You will not be able to post if you are still using Microsoft email addresses such as Hotmail etc

DO NOT USE DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to white list users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Tried changing to using my work email, but I guess they have some block, so nothing came through from when I changed it before the weekend.
Then in a catch 22, locked out of old account and I could not find any contact details for Admin/Exxos without registering.

So setup another email account to register back here.

Now just need to ask for my Higgy2 email to be linked to my Higgy original account, then close Higgy2.
I'll sort that out...

Yes the email has become a huge problem like I've been saying for the past few years, but just no way to know my emails are being blocked all I know is that so far anything linked to Microsoft rejecting emails... This could also include domain names which then forward to Microsoft accounts...

EDIT:

I'm going to have to "nuke" your second account as emails can't be used twice...

higgy2 is deleted, Higgy now uses gmail address.. I've resent the activation email.. No doubt will go in your spam folder..

I tested the your old email domain and the server times out which could be why you are not getting the emails there...

That in itself is another problem because people sign up with domains and emails which after a couple years vanish and they don't update anything so their account remains broken because of it...

Incidentally anyone who needs to contact a moderator, you can generally shout out in other forums or Facebook groups because a lot of people here are on those groups anyway..

I used to have a contact admin button, but that got removed for a lot of reasons years ago.. Likely due to spam and constant "abuse" for every problem under the sun which I could not keep up with...
