Sorry for the down time

Hi there. Thanks. Doesn't seem to offer a solution though other than everyone else is just as FUBAR as me :O

 

I got excited there for a second... but saw the 2016 date quickly. Darnitt.

 

Appreciate everything you do, Peter!

 

I look forward to my daily dose of Antiquers with my coffee in the morning. many of you are beginning to feel like friends. I live on a farm and don't socialize a lot in part because I have so much to do to keep up a 1850 house and the 15 acres of "yard" my father set aside from the working farm. I love sharing the knowledge I pick up here with friends and a sibling. I too would contribute either by check or paypal.

 

It seems that the SSL issue has been magically resolved.

 

No magic involved, unless it's the sort indistinguishable from technology.

 

Same stuff different bucket. Invisible mysterious illogical forces at work.

 

Peter is neither mysterious or illogical.

 

although he may be undeniable !!

 

Hi
I cant activate my account because I dont get email, can you send me email for activation?

 

Hello and welcome @Alice antique . It looks like your account is already activated, because you can post. So go right ahead and post whatever you like (within the rules).

 

I can only post reply, I can't open new thread, I cant edit my profile photo etc ...I didnt get email for confirmation and nobody respond on email via "Contact Us"

Write : "You have insufficient privileges to post here"
or

"Antiques Board - Error
You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action."
etc

 

contact us........ is only for the software provider.....and has nothing to do with Antiquers...

 

@Alice antique , did you check the spam folder of you email inbox? Sometimes the emails end up there.

I'll tag one of the moderators for you, @i need help , can you help?

 

registration-confirmation.25219 ...look here.

 

@Any Jewelry

Yes I check spam, but nothing inside.
Here is not possible to edit text afterwards?

 

When I click on this link, write:

Antiques Board - Error
You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.

 

Goops , Sorry..... I should have known that u can't open that Forum either.... my bad !!

 

The forum software automatically sends the request for email confirmation when a new member registers. And if that member ask that another request for confirmation be sent to them because they didn't get the 1st one, then the software automatically sends you another one. Point is - the emails are sent !

But here's the issue - if you didn't get the 1st one, you're not going to get any others either. And this applies to everyone who has this problem.

What happens is this. The emails are being sent to you, but they are simply not getting to you. Why ? There are several possible reasons.
1 - the emails may be in your SPAM folder.
2 - your email provider may be blocking emails from Antiquers because they think the emails are SPAM.
3 - the email program (software) that you use may be blocking emails from Antiquers because that program thinks the emails are SPAM.
4 - you may inadvertently be the reason yourself because of the settings you are using on your email program.
5 - it may be the anti-virus or security software you are using, and or the settings you chose when you set that program up.

Any and all of these may be the reason the emails do not get to you. And not a single one of them have anything to do with Antiquers, nor can the Antiquers staff do anything to correct the problem because quite simply - we do not have any control over any of that.

The only person who can fix the problem is you, the member, the person who is having the problem. And if the problem is being caused by reason #2 or #3 even you can't fix it because you don't have any control over those. But you can fix the problem if any of the other 3 are the cause. And no, I can't help you figure it out - only you have ability to figure it out because only you have access to all the settings you have to check to be able to figure it out.

But what you can do is this - you can choose to use Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo - they all work. Members who use them do not have problems getting emails from Antiquers.

And if you don't like having more than 1 email address to check every day well that's pretty easy to manage too. Just have emails sent to your new email address forwarded to the email address you like to use. Then all your emails end up in one place.
