Advicenators Frequently Asked QuestionsI Am Having problems Activating My Account... HELP!
Hi there,
If you are seeing this page, you probably haven't activated your account since we upgraded the account manager program, or you are a brand new user who is having problems activating your account.
Either way, we are here to help. :-)
If you have had an account here for a while, and just started seeing this message:
You need to go to your profile settings page, and make certain that you have a valid e-mail address in "Part I:" of your profile.
That is the e-mail address we use:
- To make sure that the account belongs to you if you lose your password.
- You want to get e-mails when people answer your questions.
- To notify you when you are the featured columnist of the site. (Coming soon!)
- To let you know when someone leaves you a nice feedback comment.(Coming soon!)
- To assist you in fixing any problems you might have.
- If a moderator needs to get ahold of you for some other important reason.
ONLY the high level moderators can see this e-mail address. It is never displayed publicly, and is only used for site business.
Once you put in your valid e-mail address, and submit changes, you will be sent an e-mail containing a link to verify that the e-mail is working.
Click that link, and your account will be activated. After that everything will be the same as you are used to it. :-)
If you already have a valid e-mail account in your profile settings, all you have to do is go to the link below and hit the submit button on the profile settings page.
A link will be generated automatically and sent to your e-mail account. Click that link any your account will be activated.
If you use AOL, or have some kind of e-mail filter, make absolutely sure that you have 'noreply@advicenators.com' and 'admin@advicenators.com' in your allowed e-mail list, or you will not receive e-mails from the activation program.

New Accounts
If you have just created a new account, and you are not receiving e-mails, see the note above about un-blocking the activation program's e-mail addresses.
If you are sure that you have nothing blocking your e-mail account from being activated, then you should click this link:
Click here to update your Profile settings.
... and make sure your e-mail address is correct.
When you are sure that your e-mail is correct, press 'submit' to save your changes. This will send a new e-mail with a new link. Click it and you are all set.

If you need a free e-mail account, I have a limited number of invitations to Google's GMail.
It is a very useful service, but you can only get an account if someone invites you.
I am willing to send the limited number of invites I have to the first people that need them. E-mail dangernerd@gmail.com to request your free GMail account.
If you have anything else that needs to be addressed, write me at the above e-mail and I will help you get this all taken care of.
Welcome Aboard!
