Registering for this forum

[torreydale]

I cannot register for this forum under the account I wanted to.  I set up everything and was waiting on the verification email.  I've clicked to have that email resent to me six to a dozen times and I still haven't received it.  It isn't in a junk or spam folder or even a trash folder.  I've checked.

The account I wanted to use was with my hotmail email.  I'm able to write this because I connected with a social networking account.  I can't log into that social networking account from work.  Therefore, I wouldn't be able to access this forum during the day.  I can get to this forum if I were allowed to type in the username and password that I created with my hotmail account.  I just need the darned verification email to arrive.

Dear Torrey, the darned verification has been sent to you

I checked the same folders and accounts, and I don't see it.  Is it possible your outgoing mail to hotmail is being blocked somehow?

[valtam]

Hotmail is allowed, what I can do is transplant your 'torreydale' account information to the user you are currently on. Seems the only way around this, but you will have to use gmail account since this seems to work.

I am willing to use my gmail account as my username.  I'm currently logging in via my social networking account with google.  But I would prefer to just log in with my email address and a password.
