Faulty signup in Google Chrome

tony1337 2011-10-22 04:59:18 UTC #1

I signed up for the account tony1337 with my primary email in Google Chrome, but when I clicked "Continue," an error (HTML? JavaScript? SQL?) occurred. So I did not get a confirmation email, meaning that I could not activate my account or even ask for help. I created this account, tony_1337 (note the underscore), using my secondary email in Mozilla Firefox, which worked. Is it possible to resend the confirmation email associated with the account tony1337, because I want to use that one instead?

Hi Tony and welcome to the forums.

Unfortunately I don’t have the powers to be able to sort this out but I’ll see if I can get one of the Senior Admins to rectify this for you.

Have you already checked, if you received your confirmation mail? Perhaps check again. Sometimes it takes a little time until an email is received.

It looks like he got the second email though but not the first one.

Thank you for all your help! I just got the confirmation email. Now that I’ve activated this account, could you delete my other account (tony_1337)? Thanks.

Just a side note, it might be beneficial to examine why the login/sign up process fails for Chrome and fix it.

I suspect that was just a one off Tony as I’ve never seen that reported before.

No doubt the powers that be will have a look at it though.

I just merged both accounts into one account tony1337. I hope that’s OK this way.
