I did a quick 'force reactivation' on his account that should send out another activation email.

Indeed - I hadn't thought about that... :?

I considered it... but I'm reluctant to tinker in the ACP unless absolutely necessary.

I have a similar problem. I reset my email address on my account for tinker, and never got the activation email and cannot login as I have not replied to the email. I tried creating another account last week to report the problem but that did not get an activation email either. Today I found I could create a new account, this is it, but I would like my old one reactivated.

I have tried the resend activation email button but it will not accept any username / email address combination that I try, could someone please manually reactivate my 'tinker' account.

As he says (twice) - 'tinker' is now in the inactive users list (along with 'tinker2'), awaiting your attention, DH.

D'oh - I read "Tinker" as in: "to fiddle with or adjust unnecessarily" !!!

I go try and reactivate!

Tinker account reactivated directly (no activation email sent out)

Can I delete Tinker2?

I would think so - and c3po too. But best wait for tinker to log-in first, I reckon.

As I seem to be back, a big thank you.

/pedantic mode on

Yes you can and you may delete both tinker2 and c3po.

/end pedantic grammar mode

Well... I was clearing-out a couple of 'bots, so while I was in the ACP, katana in hand, I acted.

Presumably the 'missing' new members have had their activation emails re-sent?

I have no way of knowing... but I suspect not.
