So am I but as it is coming to a hotmail account, which the system vilifies, it may mean using something else.  I guess that means setting up another email account somewhere.

Steve, turn speed is about once or twice a day; you need only play enough to get dismembered ;)

Good luck with Hotmail. I'm on Gmail and the confirmation email had dropped to my junk mail anyway!

Yep - still nothing's come through.  I guess we will have to move on to PLAN-B.

One person got email thru straight off and done, another seems to have hit a blank hole...

I have no idea why, I suspect ISP or mail provider level filtering so the email isn't even hitting junk folders etc :/

Did that straight away; nothing.  Set up a gmail account: nothing yet!

Nothing received at all.  I have tried emailing support but in the current circumstances I am doubtful of that doing any good so for the moment I shall be contemplating the horizon and choosing my Desert Island Discs.

Wierd. My confirmation hit Gmail OK but was in Spam. One friend had theirs thru fine, another received nada - I suspect isp/mail provider level shenanigans!

Ah ha - some news on the Diplomacy site shenanigans & getting registered!

https://www.playdiplomacy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=60493

Still nothing yet but that thread is interesting and I will be following it up, although it makes it questionable as to how viable gaming on the site might be!

Ridiculous thing is I was fine, a club mate fine, everyone else who tried at same time has been buggered!

There are other sites, mind, if anyone is still interested.

I'll dig 'em out?

Right, I am finally registered and have a working account.  How many of us are 'IN' now?
