I registered for OOoForums.org. The page accepted my registration

Whom do I contact to fix this?
I replied to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have not yet received an answer.
Many thanks for any help offered.

I'm not sure about this but I seem to remember that when you register
for this forum you get an e-mail containing a link and a request that
you go to that web page to confirm your registration. This is done to
avoid "bots" registering and then spamming the forum. Did you get
such an e-mail? Did you go to the link? I think you will then get a
"welcome to ..." e-mail after which you should be able to log in.
Your description is exactly right. I know why I have go back to the
web site after registering, and I did that.
I used the link the email provided to register the passwords, and then
pointed the browser to the web site, my browser entered the user name
and password. The page stated that I had entered an invalid user name
or password in each case, and did so even when I carefully typed in
the user name and password.
I believe I did everything you and the email and the web site said to
do but I am NOT able to log on. That is how I finished registering in
the first place, and how I received the second password.
Nevertheless, if you think I may have missed some point, please ask
more questions.
Otherwise, who do I ask for help in this issue?
Can you get to
<http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=54123&highlight=>
directly without being recognised as registered? It's not much help but
it illustrates the problem and may be of comfort. If you can't get to
that discussion let me know and I'll copy/paste the whole thing into an
e-mail for you.
It seems from that discussion that
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/ may be a better place
although oooforum does still seem to be active. It also seems that the
only person who could untangle you no longer takes very much interest in
the proceedings of the forum. I think I'd try the user.services forum
instead.
