I know there are some here on RR Line who also frequent The Modeler's Forum. I registered on the forum some time ago but have never received the required activation e-mail. You can request that it be re-sent, which I have done several time, but have received nothing. Did not go to spam, trash, or any other folder.
Can anyone put me in touch with an Administrator? Appreciate any help.
Regards, Wallace

I have emails for a few active members, but last I knew Jimmy Deignan did most of the administration and I'm not sure how to reach him now that he's sold Railroad Kits.
[update] I sent a forum message to Administrator and mentioned the email you were using in 2013. It's possible that the .mil domain is extra picky about incoming mail given the 2020 attacks.

I signed up after lurking there for years in 4/2020, the virus made me do it. I have just started posting. I had no issues registering.

Thanks James. I registered using my gmail address, so that shouldn’t be causing the issue.

Did you check your Spam folder. We approve a lot of new members here that never register and it's probably because the activation e-mail ended up going to spam.

I think "spam folders" are a really bad idea. It's the wrong place to solve the problem, and for a lot of people, it just ends up hiding stuff they want to see....

I'll join that list of not having gotten a confirmation. I also signed up a couple of times and no joy. Also checked every folder I have to see if it got snuck in somewhere. No joy. So I stay in lurk mode. Works just as well.

I'll let you know when I get a response from Administrator. And after a while, I'll try a couple of the more active members whose emails I have.

I saw your post earlier today, and sent you a pm, no response from you. I emailed the site Administrator, (John Siekirk), and he told me you have to sign on as a guest on their forum, then the page to register to join them will be there. He also told me he will contact me again in the morning. I will let you know what he says.

Rich,
Below is the response I get when requesting the activation e-mail:
A new activation email has successfully been sent.
A check of all of my boxes (to include spam) reveals nothing.

Wallace,
I just received the following email message from John Siekirk of the Modeler's Forum.
Rich
If you login in to the forum as a guest the register tab is on the far right. Here is the link. It doesn’t show up if you are logged in.
http://modelersforum.com/index.php?action=register
I hope this helps,
John

Thanks Rich. Registration is not the issue. I can go back in and register using the same user name/password and it tells me that user name/PW is already in use. I am just not receiving the activation e-mail. the e-mail address I am registered under is: waltedwards06@gmail.com if that will help John find my registration.
