I'm trying to register with the LXDE forum (http://forum.lxde.org/) to ask a question. However, it is not sending me my activation email (I have re-requested it several times over the past couple of hours).

The forum says, "If you have problems activating your account, please contact a board administrator."

But I cannot find any way to contact the board administrator without logging in -- a lovely Catch-22!

Can you help me contact an LXDE forum administrator or moderator to help me?

That's a clever website. I find IRC a bit confusing, but the website makes it easy.

I am trying it now as I write.

Have you tried requesting a resend of your activation email?

If your email has a spam folder also check that to see the activation email was not filed as spam.

PS. Who's the dude in your avatar?

Several times.

Yes, I have checked it.

For some odd reason you remind me of Arsène Lupin.

If you want I can try registering there and if it works ask the mods to help out. Or register with a different username & email address?

Edit: Did you study at UCT and practice Hypnotherapy? I did a Hypnotherapy course with Dr. Christa Hall-Sanford and Malcolm Hendry-Holland about 6yrs ago.

Hmm, nope. LOL

No, don't worry. You'll probably get the same response. I've sent two emails to two different places; I'll await a response.

How about that. Yes, UCT, a lifetime or two ago!
