If she's using Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo mail, or indeed any mail service which offers spam protection,
then it's probably gone into her spambox or bulk inbox.

Cos it's an automated message, or something :wink:

Also, if she mistyped her email address then of course it wouldn't arrive.
If she's still having problems, pm an admin and they can activate the account manually.

Hmm, maybe that is my problem too, is the spam thang. I'd hate to find out I'd been pestering poor Deb when it's my own fault that it's not working :(

Do you write code for spam filters Leelee?

if you don't, it's difficult to see how you could be responsible for how they sort your mail.

Well I don't see the connection either. Unless you actually do write the spam filters, you can't be held responsible for the way you mail is filtered. Would it be your fault if the postman dropped your mail all over the floor and forgot to pick it up? Nope. It's the same thing.

Seriously, if someone's having problems getting in to their account, it's fine to pm any admin about it. It's not difficult for us to fix it, and we'd much rather that than have people creating multiple accounts etc cos that does get rather confusing....
