My confirmation Mail was in it.lol of course I did, not there either…
and there is no way to resend that email it seems… too bad… not sure what to do… -
Just so you know, the only thing that confirmation is useful for is enabling email notifications. Every other feature of the forum is available to you.
Considering that email notification never worked for anyone until a couple months ago, you aren’t missing much. This forum is primarily about the posts, which you can obviously use.

I found that hard to believe. So I went to another browser, created a new github account (my existing github account was already associated with my main forum account), then created a new forum account called @e-pryrt, and was immediately able to log in and edit my settings and profile.
This screenshot proves I edited my settings, as it’s using a non-default theme. And the next screenshot shows how PeterJones account sees the e-pryrt account, showing it was created a few minutes ago, and that I’ve successfully edited the bio/description, which shows up on my profile.
(I’ll probably delete my dummy account tomorrow, just because I don’t need/want the extra account… but I want to leave it long enough for the evidence of github-based accounts working just fine.)

On the other hand, when I click on @MelchiorGaspar , it takes me to a 404-page-not-found error.
And you don’t show up in the recent users list.
Oh, that’s because you’ve had an account since 2017 (as I can see from searching on the users page for “melch”, which narrows the search down to
… so that explains why you weren’t in the new users.But it’s still strange that your profile seems to exist and you can post from it (and that at some point, you were able to set your avatar/profile picture), but that your profile doesn’t seem to be externally visible and returns 404. Someone with more power on the forum than me (maybe @guy038, if he’s around sometime soon) will have to take a look at your account to see what’s different about it.
Given that I have confirmed that there is something wonky with your account specifically (given the 404), I will delete the dummy @e-pryrt account, since it’s not actually needed.

I may have used a different login before… I thought I had an account here before… but could remember what I used to login… so I logged in with GitHub this time which imported my avatar and username…
