When you Register, a Verification / Account Activation e-mail is sent which contains a link you must click. Clicking the link once should take you to a forum web page and 'auto-magically' validate your account. You may not even notice it happen if your browser is open.
You should get the Verification / Account Activation e-mail within 1 to 5 minutes after registering depending on your internet connection and mail service. BUT - If your e-mail server is slow or otherwise problematic, it may be delayed for hours or days.
E-Mail Verification / Account Activation is enabled to prevent someone from signing someone else up without their knowledge (to prevent 'spoofing').
Often times someone registers with a mis-spelled or otherwise incorrect e-mail address. When this happens, I get a bounce notice. The bottom line is, if you do not receive a Verification / Account Activation e-mail, you may have mis-spelled or otherwise entered a 'bad' e-mail address. In this case there is nothing I can do to contact you to let you know, obviously.
NOTE: In some cases the e-mail is refused by a 'spam filter', especially some company e-mail 'spam filters'.

because you were, or are, Registered but e-mails to you are 'bouncing' indicating either a full mailbox or an invalid (possibly a former) e-mail address. Please contact me and I'll help out --> Contact Marc.Although you are Registered, your e-mail address appears to be Invalid. To fix this problem, please go Here and let me know your forum user name (screen name) and a VALID E-Mail address so I can fix your record in the database. Please be sure to adjust your spam filter to 'White List' (allow) e-mail from Elsmar.com so that Elsmar Cove e-mail can reach you. For more information about invalid e-mail addresses, please see This Thread.
