Greetings!

Post by LHR » Thu Dec 28, 2006 2:07 am

Whew! Just officially activated.  I have been lurking (er, trying to activate my account for a long time now).  It finally must've expired and a quick trip over to IE and a new try and I am finally in here.  I originally located this site to test out colors for my guitar (CAR + mint green pickguard + aged pickup covers and trem tip); I thought it would look to much like a Christmas-themed instrument but this way I could see it without having to get the accessories. Dang, I never could get into that part as an un-activated yet registered user.  (Speaking of which, I searched desperately for some sort of admininstrator email address so I could say "hey how come I cannot activate my account even though I tried repeatedly and used two different email hosts, spam filter settings, browsers, etc?"  Of course, there is no way to get help about the site if you cannot activate so...  There really ought to be a way for registered users to do this, no?  But enough of my petty carping.)

Anyhow, I play a nice CIJ Fender Jaguar decked out in the the aformentioned colors. It looks good, in case you are curious, and also looks exactly like the generated Dressing Room image--kudos for accuracy there.  By the way, I am proud to report that my Jag has all the goodies, AVRI pickups, mustang bridge, etc.  I use it in a very lucrative surf combo. Perhaps you have heard of us...  ;D

Glad to be here.

Welcome!

Considering the time that you're logging on I presume you're in Europe. (That and the fact that you wrote "Er" for that noise that we all make.)  ;)

So what exactly was going wrong in the activation process?  Were you getting the email at all?  Would it not activate when you clicked the ink?

Welcome btw...  gald you finally made it.  :)

Just checked your profile and I think I know what it is. You misspelled (switched s and e) your e-mail address when you signed up, so you never got the activation e-mail. But good to see you made it! Welcome.

Yeah .. I remember seeing "offestguitars@rhodesdigital.com" and wondering whether that was intentional.

We might need to look into some kind of button to send a message to admin if there's trouble with registering.

Fat fingered the wrong email!  :-[ That would explain a lot.  I thought it might be a browser issue.
You might consider allowing registered users to email someone, though, if there are activation issues.

I agree, I think that's a good idea. Let me look into it.
