Cannot activate account when email notifications are unchecked

[hexrd]

While registering, i unchecked the "receive email from administrators" box and did not receive the email required to activate my account. I had to register again differently (this time the box was checked) in order to activate it and post this

Interesting, I'll look into it.

May I ask a question, even when people don't check that box, they can still get the email from forums ?

Spam filters sometimes pick up the confirmation email

?? I am confused!
I didn't set up many acounts here, only two. Why did you say I am spamming ?

He didn't say you were spamming. He said sometimes spam filters (like those run by your ISP, or run by your own email client) think the confirmation email is spam and discard it. In other words, the email may have been sent, but you never saw it because a spam filter discarded it.
