If, like myself, you have a problem not receiving a confirmation email, try using another email provider (gmail, Yahoo!, etc.).
My main account (sbcglobal.net) would never receive the confirmation email. I tried for over 9 months, several times. Three requests directly to forum monitors got no replies.
Then, after reading a note from someone having similar problems registering for this forum on Calguns.net, I tried with a Yahoo! address that I seldom use.
The first try was unsuccessful. But the second attempt worked.
Hope this helps someone down the road.
