My Email Address - how do I do that ?

Sorry to be a pain, but I'm itching to be part of this community haha!!!!!

I've verified everything. email, my phone, my computer. I've scoured this forum and tried to find answers but can't.

I cannot do the following:

1. Start a new thread
2. Update my profile photo
3. Attach pictures or files to responses.
4. Cannot view the forum rules.

I've emailed an admin I guess via the contact link at the bottom of the site yesterday, but haven't gotten a response.

Is this because I'm "too new" ?

I am not a computer guy by any stretch. I know that when I joined I was stuck in limbo for a couple weeks myself. It had to do with getting an email from the site and responding to that email. I finally had one of the youngsters in my office set me up with a Google email. I re-applied using that Google email address. Subsequently received my confirming email and I was in. Do you have an alternate email that you can use to re-apply with? I wish I could help out more. I am relegated to die with an analog wired brain I suppose.

 

Randy, thanks for reaching out. I am using a gmail account, and yesterday when applying I tried to use an alternate email as well (also a gmail). I received the verification emails fine. I'm not the best with computers myself, but this forum is off the same platform as others I use, so that is why I was so surprised at the trouble I'm having.

I can create a whole new email account for this forum only, but should I use gmail again or a different provider? Although I am getting the emails fine now ?

I'll wait for an email back from the forum I suppose and hope that fixes it.

 

I think that if you try to re-apply using a different name, then that blackballs you somehow. I know @GDJMSP has a thread here somewhere about fixing hiccups. I'll see if I can track that down for you. Maybe it will help.

 

Check out this thread. It may clear up things.

I need to Confirm My Email Address - how do I do that ?

 

Thanks, I'll read it again I did twice but I'm not giving up!

 

I didn't re-apply just updated my email address after my account was opened. if that helps.

 

I also did not receive any confirmation email and I can't create any new posts.

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood!

It takes a little while for confirmation before you can post. It must have been finalized or your comment would not have posted. Check your profile page for e-mail notifications.

 

New here as well. I have gmail and I didn’t get the initial confirmation email. I read this thread and checked my spam folder- nothing there either. What is my next course of action?

 

I’m in now! I just had to wait about 24 hours for the email to show up.

 

I have posted 10 posts and it still doesnt let me.....

 

A short wait is all. Welcome aboard The CT Train and hope you enjoy the ride.

 

Play around, click on things, break things... it will be ok! click on your icon to add photos. Enjoy being here, with time you will learn. No rush =]

 

never got any email. checked spam, trash, everywhere, can't find any email from ct.

 

I got an email from someone who's trying to join Cointalk. His name is Andrey & he's used 3 different emails, has checked his SPAM box and never gets a confirmation email. If a mod can respond I can send you his email & details by message & you can see what the problem is.

Thanks very much for helping.

Hello Gallienus,

Thank you again for your help. I am afraid there are some problems with the site. My friend from Italy also could not register there. I really hope that your post helps to resolve this situation.

Best regards, Andrey

 

I registered and used my Hotmail email and never received a confirmation email.

 

Check your junk mail. When I registered my company email wouldn’t let the confirmation email come through. I had to set up a Gmail address….. For some reason the confirmation email tends to be viewed as junk by a lot of protective software. Good luck!

 

Thanks...it came through hours later and was in Junk..
