I don't get notification/registration e-mails!

Most people experience this problem with Hotmail. Check your junk mail bin. Sometimes they are redirected through the filter.

The newest versions of AOL have the "advanced SPAM blockers" and may make it impossible for Proboards to contact you. Admins may have to manually register members who experience this problem. Or we recommend that these people create temporary free e-mails (IE. yahoomail.com)

From Proboards Support:

I was messing around and found something that should be helpful. AOL 9.0 has a Spam Folder in addition to the regular one, but anything lower than 9.0 doesn't. I thought that it simply meant anyone with an older version of AOL couldn't access their Spam folder...but you can.

If you go to AOL Keyword Spam you can set your preferences for the Spam folder and if you go to AOL keyword Spam Folder it'll bring you to the Spam folder.

Note: If you change your email address, you should receive a new activation code.

You can also try adding the following Email address to your "Address Book" (for Yahoo Users) or "allow list" (or whatever you email provider has similar to that) & THEN try to Resend The Activation Code:
