Hello all

My main account (spifmeister) for the forums seems blocked. It tells me to contact to the administrator.

Could you please activate it.

The account should be active. If you supplied a valid email address, you should be able to get in with the "lost password" feature.

I get this error, funny though I could log in once.

Sorry, but your password cannot be retrieved because your account is currently inactive. Please contact the forum administrator for more information.

I tiried other email addresses, but it tells me that I gave the wrong email.

I did not get an email from you, but when I put any other email I get

The e-mail address you supplied does not match the one listed for that username.
