In case anybody knows of anybody trying to get an account set up,  let me know.  We get so many scammers trying to get accounts that I typically let the domestic ones sit for a few weeks and if I dont see any returned activity they get flushed, and any foreign IP addresses get zapped pretty quickly as well.  So reach out if you hear of anybody having issues.

Thanks, Jim

Not sure how the guy who typed in Russian got in. Maybe access doesn’t need to be granted to post on off topics?

We dont need to provide access,  the system sends an email that they can let themselves in with.  I can see the ones that miss the email and whack them based on IP address,  but if they want in bad enough they can get through.

If you are awaiting activation, check your incoming mail around the time you created your account, you should be getting an automatic reply that will allow you to register yourself and you are in. I noticed I missed a few during draft week that would have been easy to see if I had checked. Sorry to those users.

Jimmy,

I can’t get my password to reset. I turned off all my adblockers etc. when I try to reset my password and enter my email it doesn’t do anything.

Just need to update it or find out what it is because I can’t login on my new laptop.

I am moving this over here and deleting the thread to this information to try and unclutter the top of the board. I have merged the two threads so its a bit jumbled, but it is historically all here. ( the old thread deletes when merging)
