Temporarily suspended some of the new user verifications - Machine Underground -Tractor & Commercial Equipment Discussion Forum

Temporarily suspended some of the new user verifications because of complaints that is was too difficult to get through - I certainly dont want to prevent those that we invited to have any problems getting on.
Typically what happens after someone picks a user name, there is a email verification step, and a image verification step (even I have difficulty reading those on some sites). It slows down or eliminates the automated spammers and others. The admin gets notified when a new user enters their name, but there is a manually approval process once the email verification is complete.
Long story short, I turned if off temporarily so I can get the one's havings issues onboard -

Sounds reasonable, hopefully we'll see a few more ole buddies show up!

I really reached out to many, many folks -"build it and they will come" as they say. I have no doubt soon enough

Not sure where the problem is, but if you make a mistake with the email, the verification would never be complete. They can look but thats basically it no posting..

I think most of the members got in just fine...

Yeah baby ! This makes me happy that you got on board and found your way ! we go back a long ways where most of todays sites didnt even exist yet - LOL

Thanks for joining - you have a wealth on knowledge and certainly bring good will and conversation to the group here -

Should I create a Yanmar thread?

Overall you will find a relaxed group, who can express themselves without fearing over moderation - Some of us have had that bad experience on other threads (TBN), so lesson learned and never to be repeated -

No need for the Yanmar forum just yet. Most my posts involving tractors are replies to others requesting info or help. My Yanmar specific knowledge is limited to my machine and what I read and my model is one of the newer one, still >15yrs old, and I know little about the older models.

We can wait until we see how my knowledge fits in with the group.

Too late

dont worry I do expect some Yanmar experts to show up as well.....maybe some new owners of the EX series that they make with Cub.

Its either a Cub or a Yanmar so they can pick the thread

However I got your Introduction post in the correct area -
