I am trying to make an account on this forum but it keeps saying the activation code is wrong. I have re-entered it at least 15 times. I am thinking there is something wrong with my computer because its not working. Can someone make an account for me and pm the username and password? Or at least try to make an account yourself and see if it will let you? This is the link to make an account [rulez-server.de](http://www.rulez-server.de/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=new_user) ---

Do you have cookies enabled? Sometimes I have the same problem when I forget to enable them for a site I’m trying to create an account for. ---

This is the link to make an account [http://www.rulez-server.de/modules.php?name=Your\_Account&op=new\_user](http://www.rulez-server.de/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=new_user) The second field on the account creation screen is an e-mail address. You didn’t say what yours is and it isn’t in your SDMB profile (and don’t tell me, I wouldn’t create one anyway). So, no one (at least no one sensible) could create an account for you. I suppose someone could create a test one using their own e-mail and just tell you whether it worked, but creating accounts in random message boards seems like a way to increase spam (and risk) without any benefit. ---

Edited thread title to indicate subject. Colibri General Questions Moderator PS. It would be inadvisable to have someone else create an account for you. ---
