Laural, I had a problem with this too. It took 3 times with 3 different activation numbers for me to get on! What a pain, I'm glad you are not giving up.
Request a new activation number and then don't click on it but instead type it in when you try to log on. I don't know what else to suggest. Mayleng is our computer genius so I'm sure she will come up with something if that doesn't work.

Laura, if you have an AOL account, AOL will not allow them to send you the activation key.
Do you have another email address? Use that email address. When it asks you for the activation key, there should be a message asking if you changed your email address. Don't use an AOL address.
If you have problems let me know.

All I have is an AOL addy - no other.... so now what, can someone get me and activation key? I didn't have this problem when I logged on originally (over a year ago...) Any suggestions?

Laura, you can get a hotmail account free. Just go to www.hotmail.com and get an email address and use that. When you have done that, try and log in and click change of email address. A new activation code will be sent to your new email address.

Hi, I'm trying desperatly to get back in after the update. I can't get a new activation code sent to me. I made an account with hotmail, but this site won't let me change my email. After I sign in, it insists I put in the activation code - which I don't have. horstbd@hotmail.com

dhorst, you need to check your hotmail horstbd@hotmail.com for an email with the activation key number. I have changed your email addy in your profile to the hotmail.com address. And get the latest activation code email.

Mayleng, Thanks so much for your efforts, I really appreciate it. But I haven't received an activation code at horstbd@hotmail.com either. This is truly frustrating. I can't get in the other other proboard I'm involved in either. (ADHD Support).
Anything else I can try? dhorst

dhorst, did you check your junk mail in hotmail to see if the activation email was sent there?

Yes, I did check it. I had one message from some doctor offering to get me meds at a discount price! But that is it. I just checked it again today and nothing. Thanks for your time and effort. Horst

Horst, it could be that your computer's security is set too high. Maybe you can try lowering it and see if the activation email gets through. Also you need to try and register again, and then check hotmail for the activation code. It is only when you try to register then the system will send you an activation email.
