Problems Creating a New Account

[jarednormandy]

Hi everyone! This forum looks to be an invaluable resource* and I'm excited to be a part of it.

I just wanted to make everyone aware of the difficulty I experienced in trying to create an account. I made three accounts using two separate locations/IPs/computers and I was never able to get a confirmation email and thus could make no posts. Yes I checked the spam folder* and double checked my email address. The administrator or moderator was kind enough to confirm my account* but I did not realize this until recently as they left me no message or perhaps the message did not reach my inbox. Anyway* thanks whoever helped me.

Also* why are there so many asterisks/stars (*************) in posts? I see no pattern until I look at my previous post* as this site seems to hate commas!
