Not receiving account activation email

19 Oct 2014, 08:43

Hi Board Administrators,

First of all, thank you very much for creating such a powerful language. I'm not a software engineer, but rather from the finance background. I knew some basics of programming and have learnt this language on my own using your documentation. And it has helped me a lot. Thanks a lot.

I've registered on your board but facing an issue activating my account. I'm not able to receive an activation email. I'm sure the email id I entered is correct and I also went to "Resend activation e-mail" link five times, but never got an email. Could you please help me to activate my account.

Also, I've registered on your board with username as Dev_D, but when I tried to submit this message, it gave me the below error, so I used devan_furia:

"The username you entered is already in use, please select an alternative."

Thanks & regards,
Devan

Hmmm weird, because i did try to create an account not so long ago as a test and I had no problem...
Anyway, I have activated your "Dev_D" account.

By the way, I suggest removing your email from your post if you don't want spam ;)

Now, I have to figure why this happens... I'm guessing this might be an issue with *hotmail.com specifically because we had a recent sign up/post with gmail with no registration issues...

I think you're guess is a good one. I'm having this same issue with two accounts I've tried to register, one being with a *hotmail.com and another being an alias to an *outlook.com address, and haven't received an activation email for either of the user names after trying a number of times sporadically for quite a few months.

The user name I'd like to use is Noesis, the other which was essentially just me trying with a different email address was Noesis Black, which can be deleted or if you prefer can be kept as unactivated and used for testing any changes/fixes you may make in the future.

Ok, i have activated "Noesis" and deleted "Noesis Black".
Looks like we have a problem with Microsoft domains... so *hotmail.com or *outlook.com
Im not sure about *live.com ... i havent tested that... My account uses *live.ca but that was quite a while ago...
I still havent figured out why... no luck yet..

For moment, all we can do is manually activate the accounts... so users must post their usernames here... :(

Part of the issue is that the constant bombardment of fake accounts overloads the email notification limit.
in November i intend to purchase an email upgrade to unlimited for this and a number of other reasons. As i already have some excess funds from the previous raising and I can afford the difference i wont need to ask for donations to cover it. Also part of the reason for doing it is personally driven
