Problems with account activation are always due to overzealous email filters. This is what you can do about them.
Spam is a fact of life on the internet. So most email services provide
spam filters. However the spam filters usually operate by making a lot of
decisions based on generalized concepts.
You may notice that your email service has your normal "inbox" and a "bulk mail"
or perhaps a "junk mail" inbox. They should also have a button to "mark as not
junk" and "mark as junk" to help the filter make future decisions.
There is usually an option, depending on where you get your email service, to
"mark as safe" or "add to safelist". However, unless you regularly look
through your 'junk mail' folder, you will not ever have the opportunity to "mark
as safe".
Another common way of determining if mail should not be marked as spam is by
comparing the incoming email sender address to your 'contact list' (perhaps it
is called your 'address book').
So one of the first things you should do if you think you are not receiving
email from our site is to look in your 'junk mail' folder for our activation
email. If you find it in that folder then you should immediately mark it
as safe.
Note that if your activation instructions email are being marked as junk, or
blocked altogether, that you will never be able to get inquiries from site users
about any ads you have placed. Therefore it is imperative that you ensure
that your email service is delivering our emails to your inbox.
If you still can not find our email to you to activate your account, then you
need to contact your email service and find out how to get SecondHandRadio.com
placed on the list to never block, never mark as spam. Once you have done
that, then please send an email to webmaster and request that your activation
email be re-sent.
Here is a list of email providers that are noticably troublesome. Please be
sure to put us on your safelist before you register.
