Civil War Reenactors Discussion Forums FAQ

Generally the answer falls into one of several categories.

If you have not been on the forums since the spring of 2006 there is a very good chance that you no longer have a username here. We had to switch forum software at that time and our user database could not make the jump. To remedy: Sign up as a new user .

If you've previously been logged in but now can't, double check your cookies settings. If you do not allow cookies from our software, I don't think it will work for you.

Check for any "anti-spam" or internet blocking conflicts with your system before you write to ask the Provost to fix it. 99.9% of problems are with not having a username and not having cookies enabled.

If you've been logged in since the spring of 2006 and are now somehow not able to get online with us, please check to make sure no one has updated a firewall somewhere and disallowed our cookie.

If you STILL can't figure out the problem, please contact me. I'll do all I can to figure out the problem and solve it with you.

Respectfully,

Provost

All new users are now immediately confirmed after the initial email verification but with limitations. I wont go into details about the limitations (why make it easier for the spammers) but you will know what they are when you start using the forum. These limitations are only temporary and will go away in a short time depending on your activity and conduct.

I cleaned out ALL USERS that were waiting to be validated before the date of June 1, 2011.

If you were on the wait list and didnt get approved just signup again.

This time there will be no wait.

Thanks for your continued support and understanding. Bob Szabo Please feel free to contact the Provost if you have questions not found on the FAQ or the New User forum.
