See this if you have an account but cannot post

When you established your account, one piece of information you provided was an email address. The forum software sent you an email with instructions on how to to activate your account. Until you open that email and follow the instructions in it, your account will be disabled.

You can check to see if your account is in this state by following this procedure:
1. Make sure that you have logged on with your user name and password.
2. Go to our home page, www.unix.com, and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
3. Near the bottom of the page is a list of users who are on. Click your user name.
4. You are now viewing your profile. Does it say: "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation"? If so, you have not activated your account.

You can also get yourself into this state if you are an established user by changing your email address.

If you gave an invalid email address you will not have a way to fix your account. All you can do, at present, is create another account.

If your email address is valid, you can request another copy of the activation email: resend activation information
If you have the activation code, you can enter it manually together with your user name on: The Activation Form

NAME
Jifty::Plugin::User::Mixin::Model::User - user model base mixin SYNOPSIS
package MyApp::Model::User; use Jifty::DBI::Schema; use MyApp::Record schema { # column definitions }; # Import columns: name, email and email_confirmed use Jifty::Plugin::User::Mixin::Model::User; DESCRIPTION
This mixin may be added to a model to give your user accounts a name and an email address. This module may be used as the basic building block for building account models in your application. It can be combined with mixins from an authentication plugin to create an object suitable for a given authentication mechanism. SCHEMA
This mixin model adds the following columns to the model. name This is the username/nickname for the user of the account. email This is the email address of the account. It is intended as a bare minimum confirmation of identity and for communication of password resets and other account information. email_confirmed This is a flag indicating whether the user has confirmed ownership of the given email address. METHODS
set_email ADDRESS Whenever a user's email is set to a new value, we need to make sure they reconfirm it. validate_email Makes sure that the email address looks like an email address and is not taken. SEE ALSO
