Dave P posted on here as guest grumbling that I hadn't approved him which was a bit of mystery to me as I was neither aware that he was waiting for approval, nor indeed that you need to be approved before signing up. Anyway I sniffed around and it appears that tucked away in the darkest corners of a new members profile is a teeny-tiny option called "Disabled" which for some Godonlyknown reason defaults to yes. This wouldn't be too much of a problem if, as board admin, I actually got a message telling me about the new user! It appears that we have a system that defaults all new users to require moderation before they can post but doesn't bother to tell anyone about it... I suspect that this has come with some form of board upgrade from Proboards that they didn't tell me about (for the record I have had precisely 0 emails from Proboards in the two years this forum has been up). Since I lack any form of natural psionic ability I have no idea that people are trying to register on the board. As a result if you are trying to register on the board then you will need to post a message as guest saying what your user name is and I'll attend to letting you in ASAP. (Dave, your dangerous dave account is now live)

Sorry to be a bother

Davbenbak, It appears that you haven't registered as a user, so there is no account for me to activate! Go to this link stourbridgewarg.proboards41.com/index.cgi?action=registerand fill in the form. You then get an email to confirm, which might end up in your spam folder so check that one too. I have recently created an new test account for myself to check that registering as a new user works and that was fine, so I am sure this will work. Owen

It keeps telling me that I am using the wrong form and says use the form below which is the same one I just filled out with all the info still there.

I'm not sure what you are doing wrong but if you email me at o_cooperATyahoo.com with a valid email address I may be able to create an account for you.

We've experienced a lot of mysterious (and f___ing annoying) Far Eastern spam lately so I've been forced to disable guest postings in order to protect the miniature warmongerers of Stourbridge (and District) from potential phishing/malware attempts.
If you were posting as guest, you will have to create an account to post from now on. When creating an account email to o_cooperATyahoo.com just to confirm who you are.

Owen, I think you've disabled too much - I can't even browse the forum without logging on now.

OK, amended the setting, hopefully you can browse anonymously but can't post without an account and account have to be approved by myself or Mini-Me. Lets see how that goes.

Well, if this works then I can post without logging on

Hi Simon, it's not saying any pending requests. So I'm not too sure whether you've registered correctly or not. Just trying a few things now, let me know if it lets you sign in at some point
