Advicenators Frequently Asked Questions

I Am Having problems Activating My Account... HELP!
Hi there,

If you are seeing this page, you probably haven't activated your account since we upgraded the account manager program, or you are a brand new user who is having problems activating your account.

Either way, we are here to help. :-)

If you have had an account here for a while, and just started seeing this message:

You need to go to your profile settings page, and make certain that you have a valid e-mail address in "Part I:" of your profile.

That is the e-mail address we use:

• To make sure that the account belongs to you if you lose your password.
• You want to get e-mails when people answer your questions.
• To notify you when you are the featured columnist of the site. (Coming soon!)
• To let you know when someone leaves you a nice feedback comment.(Coming soon!)
• To assist you in fixing any problems you might have.
• If a moderator needs to get ahold of you for some other important reason.

ONLY the high level moderators can see this e-mail address. It is never displayed publicly, and is only used for site business.

Once you put in your valid e-mail address, and submit changes, you will be sent an e-mail containing a link to verify that the e-mail is working.

Click that link, and your account will be activated. After that everything will be the same as you are used to it. :-)

If you already have a valid e-mail account in your profile settings, all you have to do is go to the link below and hit the submit button on the profile settings page.

A link will be generated automatically and sent to your e-mail account. Click that link any your account will be activated.

If you use AOL, or have some kind of e-mail filter, make absolutely sure that you have 'noreply@advicenators.com' and 'admin@advicenators.com' in your allowed e-mail list, or you will not receive e-mails from the activation program.

New Accounts

If you have just created a new account, and you are not receiving e-mails, see the note above about un-blocking the activation program's e-mail addresses.

If you are sure that you have nothing blocking your e-mail account from being activated, then you should click this link:

Click here to update your Profile settings.

... and make sure your e-mail address is correct.

When you are sure that your e-mail is correct, press 'submit' to save your changes. This will send a new e-mail with a new link. Click it and you are all set.

If you need a free e-mail account, I have a limited number of invitations to Google's GMail.

It is a very useful service, but you can only get an account if someone invites you.
I am willing to send the limited number of invites I have to the first people that need them. E-mail dangernerd@gmail.com to request your free GMail account.

If you have anything else that needs to be addressed, write me at the above e-mail and I will help you get this all taken care of.

Welcome Aboard!
