E-mail verification

[S01]

Site wouldn’t let me verify my e-mail

[Wilde_Guess]

I’m not an admin, but I might be able to help.  You won’t be able to reset your password unless and until @manta2g unlocks your account and causes the system to send you a “reset password link.”  So, if you were trying to “jump the line,” it won’t work.

If you got a “invalid password reset link” error message from the link manta2g caused to be sent to you, one or two other users have had the same problem.

Either way, can you be a little more clear on exactly what you did and what happened, especially including any error messages?  @BronxWench or @WillowDarkling might have some insights on what you can try.

Thanks in advance, and good luck.

I received this message with the links:

I got exactly the same. Both the email AND the exact same error message when I tried to use the links included in the email.

It appears that:

• The word “Password” is appended at the end of the activation link. If you remove that, you should be able to properly verify the account; and
• The password reset link does seem to have a limited period in which it can be used. 

If you leave your profile url for me, I can send you a password reset link. Hopefully, it won’t expire before you get it, but if it does, we’ll try again.

Bear with us. I can’t do anything from my end until all the validation emails have gone out. Once that is done, we can address all the accounts with issues manually.

When ready, what, just tell you my penname?

Your forum profile has a link to your archive profile. I can find you easily enough.
