I will admit, the first time I tried registering on here (mind you, this was a few years ago now) I used the alias of prowler. When I tried to log back in, I ran into the same problems some of the people on lemon64 mention (log in limit exceeded, captcha etc. I tried resetting password) but none of it worked.

I couldn't see any other way but to try and register again with the existing username and it just worked. I figured I must have screwed up something somehow the first time.

Update

Activation mail should now arrive, please check your spam folder if not found in the in-box.

Sorry for this error.

I had a tough time trying to register a year back. Didn't work with my gmail or yahoo addresses. Nothing in the spam folders either. I finally had luck with an old hotmail account I rarely use.

Good to hear you've fixed things a bit. Keeping bots out is good, but we need humans too. :mrgreen:
