There have been numerous instances of new members being unable to complete registration for membership of the forum. In all cases it has been caused by email addresses! On once occasion it was due to a mispelling but every other case has been due to an invalid email address. Without a valid email address it is impossible for registration to the forum to be completed.
During the signing-up process, new members are sent an email straight away giving details on how to complete the signing-up process. If the email address they gave was false, then they cannot become an active member of the forum. There is no need to worry about other members seeing your email address - they can't, even when emailing you via the forum.
It may be the case that the emails from this forum are being bounced by ISP's as being spam. If that is so, then you should add this forum's address to your white list and make sure it is not on an anti-spam filter. I receive notification of a failed email address and I will send an email from outside this forum to the email address concerned as well. If that also gets bounced, then the new member will not have their membership activated. Any accounts not activated after 7 days will be deleted.
Sorry to have to do this but the rules of the hosts of my forum do not allow false email addresses. They use robots to scan false email addresses and send out regular emails to test they are valid. They can shut this forum down without warning if this rule is breached. So it is very necessary that all members have valid email addresses.
Any problems, or if you have not received any emails from this forum within ten minutes of signing up, contact me at: whispers at whispersfromwalmington.com
