;)  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.  <

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?  <

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:

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!  <
