Looks to like you can post on an offical XBMC Borad to me.

Perhaps the Server is acting up again. Most of the time the Search
is down. While at other times the Messageboards are just to busy
to update the next Page. <

nope I dont know what is going on here. I think im going to try to create another account because the official xbmc board refuses to allow me to post Its been like this for about a week when I joined that forum <

hey wait a second....when i go into my user info it says:

status: Awaiting Authorisation

but what Authorisation? I never got an email. If I were to get a confirmation email used to verify my email adress resent how would I do that? there is nothing on that site that has any information about that. In addition they never said I could not post due to me not confirming the account. Damn what the hell is wrong with this thing? <

ichijoe he's talking about the official xbmc forum here

krackheadbill, when you register you do have to specify an email address for account activation

from the registration site:

krackheadbill · « **Reply #5 on:** July 05, 2004, 01:11:00 PM »

Your registered email address [email protected]
Total number of posts to date 0
You registered on June 24 2004,06:22
Average number of posts per day You've yet to post

nope did that allready on june 24th.

This forum is really messed up. Either there is something seriously wrong here or this forum is just plain impossible to use

well onlything i can suggest is reregister with a different address- maybe the confirmation email has been filtered as spam?

you definitely should have received a mail otherwise as you have found ou you can't activate your account- maybe there is an option somewhere to resend the validation email

try the bit in the login that says:

yeah i did try that a couple days ago with no sucess. I guess the only thing left to do is to register with another name and see if it works. Thanks for your help guys. <

That email address cannot be used as it is already in our records

ahhh! man this thing is driving me nuts! now i have to register for one of those accounts on hotmail in order for this to work. This is ridiculous! <

ok it works now...I just had to make a different username (which sucks becuase I cant use my original one now) and sign up for a new email adress at hotmail. Im going to try and tell the xbmc forum people to add an option to resend the confirmation email so this way people dont get screwed. If you lose that email there is no way to activate your account! <
