I forgot my user ID and password. How can I retrieve it?
You can retrieve your user name and/or reset your password by clicking on the Login link on the menu. On the login screen, click on the "Forgot your User ID or password?" link below the login fields at the bottom of the login box. If you've forgotten your user name, you can still retrieve it by entering your email address in the field provided. The email address must match the one stored in your profile. Passwords cannot be retrieved, however you can reset your password by clicking the link in the email you receive when you request a password reset.
Why am I being asked to confirm my account?
Here are a few possible reasons for this:
1) You have just registered a new account. All new accounts require confirmation before message posting is allowed.
2) You have recently modified your profile. Whenever you make changes to your profile, you will be asked to confirm it again.
3) The forum administrator has received a notification that your email address is invalid or not working properly. Whenever the discussion board tries to send a message notification to the email address you have in your profile, it checks to see if that email was delivered properly. If the email cannot be delivered properly for any reason, the administrator is notified. If it appears to the administrator that your email account is no longer working, your account will be reset so it requires confirmation. If you believe this is the case, please update your profile with a working email address.
Why was my account deleted?
1) You may have created more than one account with similar names and the same address. If you are sure you have created an account in the past, but have forgotten your account login name or password, please do not create a new account. Instead, use the Login screen to have your existing account information sent to you via email.
2) Your account may be deleted if you have violated one or more of the web site rules.
3) If you created or changed your account profile more than a two weeks ago, but never confirmed your account, your account may be deleted. Periodically, the administrator will delete any accounts that have been pending confirmation for more than two weeks.
