does not work (

 

This has happened to a few people before, when they can only reply to a discussion but can't start their own discussion. Start by looking to see if the confirmation message went into your email's spam or junk folder. Some people found that to be the case.

If that is not the case, I'm not sure how to fix it.

 

Thank you, I checked spam. No letter (

 

Okay, well ... I realize this is an older thread, but maybe I can get some help here. I've sent two emails to the moderator and not gotten a response. This message is at the bottom of the forum pages "You have insufficient privileges to post here". Is this because I'm new? I've been able to post replies, but that's it. Is there a secret handshake? Help?

 

Not a secret handshake, but you should have received a message requesting you to confirm your email after you signed up. Does this sound familiar?

 

Did you get a request for confirmation as described in this thread? https://www.antiquers.com/threads/registration-confirmation.25309/

 

one of the two Forums , where reviving an older thread is not only welcomed but is necessary to keep the information current ...........
No worries Virginia !!!

 

No, I don't remember getting an email. I got a welcome message under my alerts from the moderator, Peter. He's the one I've sent two messages to.

 

Thank you. I don't like to highjack threads, either.

 

we do it here all the time.........we're a playful lot !!!

 

My email is not the issue; there's issues between Comcast and trying to add gmail to my Comcast account. I have been doing battle with Comcast over it for awhile now. I will change my email to gmail and see what happens.

 

That said, I'm not sure what's supposed to happened if I simply change my email address. It said I might have to verify myself again, but how do I do that if I don't received a reply on gmail?

 

Peter is not a moderator. He is the Administrator and owner of the site. Are you able to send a message through your "inbox" to Daveydempsey ( who is a moderator but has also dealt with problems of this type many times.)

 

The first thing I did was look for how to contact the moderator, but did see how to do that. Peter is who I received a welcome message from, with no indication of who he was. I assumed moderator, so he's who I responded to, twice ... with no response. I will attempt to contact the moderator, now that I know who it is.

 

Under Peter’s name and image on the welcome message I received, it states “Moderator”, hence my assumption that he was a moderator. My inbox page shows nothing about how to send a message. I've found a list of moderators, but no way to contact any of them. Any suggestions?

 

The way to contact them (or any other member) is to use your "Inbox" to create a Conversation. Since you are having technical problems, I will contact Davey directly and ask that he contact you about your problem. He can look into what happened with your account and confirmation and advise you about what to do. How does that sound?

 

The *messages I've sent have been sent using "contact us" in the bar at the bottom of the inbox page. I've seen no way to create a conversation - I tried. *I just send a third message, but don't hold out much hope. So yes, your help will be much appreciated and I look forward to hearing from a moderator. Thank you.

 

No, That is not the way to do it. The Inbox that allows you to start a Conversation is on the upper right of any page between your user name and "alerts." I have contacted Davey on your behalf and referred him to our posts about your issues.

 

another way to reach out to anyone.....

click on their avatar...then,
click on... start a conversation
