Anyone having issues with Us Militaria Forums?

[alktrio06]

This maybe slightly off topic or frowned upon? But I have registered for Us Militaria forums and I cannot post or view anything! I registered almost two months ago and am still waiting for approval! Anyone here on the forum as well?
I have learned so much from this site, but there are some great things up for sale on that site.
If anyone can help, that would be awesome!

Check your email junk box. I had that happen to me on a watch forum.

[alktrio06]

Yeah, I got that email. I have just been waiting for the admin approval.

Yeah, I got that email. I have just been waiting for the admin approval.

It took a few months for my approval also, see if you can contact one of the moderators.

[alktrio06]

Months! Good god that's a long time! I can't contact them because I dont have access to pm.
Could you message one of them for me?

I am having same problem with US Militaria Forums. Email to "admin@usmilitariaforums" is being returned with Mailbox full message, and am unable to contact any other Admins or Moderators since my registration is in some sort of limbo e.g. "can't view" (anything) or "do not have permission" when signed in with my new user name. Evidently they have implemented an additional "Admin Review" for new members in addition to usual email authentication process, but said Admin appears to be MIA.

Does anyone have a working email address for ANY of the admins or mods for the US Militaria Forum so I can get this cleared up? If so, please PM or email me with it, or please PM them on my behalf. It appears to be a very useful and active forum, but heaven knows how they are able to function without an Admin.

I went over and sent a message to 37th guy, the first mod that was on line. I detailed what you had said here and left my name as contact. Let's see what happens.

Have patience, they will get to it when they can.

They get a large number of people registering every month, don't worry all good things are worth the wait.

Here's the answer I just recieved from Rusty Canteen, a mod over at that site.


Last month we underwent a complete upgrade of forum software, as a result we are running a little behind on member validation. We have a more complex validation process than some sites, it takes time to do a check on each new member to ensure they aren't spammers.
We apologize for the delay, but we do not want to run the of risk spammers ruining the forum and our validation process takes time.
If you could pass that along to them I would be grateful, we only ask for a little patience.

There ya go...

I also Had a very similar problem with them, long before they ever admitted to that being any type of issue at all. I finally got accepted into the forum, but it was like waiting for Christmas to arrive, while drinking coffe in the merry merry month of MAY. No pun intended, it took forever. But it is a really cool site, I guess I would say that I wish it was about 7 months faster on accepting you as a member. The thing that really tweeked me off, is I had to log out and view the topics/threads as a guest because everything was blanked out during the "extra super long approval period" that I was waiting for. But mine works now, has for some time and I do like the site.... HILLBILLY-06.
