I have been using opera for the last week and would like to sign up to the forum there to ask a question. I have managed to register but you have to active it by clicking on a link in an email they send. I have not recieved any email from them no matter what I do, or how many times I try signing in again.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I am using Outlook Express still. ( may change later eldmannen!) |

Check your spambox, sometimes it get filtered. Try using a webmail service instead to see if that works.
And yes you really should change, you're at great risk! Maybe their mail-sending thing is broken. --------------------     |

It matters who the email provider is as some companies don't email to certain addresses. For instance I have great difficulty registering products using my Opera Mail account thus I have to use a completely different one like the one provided by my ISP.

Opera has a built in mail client. Its alright so if you like opera thats something to consider.
 Hazle maybe you could just sign up for a free email with yahoo or msn and see if the mail gets to you that way.(I always use yahoo for signing up for things. )-------------------- Having problems with spyware and viruses? If so then please follow the Spyware Removal Guide

OK. I signed up with hotmail and sent myself an email from my outlook express account - still no joy, although the welcome junk from msm was in the inbox!
I have no problem with my outlook express for "normal" mail, so could something else be preventing me from either getting the opera activation message and the hotmail? Defender AVG 7.5 etrust |

My reg. link had arrived there before I could sing into my gmail account. Might want to check your spam setting or security setting in your Hotmail and your Outlook Express accounts they may be a little to restrictive especially if your using a block all email addresses not listed in your address book type setup. -------------------- Home built PC/AMD Athlon XP 2800/2 GB RAM/2 40GB HD's/DVD Ram burner /CD-RW burner/Windows XP SP3/ Firefox/Thunderbird/OpenOffice

Luckily I have managed to get some of the questions I needed answering answered elsewhere, by either google or pm's. I did manage to sign into opera webmail though and got spammed straight away!

Curious about something that`s been bugging me for a while now.
When I first came to the forum, was trying out loads of different stuff. Like a kid in a sweet shop. One of the things I tried was Opera, and although I didn`t keep it, at the time it worked fine. Recently, when I was having trouble accessing the forum with Firefox, I decided to give Opera another run. Downloaded and tried every version on the Opera website, and although they all installed fine, I could not get one of them to connect to the internet. Just kept getting error page. Tried Seamonkey, worked fine. Firefox2 OK, IE7 OK. I`m using Firefox now, and like it a lot. But it`s been puzzling me why I could not get Opera to connect my broadband. Looked at every different config. possible, but although it was set for direct connection, like all the others, it just wouldn`t have it. Any ideas anyone ? Have I missed something ? Wouldn`t mind having another look at it. Regards -------------------- |
