And there is no any email with confirmation code in my inbox

Then your mail is blocking my server IP or some related service. You will have to use a different email address. One not using microsoft, cloudflare or related "bad" anti-spam services.

Emails are being sent as I tried it, but also someone new just did edits to the wiki and would have had to do email verification also.

Great to see it back up! Great work!

:thanksyellow:

Good to see this back and running again and I appreciate the effort it took to get it back.

I am also not getting the confirmation email to fully activate my account.

I clicked several times to get the email from the preferences area but my mail server does not show any attempt for an inbound email from the Atari-Wiki server.

I originally set an email address on my chillichai.com domain.

I changed my email address to my Gmail email address and I then got an email from the Atari-Wiki server to my chillichai.com address advising that the registered email address had been changed. So the change email process managed to get an email to my chillichai.com address.

edit: I just checked my Microsoft Hotmail email mailbox which I also used and the confirmation emails and change email emails did arrive there but were in the spam folder. I have not clicked the link through this email address as it was just a test.

Haha, indeed it hasn't! The remembered password was of course from the original atari-wiki.com. :D

I only have a Gmail account. I wonder why Gmail would block the confirmation email in my case and forward it in @kodak80 case.

Maybe you could activate my account manually?

Seems there is a problem with gmail accounts. I tried confirming my address a few times but never received the email. I switched from my gmail address to my iCloud address and received the email within a few seconds.
So if you try to register and have multiple emails, do not use the gmail one for the time being...

I have had problems with Gmail mails sporadically going missing. But Microsoft and cloudflare outright junk the emails. If sometimes they arrive then no idea why. I jumped though all the hoops with Microsoft as explained before and gave up as they are just incompetent like most other companies these days. Unfortunately it's stuff out of my control and nothing I can do to fix it. Like I said before, others having similar issues and Microsoft just want you locked into their system and screw everyone else. It's why I try not to bother with emails anymore as the giants are breaking the internet now. I personally consider emails a obsolete technology.

Yeah this is correct. The big email providers blackhole others for any and no reason. It's one of the reasons I use ProtonMail - they're playing fair.

It sucks but I'd advice everyone to stop using the big email providers. You never know what mails you don't get.

ok,
but it sound strange to create a new email account just to activate Wiki's account
