What is it that you have to do to get the confirmation email? I've tried all kinds - set up different accounts, used different email addresses emailed the admin, but I'm still not recieving it. Am I missing something?

Thanks

[GTV 01]

It's a nightmare. Not sure why this is. Mine just eventually activated itself without a confirmation email! (ok with a little assistance of a couple of people on here)

I'm having the same problem. Odd, seeing as the "who's on line " includes mods.

Just wait I s'pose......

Mods & the old admins are pretty powerless in all fairness since the new crowd took over

Hmmm. Very clever. Not.
This seems to happen a lot with various car owner forums. Usually one power crazed person. Wants to rule the (forum) world or something.....

The Mod Team have never had the ability to sanction new applications, as far as I know anyway I've been on other forums where you have to wait for the email to come through.

It is a problem, though, when folk become impatient and try to join again and again. That just increases the amount of requests.

The forum is owned by a company. I don't think there are any power-crazed individuals on board, present company excepted

[V8 FOU]

OK. I get the picture.
Quite appropriate really. Bit like an Alfa, sometimes difficult to start, but great when it's going?

Look forward to joining in anyway.

Bump for this thread - registererd last night and no confirmation email yet - just put a deposit down today on an Alfa so would like proper access pls :-)

[Patch1875]

You should try getting into the 205gti owners forum you need a note from your mum

AO is a useful resource, but unfortanately as others have said it's falling apart - it just doesn't feel friendly any, more due mainly to over-zealous moderation by people like Paintergirl, who are slowly ruining it. I know quite a few people that have stopped using it for this reason.

Forums are made by their contributors and the feeling of community! A shame for AO, as the majority of people on there are great.

It's the double standards of moderation that hacks me off most.

Rules are rules but inconsistent moderation by some makes it a generally miserable place nowadays.

It was much better when Ian had it. Shame

Well guys, what an awful shame it is that you only have me here to help you because I must be the worst moderator in the universe ::

I will of course try to help because regardless of what you might read here (mostly sour grapes by the sound of it ) I'm actually a pretty good person
