ZS6BD Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Hi All I have beentrying to get my account validated but without any luck. I have amended my account details and requested a new validation number, and sent an e-mail requesting the same. Still no luck. Please advise Regards ZS6BD Quote
+Jors Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) I have beentrying to get my account validated but without any luck. From your profile page, it would seem that your account does not need validating. Status: Member I guess you're trying to change your e-mail address, which needs to be re-validated. Have you checked your spam-folders? Or try another e-mail address if you have one. Some e-mail providers see GC.com mail as spam. Example of account in need of validating: Status: Not Validated Member P.S. To confirm, I just changed my e-mail address, and back again. On both occasions the validation e-mails came through within seconds, and validated as expected. Edited December 21, 2009 by Jors Quote
+Louise_Gerhard Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Sorry for my 2c but I think the problem is with your service provider. You can try to use www.smsad.co.za for an free e-mail account. Try to use it as a test. I had endless problems with telkomsa and this e-mail actually ended the trouble. As a test I send you an e-mail please let me know if you have received it or not.

+BruceTP Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Hi Louis It seems as though Gerhard is right as your service provider is telkomsa. 73 ZS6PAN Quote
+Tricky Vicky & Mickey Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 We remember well our problems with telkomsa - it just doesn't work, no matter how often you contact them and they reassure you that they have the problem sorted Change your service provider and suddenly all will be wonderful Quote
+Louise_Gerhard Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Just to confirm. I had no reply on the e-mail that was send to you. Maybe you never received it. Do not try to get it resolved with telkomsa. It much easier to hug a lighting strike instead. They will tell you it is the way you have installed your pc, your fire wall, etc. But it is never them. I hope you get it resolved as it is quite frustrating not to get the feedback on new caches, feedback from your own caches, etc. By the way; welcome as a cacher and I am waiting to see the first log.

ZS6BD Posted December 23, 2009 Author Posted December 23, 2009 Thanks to all the advise guys. I got a new e-mail account with gmail and recieved my validation code almost immediately. I have logged my first three finds, and hope to find many more. Thanks to Gerhard for trying to contact me, but you where right I never recieved your e-mail. Regards ZS6BD Quote
+Louise_Gerhard Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Hi ZS6BD I am glad your problem is resolved. If you have any other questions do not hesitate to call for help. I do not know it all but somewhere in the community there will be someone that can give you the direction needed. You should do well, you are at 3 caches but you are already 1 better than me. I could not find Magnetic Rock – I was there twice and still no luck. Antron have different caches and they are good hides but for some reason I battle to find them. So, you done well to find it. If you ever do any caches from me then you can request my cell number by dropping a private e-mail before visiting just in case you need help. But that is you choice – I do not enjoy DNF’s on my caches. Well done, and I hope I can say well done one day to your 50th hide. Enjoy the festival season with your family and be safe. Gerhard. Quote
