You're right VoD, it's always a possibility
In the last two or three weeks there was a problem with the Forum - people would not get their activation email.
That was because the Internet hosting company turned off a phpmail function for security reasons.
That problem is fixed now so if you haven't been able to activate your forum account you can now do so by clicking 'login' and then 'Resend activation e-mail'.
My apologies for the inconvenience.
PS - that same problem also stopped the forum from sending notifications of new posts or new topics.
PS2 - for people who missed it, version 1.3 of the game is now available for download.
