    I have finally managed to create a new account on here nearly a year after forgetting my password and not being able to reset for my mkranger71 account.
    Despite asking for password resets etc that never came through (not even in spam) and even when I tried setting up new account couldn't get the confirmation email!!
    This may explain why some people stop posting and never come back, but I don't give up that easy!

    In this time I'm sure I would have won the prediction league and had many things to say on some of the threads (mostly off topic) and could have posted the funniest joke ever (now forgotten)
    I could read but not post, I felt outcast and even joined LFW but it just wasn't the same.
    Well I'm back at last so will be chipping in as I see fit, prediction league already at disadvantage but will try and climb table.
    Now where's that word association thread!!

    Welcome back MK <cheers>

    The problem before the site got corrupted thus causing the site to switch to a new server went something like this ...

    This would be a typical post and response on the Moderator Forum with 'brb' being the super mod and 'Mick' being the site owner ...

    Leeds Mod - ''No activation email is Sent to new users when signing up making registration impossible to complete. I just tried setting one up myself to troubleshoot 20 mins ago, still no mail.

    Can you look at trends and tell me if there's been any new users and if so what the hell im doing wrong as we have someone waiting to get involved.''



    brb - ''I activated a new Leeds account last night, after a PM request.

    The activation system does not work, the only person unlocking accounts is me! I've sent Mick a few PM's stretching back over months and months, probably even over a year, saying the system does not work, no replies back.

    Basically when someone signs up it throws their email into awaiting confirmation, which i then unlock once someone tells me about it. Obviously if Mick paid me, I'd make it a daily job to look at all new registrations <whistle>

    Oddly some accounts albeit few are getting through, the problem started when Mick moved the data via a provider, it over night stopped all spam, and spam was a real massive problem even though users never knew about it in general because the mod team were blitzing it.

    However, now it's gone to the extreme and stopped accounts getting through too, I could blame it on being in the users spam email, but it never used to be a problem and ive seen the problem increase 10 fold and that is no exaggeration.

    Although there is one benefit to me, if i ban some ****er, they stay banned because the system will not let them back in! <laugh>

    Mick does **** all so he won't know ;)''

    That's what's been happening to me too. I'm onlystill here thanks to the back button. It only seems to log me out when I click on our homepage button at the top I think.

    I been locked out for hours, nothing happened when I tried to log in again and as I must have a new email from when I first joined thought it best to reincarnate. But now suddenly all is as was! Or?

    Welcome back mate.
    This board is a bit like Days of our Lives, in 12 months you have missed little.
    We're still talking the same crap, we've just rephrased it.
