Registering for the IDW Forums

Post by Clogs »

Okay - this is how it is...

Last year (yeah, last year) I registered as a member of the IDW boards http://forum.idwpublishing.com/ In return, I received a welcome message containing the assurance that my account would be activated within 24 hours and, if this didn't happen, I was to contact the supplied address. I left it for 48 hours, but, as nothing seemed forthcoming, I e-mailed the administrator. Again, nothing. So this continued until I gave up.

Yet, lo and behold! I am registered as a user on the IDW lists (I'm 'Clogs' there, too), but my account remains unactivated, as the little message continues to inform me when I try to log on. optimusskids kindly tried to raise some IDW interest more than once, and still no-go.

I'd love to join in the threads and vote and submit stuff, yet I simply cannot do so :( Has anyone else encountered this problem and, if so, can you give me any tips on how to get it sorted out?

Try Denton (name + at idwpublishing.com)...

I've PMed him... should've mailed; I think mail() is broken on that server's config, so he'll get it when he logs in rather than with email notification.

I'll try that...

Still no home pc, but I'm sure I can e-mail from work. Only, I did give my home e-addy, arrrgghh! I might have to wait a bit, I guess, although I do now have the offer of some money to bump up what I have in order to get a new base unit!

Same issue.

I think my PMs must have fallen into a hyperspace loop or something.
