Edit by MMM: As of now, you should be able to validate your own accounts during the registration process on the old forums. If your displayed user group is "Newbies", then you do not need to post here. You only need to post if, for whatever reason, your group is "Validating".
The activation situation has historically been pretty hairy on FETO.
Spambots would make thousands of accounts and even more spam posts.
It's still pretty haywire, but I'm here to make things simpler.
First, make an account on the FETO IPB. Registration still works, regardless of whether you get an e-mail or not.
Then, just post a link here to your user profile page.
That's it.
We'll scrub the thread and run the validation on all the members that post here.
(This thread is linked to from the FETO/IPB "Registration Complete" screen, and the FETO "Account must be validated" error page, too.)
Edit by fensti: Also, it could take up to a day to get your account validated. Just please be patient as we aren't all at our computers 24/7. Sometimes we need sleep, or food, or have work. No need to message anyone asking about it. We will get to you.
