Hiyall,
I want to ask some questions on TinyCore's forum but the registration process won't accept my email address.
Has anyone got a TinyCore email address I can complain to?

What error are they giving you about your E-mail address?

fjd, do you get notifications from the Puppy Linux forum at that same email address?

...and yes. It's the same email and password as for this forum.

You didn't answer my question. Do you get notifications from this forum at that email address?

Have you clicked the link in the activation email?

If you can't find an activation email, have you checked your spam/junk folder?

RedQuine,
that's my problem.
I don't receive an activation email in any of my inbox, notification, junk email. Nada!
I think that their program does not accept my unusual email ...@.....cc

Yeah, I've occasionally had the same problem. I don't think the Tiny Core Forum minds your address, though, or you'd have had an error message like, 'Invalid email address'.

Sometimes email providers block incoming messages before they get to your account. My workaround is that I have a couple of addresses I only use to sign up with - an Outlook one and a Gmail one - then once I'm logged in, I change the address on my profile page. Never failed yet.

Sometimes Outlook or Gmail blocks a message, but rarely both. Depends on what "suspicious activity" other people have been up to. :twisted:

I am thinking that also.
Usually that is 3 letters not 2.
Usually it is .com, .org, .net, etc.......
