I registered 2010 and no email at 75%, should I be worried? 😅

I’ll add you to the queue to be sure, okay?

Every time I get an email from AFF to validate my account and reset my password, the validation works, but the reset doesn’t- it keeps saying it’s invalid, even when I click seconds after receiving the email.

Re-verified, but password link did not work.

The activation link worked for me but the password link says not valid.

From what I can see, the validation was not successful. I’ll add you to the queue.

I’m not sure if verification worked, but I certainly cannot reset PW.

I just received 5-6 mail validations. Every single one says “no longer valid” upon clicking the link

[BronxWench]

I’m trying to get answers, I promise. I’m not sure why this is going so wrong for some members, and working fine for others.

[Guest Ratha]

I’ve gotten 12 emails so far, and every single one’s said that my account was verified, but the password reset is invalid.

As I said, I’m trying to find out what’s happening. When I look at your account, at least the information that I can see, there is a key piece that isn’t appearing, which indicates a successful validation. So, I can see the account isn’t not validated. What I can’t see is the why of it.

Activation email worked, but the password reset was timed out, and trying to reset my password manually via “Forgot Password” also sends a timed-out link. Profile below:

I was able to validate my account but I keep getting the invalid message for my password reset.

@BronxWench just letting you know that it worked for me - cheers!

Awesome! Hopefully, our coder figured out the problem with activating some of the accounts, and we’ll be able to get everyone activated and logged in. (Which means back to work for me sending out links!)

I just got 2 reactivation mails, and in it, the instructions say to copy and paste in the address bar, then hit backspace. What exactly is the part I need to delete? Thanks!

Unless you see the word “password” at the very end of the activation link, you don’t need to edit the link. The very first emails sent out had a small error in the script which carried over one word into the activation link, and backspacing it out allowed the link to function properly.

[Guest All4Spike]

Thanks. I finally got the ‘activation successful’ message, but when I tried the reset password link, I got: “This Password Reset is no longer Valid“ And I really needed it, because I haven’t logged in for so long, I have no idea what my password was!

I’ve resent the password reset link.

[DemonGoddess]

For the password reset, are you ensuring there are at least TWELVE characters in the password?  When I first did it, I used 9, and then remembered I needed to use 12.  Once I did that, it worked just fine.  I had to have the validation/password reset resent to me like many of you, as I was one of the approximately 1% of users to where it didn’t work right.

Both activation, and PW reset went through successfully. Thank you! 😁😁😁

I’m adding this to my email text:

Password rules recap:  Between 12-18 letters and/or numbers long, case sensitive. NO punctuation, spaces, or special characters allowed. Do NOT use your old password, or let Google make a strong password full of forbidden characters for you.

Have all the emails been sent out yet? Still waiting for mine. Glad to hear so many people are getting theirs back.

[BronxWench]

I did send you an email directly. Check your Spam or Junk folders… unless it got caught up in Yahoo’s snit about getting too many emails from AFF. Apparently, Yahoo thinks we’re spamming.

I sent you the email in DM, with the links. Take that, Yahoo!
