I can't get the activation code e-mail to be sent.
The e-mail address is right, but I never get it, not in regular or the spam folder.

Okay... I see two members: nje and nje789. Both have the same e-mail address associated with them. It appears as though you've actually logged in to the nje account before, so perhaps you're not receiving the 2nd activation code because you have two member names?? I'm not really sure, but if you'd like, I can set the password for nje to something and then e-mail it to you. Then, you'll be able to login using that password and change it to whatever you want.
That would probably be the simplest way to go about this. So I would be deleting the nje789 account and creating/sending you a password for your nje account. How does that sound?

I got the e-mail with the temporary password and logged in as "Nje" with it, but that didn't help the activation code problem.
I still never get an activation code e-mail when I send one.

Why would you need an activation code if you're logged in? Just log in, change your password to whatever you want it to be by going to "profile", and then start reading and posting.

After I log in, no matter where I try to go, it always sends me to an activation code screen. I can't even go to my profile.
It says to enter the activation code, and it also has a link to send an activation code, but it never sends one when I use it.
Your e-mail got through, so I know it's not the wrong e-mail address, it's just not sending one.

I just changed your member e-mail to my own and it sent the activation e-mail to me within seconds. I have activated it for you and changed your password to the one which I just e-mailed you.
I'm pretty sure a few other members have had problems receiving e-mail through AOL in the past. My suggestion is to get a GMail or Yahoo account. For now, however, you will want to leave the e-mail as my own, because if you change the e-mail, your account has to be reactivated.

...Ahh..
..shoulda...
..checked here first..
Now I just went and changed the e-mail address back to mine!
Uh, could you repeat what you did, and I'll only change the password this time, 'cuz it worked when I logged in, and I could finally post anywhere.

I'll get to this sometime this evening. I'd do it for you now, but I don't have access to that e-mail account from here. Sorry, I should have made a note of that in the e-mail.
Seriously though, you should have an e-mail buried somewhere in your AOL Mail. I'm betting that it's auto-deleting stuff that it considers to be Spam, which sucks, because ProBoards notifications definitely are not spam.
It may also have something to do with your e-mail settings. If it is set up to block e-mails from unknown or non-AOL members, that could also prevent the e-mail from getting through. Then again, I guess my e-mail got through, so I'm not sure that's the problem.

Okay, your password is now changed to the one I previously sent you (the one you used to log in before you changed your e-mail).
As I said, if you want your own e-mail (which I recommend), I suggest using a Yahoo! account or something else which doesn't block wanted e-mails.

Yeah, no one really uses e-mail to send each other trivial messages, anyways, so it shouldn't be a problem as far as Domain members are concerned. The only possible issue is that ProBoards may have a problem with you not having a legitimate e-mail in their database with which to contact you regarding your account. Of course, if I ever received a message for you from ProBoards, I would simply forward it on to you, but I suppose the bigger thing they would have in mind would be that if you were to violate the ToS (ProBoards' Terms of Service), they might end up banning the wrong person. So be good! ;D
Regardless of the circumstances, I'm glad to finally have you here as a member. I'm looking forward to your questions and contributions.
