Do you mean that you would like to 'administrate' your account at AAA ?

If that is the case - then all you need to do is click 'Profile' on the red bar.

Is BadBud your username at AAA ?
I did a search and I was unable to find that name.

After registering, I never received a confirmation of joining and of course, cannot login or re-register. And the only way out is to contact the Forum Administrator to get it right so I can enjoy this site. And so far......have not been able to. Not being able to login does not allow me to have a Profile to see.

Try your login again.
It should work if you remember your password.

At AAA, if you don't get the confirmation email and therefore can not activate, you have an 'inactive' account, and you can not log in, and the only way to contact a site administrator is to do a PM(private message) which you can't do because you can't log in, there is no email link to contact .. you also tie up the user name you chose when signing up and there is no "resend activation email" function. Never seen a website forum that makes signing up so difficult if something goes wrong in the process.

What has probably happened, is that your ISP is 'silently' SPAM filtering out AAA's activation email, meaning you won't even see it arrive in your SPAM folder, and you will not get a message from your ISP that it was rejected.

This happenned twice with me .. I'm with AT&T DSL using att.yahoo.com mail servers, and granted, I hardly get any SPAM at all anymore, but if you are using an ISP that has problems with people using it's email servers to send SPAM, I will never see an email from you

so I tied up my "Flybert" and "WWFlybert" names in 'inactive' accounts at AAA.

Solution ? .. instead of using another of my ISP email accounts, I used my @wingwalkers.org email address and WW_Flybert as a user name and the activation email got through, and I got into AAA that way.

But then I could not change my user name in my profile to "Flybert" or "WWFlybert" because those user names were "taken" in the inactivated accounts ... the first "site administrator" I PM'd said he did not have the time to help remove those 2 inactivated accounts .. I lucked out with the 2nd "site administrator" and got it cleared up

My first suggestion is to try a @gmail address, I don't know if AAA excepts "free" account emails for registration like @hotmail

But what will work, is using a legit domain's web based email servers that will not :blackhole: the AAA activation email. Find a friend that owns a website that has an email system set up and try using an address from that domain .. even if it's seen as SPAM it will *should* show up in your SPAM folder, or at least you can talk directly to your friend/domain owner so that the AAA activation email is not :blackholed: just because it has a high SPAM "count"

Also, AAA very recently changed it's ISP, which means the mail servers changed their IP, so trying again, with a different username, you *might* get the activation email this time.

If you own a website hosted on a good hosting company, you can setup email account @yourdomain and use that address as well.

I got in touch with an administrator for him.
The BadBud account at AAA has been activated.
He just needs to login using his password that he used when he set up the account.
