Account Activation

[Randolpin]

How to activate my account when registering a certain forum ?

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

Could you be more specific? Your account here is already activated; which forum are you trying to access?

[Randolpin]

In the other forums. Even here, I only uses twitter which autoactivates.

It's often via an activation e-mail. It happens it takes a while before it is sent...it's not always automatically.

How to receive my activation email?

There is normally a registration form where you provide email and password. Then you usually get an email with a link you need to click (to confirm it is your own email address). If you don't get the email, check your spam folder as it may have been wrongly identified as spam or junk mail.

In other forums, I couldn't find twitter or fb activation.

Thank you. But where can I find my spam folder?

That is my problem. I don't know how to check my email. What particular website to check my email?

When you registered, was it said they would send an activation email? I think Mods often have to send the e-mail....they can chose not to send one. You have to wait.

Not everyone uses it.

[Randolpin]

Please excuse for not knowing how to check my email. That is my problem in registering any forums. Now I ask: When I made an email, what application or website to check it and to know any notifications of it. I tried it in email app but it doesn't work.

Do you have an email address?

If so, how do you read your email?

If not, you will need to create an email account with Google, Hotmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or whatever. (Does Yahoo still exist?)

So that's what I need to do first. Create email account using google, etc. before using it to register in any forums?

What I did is that I directly made an email to the registration process without using google or etc.

Thank you for clarifying by the way.

You can't be helped, then.

So does this mean you have never used email before? How did you create your Twitter account? Surely that needs an email address?

And how did you provide an email address to the registration process if you don't have an email address?

I am very confused!

I made an email address for my twitter account and  it also requires activation. But I don't wait for the activation message. I did not receive it because I don't know how to.I just register to this forum using my twitter account and now, I autoactivated. 

I use emails. I have gmail, yahoo mail but the activation process in registering forums, I don't know how.

Do you know how to read your email? If you use email, you must know how to read your email. No?

You just give the website your email address and they will send you an email to activate the account. You click on the link in the email and that proves that you can read your email. 

 

[Strange]

Maybe you need to get a 12 year old to explain how to use email.

[Randolpin]

I admittedly need a twelve year old. I am not shy about it. I have a teachable heart. What is important is learning not criticisms.

[Strange]

Let's take it one step at a time.

You say: "I use emails. I have gmail, yahoo mail"

But then you say: "I don't know how to check my email."

So does this mean you have created email accounts but have never used them?

To be more specific: have you ever sent someone an email? Have you then read their reply?

What I mean is that I use emails in the registration which is not registered in either gmail, yahoo mail etc.

[Strange]

You mean you just enter a random email address?

That is NOT going to work.

Ahh, so I can use my old gmail to register in a certain forum and it will work?
