For anyone who didn't receive their activation e-mail, the easiest solution is to change your e-mail address in settings.

That should spark the mail server back to life and resend the e-mail.

If they did not get the Email then they will not be able to see that link.
It is the User CP for anyone looking at this like I was once.

Also if you only have one Email, then just change your real Email to a fake one. Then change it back to your real one. you should get it after that.

Coconut Milk you are a true pal!

Garamond you are a true pal!

Picard, your advice helped immensely. I don't know why I didn't notice it before.

DA DAA DA DA DA DA DAAA DA DA DAAA DA! WWEEEEEEEEEHHHH!

Ive been reading about people getting a page cannot be displayed error when clicking on the activation link in the email.

is there something going on?

Try a different email address altogether.
For some reason, Comcast's email will not accept it.

Gmail does, though.

If anyone else is registering and they get the email, just post what email service you had when you got it. This way people, like myself a few minutes before, don't start to fret when they need something like sound packs and can't get them.

So far:
Comcast: doesn't work. (They are using a new type of email service)
Gmail: Works.

X___X I tried 4 emailaccounts now.... finally I got the email

gmx and web.de both won't work? perhaps because these are german emailservices?

I used yahoo now

So far:
Comcast: doesn't work. (They are using a new type of email service)
Gmail: Works.

great hint ^__^ I figured changing e-mail might send it again... but only here I saw the true wisdom about Good and Working gmail ^__^

ah, thanks for that. Now I can FINALLY download some stuff from here.

thats what im trying to do but i don't remember my password im trying to change my e-mail address to my other e-maile


is there a way where only my e-mail gets changed without using my password to continue

I received.

Good? lol.

so far i haven't recieved an e-mail activation to change my password
and i need one to send my current ne if im going to change my e-mail address X.X

I changed my email address, as suggested, to a Hotmail one, since this forum wouldn't take my Sympatico one (I live in Quebec, Canada). For the Sympatico account, which is my main email account, I use Outlook Express. I have never had a problem receiving a confirmation email with this address, and I have no Junk Mail folder, so I don't understand what could be going on. In Hotmail, I did receive it in my Junk Mail folder. I have the activation email, so I entered the activation code in the forum. Then, I tried changing my email address back to my main one, but the forum wouldn't acknowledge me as logged in (even though I was) since I again did not receive the email change confirmation email. However, I would like to have my main address registered with this forum. I was wondering if someone could send me an email change confirmation email manually.

I have the following problem: I forgot my password, so I used the 'forgot-password'-function and typed in the email adress from my profile(correctly, as I checked several times). I tried it several times, but more than 24 hours later I still haven't receive a mail from this forum. This is a new account, which was no problem to register(the activation mail came half an hour later). But I would like to get my old account back. Shall I wait longer or contact one of the admins?

Because of this problem (Thread 69879), people aren't getting emails about their subscriptions. I'd imagine it's also preventing you from getting an activation email.

Hi arthurgolden,

you already know me under the nickname 'Rahir'. We we're in the VG jeopardy on AOL. I guess it's again this weekend? The problem is, I can't check my messages in the moment. The only hope is that I remember my f*cking password...

Haha. Hey, man. I didn't know it was you.

I haven't heard from Chaz with specifics, but as far as I know we're still supposed to play on Saturday. No time has been set yet, though. I'll tell Chaz to PM both "Rahir" and "AngryNerd," and if that doesn't get to you we can talk through visitor messages on our profile pages.

Yeah, I'm kind of incognito through the circumstances... But yes, that's a good idea. This or the other way, we will hear from each other.

Yay, I finally got activated! This site is awesome, thanks to the makers of this cool site :)

For anyone with trouble getting the Email. just create a Gmail account. That gets the email through. i know myspace and Windows emails dont get it. Soooo yup :D

Bs at myself. i just Necro posted. im sowwy. didnt noticed how old it was. but i just felt that since my email wasnt coming thru. Gmail Gets it.

Finally! Got it to work! Thanks!

Thanks for solution.=)
Gmail WORKS correctly!

I have the following problem: I forgot my password, so I used the 'forgot-password'-function and typed in the email adress from my profile(correctly, as I checked several times).

I'm having the same problem. I had to make this new account but I'd like to be able to use my old one.

According to the registration the e-mail and name I used for my old account are still in use, but the name doesn't come up under any user search. Is there any way you guys could manually send a password reset to that e-mail?

The mail server tries to send the activation mail with an invalid mail address (The "From" in the mail is ok, but the "envelope sender" that the mail server uses is wrong):


started,ip=[::ffff:96.31.69.127]
error,relay=::ffff:96.31.69.127, from=<[email protected]>: 517-Domain does not exist: snowwhite.ffshrine.org.
error,relay=::ffff:96.31.69.127, from=<[email protected]>: 517 Invalid domain, see <URL:ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1035.txt>


Mails coming from non-existing domains are often rejected by the receiving mail server. This is probably the reason why people have problems receiving these mails.

I couldn't get this working on yahoo mail to save my life. Switched to GMail and it came in 2 seconds.

Can anyone help me on how to change my e-mail? When I go to "Change password/e-mail" from the CP, after putting my password, the system takes me to a list of my viewed threads and nothing where I could change my e-mail

Thanks in advance,

Finally got my activation email after a few days. Better late than never.

thank you
this really helps newbies like me

for some reason my ISP email doesnt accept it despite the valid email i have i had to use yahoo

Is this function having problems again? Two people have used the "User Report" feature recently to report that they didn't receive an activation e-mail.

Activated now thank you

out of curiosity is there a introduction thread or anything like it?

No, people usually just post that in General Discussion.

Also, Hi and Welcome and all that good jazz~

It worked<3

thank you man,i started to panic

If they did not get the Email then they will not be able to see that link.

Wish I had seen this when I first registered here. Gave up on it and forgot about it, then came back recently and saw this. Thanks a lot, very helpful.

Welcome, stranger!

thansk alot coconut milk your awesome :D
funny how easy it seems now i know what i needed to do >.<

Thanks, that did the trick :)

And now I've stopped getting email alerts of new posts. :(

I gave up on e-mail notifications a good while back because it just got to be too much. I keep everything managed through my Control Panel - you just go there and it shows you in bold if there are any replies to threads that you've subscribed to.

Thanks for the solution COCONUT MILK :)

Doesn't seem to work on my gmail... Works with my yahoo account though...

i tried 3 gmail accounts and one hotmail but no success but with yahoo got the activation finally :)

thanks. tried a bunch of different emails and yahoo finally worked.

I've been trying for so long, using different emails and stuff but when I used internet explorer instead of Firefox, it worked for me.

Check your spam folder.

Hi im new, well not... i have 4 accounts created here, i download once, but i cant now and i didnt receive my email activation... from InuYasha STARS, STARS RPD y R.P.D. S.T.A.R.S. & OutbreakFile2 accounts in FFSHRINE, why i cant receive in my accounts on Hotmail.com? please i cant contact the Administrator for this several problem...

Stop creating accounts >:[

Create a yahoo email and set your email in settings to the yahoo email and see if you get the activation email then. Hotmail seems to have a problem receiving it.

well i did that, a gmail account... my 4 accounts of hotmail.com i had them since 3 or 4 years ago... but that error from the Email Activation must be on repair

NOT BE ABLE TO SEND ANY REPLYS, NOT BE ABLE TO CREATE ANY MESSAGGE, NOT BE ABLE TO SEND PMs TO THIS FORUM ADMINS AT ALL...:

Finally I was able today, after a year from my initial Registration, to post the very first post of mine here on this great Forum!

I do not want to sound rude or anything, but I die to found out how to Reply or Create a post,
or even be able to send a very 1st message question to this Forum Admin(s), with a simple Question:

Why I cannot create a post or send a message to anybody or anywhere over this great Forum,
why I cannot send any question message to Admins at all which I found in this Forum: "Quick Links - View Forum Liders" weblink??????!!!!!!!!!


- Well, the reason why I was not be able to do that at all, I somehow discover bymyself,
and it is because I never ever from this Forum Receive Activation Confirmation e-mail into my E-mail Account
(not in my E-mail Inbox, not in my E-mail Spam folder).

So I just cross to this bellow Forum threads accidentally with numerous trying and searches why I have the above described problemo:

Thread 54246

Thread 80301

Finally, the resolution of my problemo was, that on this Forum I need to change my E-mail address to some XY,
and then put back the original one (This Forum: "Settings -> Edit Profile -> Edit E-mail and Password"),
and after that, I finally today I get my very first Activation e-mail for this Forum in my E-mail Account Inbox,
and after that be able to create my very first Reply here, after a one Year of tryings... :)


---


I humbly beg Admins of this great Forum to post out more clearly how to resolve this problem in
"initial Registration Agreement", "initial Forum Rules - I Accept" window, or put above two given
hyperlink Threads in "Sticky" form, or any similar.

- This is not for me anymore, this is for all others after me, which can also have this rare error as I did...

Thank You!
Best regards!

Stop creating accounts >:[

Simmer down, Jessie. XD

ZERO TOLERANCE!!!

Fiery redhead, indeed. :)

Just want to point out that AOL doesn't work immediately.

Finally! I've been trying for one hour to get my activation mail.
I just change my mail adress in the setting, wait for the "action to verify new adress" mail and now I can write and download all that I want =D
(sorry for my bad english, I'm french)

Hey everyone,

Just want to post here to show that Hotmail does not accept the activation email, you have to use other provider's service, such as Yahoo. Try following Brunej's post above. :)

Thanks Mako, that did the trick.

Gmail works. Check your junk mail guyz! xD

Lycos won't accept activation email either
No matter how how many times I switched email setting or force it from http://forums.ffshrine.org/register.php?do=requestemail , my lycos account just won't get it (yes I know I can just use my other account. Just curious though :p)

I couldn't get Hotmail or Gmail to accept the activation email. Yahoo mail worked.

Hi, my ISP, Internode (internode.on.net) checked their logs for me and according to them they never received any emails from ffshrine.org.

It appears to my ISP that emails are being blocked closer to ffshrine.org.

If the forum admins can try sending an email to any of the internode.on.net emails I used for registration and report back any bounces that might help resolve the issue.

I eventually registered using a yahoo.com email address.

Hotmail does not appear to work, needed to use my Yahoo! account.

The blacklist is slowly being cleared, I was able to get my activation email using gmail. It ended up in spam though.

If you want to request the activation email again go here:

Email Activation Codes - Final Fantasy Shrine Forums (http://forums.ffshrine.org/register.php?do=requestemail)

Yes, at last, now I can use this like almost 3 years after haha. Don't know why didn't I notice this before, thanks a lot!

Just writing to confirm that switching to a false e-mail account, and then back to the original (gmail) account works -- but it took me a couple of tries. I also changed my pw.
cheers

Welcome to the forum.

Hi guys,
I've been reading the forum for quite a long time now.
I've encountered some problem registering : I never got the activation email, so I changed my email (to gmail).
I received an email change confirmation but no activation.
I still cannot see links like the links on this thread : Thread 92751
Please tell me how to fix this,
Thanks for your help,
Jul'

FINALLY GOT IT!!!!! Felt like a ghost since 2006!

Now i can make my first post in this forum finally.

That warning you posted is a known bug. There are a zillion threads on the subject - the admins are working on it so don't be concerned.

Also, although I haven't tried it with FFS, I do know that even though eBay doesn't accept Hotmail accounts either when registering with them, they do however accept Hotmail accounts which don't have the Hotmail domain, namely they have to be either '@live.com' or '@msn.com'. Email addresses which end in '@hotmail.com' do not work with FFS's account registration.

However, as I said before, I have no idea if this would also work for FFS. It's worth a try though if you're having trouble receiving your Confirmation email.

Yay! My account was stuck for a year until I found this post and tried it. Thanks for your advice.

Thanks!

Had to have sent 5 times. Using Yahoo.

thank you

thanks a lot for your advice ot just worked and finally i can post:)

I finally tracked down my activation in my spam folder :' Thanks, Yahoo.

It took a full day for me to receive my activation email, but I eventually did get it

What if i change my email to another email and then change back to the original one? i have activated my account @ 2011 but never really check for E~mail that time i believe.. :/

Strange, I didn't have any problems with my Yahoo (which I assume is one of the worst e-mail clients) so I suggest that you re-register a new account with a different e-mail?

Many thanks for the advice, I'm up and running at last

Thanks God.
U really are life saviour ;)

thanks!

I never got one. Is that why I can't pm or is it because my posts are too low?

requiring 2-5 post + time for activation, for pm enable

If you can't find it, double check your spam folder

I haven't received one either yet here I am posting with my username. Changed to new email and received confirmation. Clicked link. Still have no access to PM or emailing members. I'm a soundtrack collector so this limits me quite significantly. What now?

Private Messaging feature is unlocked for you when you post something like 10 messages around the forum.

It seems the feature is enabled for you now.

Sorry about that. Didn't know there was a posting quota. Thanks for the info.

Thanks!

Thanks!
