It'll probably hang there until the turn of century, sorry to say. Maybe contact their customer service and see if anyone answers.TSN79 said:I recently registered an eBay account. That is, I did it half way. When filling in all the info I mistakeably wrote my password where my user ID should be (don't ask). I didn't notice this until I got the activation e-mail. Naturally I didn't activate my account. What I wonder now is how long it will take before they delete my "account-that-is-not-yet-an-account" so I can try again, with correct info this time ;) It's been about four days now...
There could be multiple reasons for forum-accounts not being activated. Some common reasons include users forgetting to verify their email address, technical issues with the activation process, or the account being flagged for suspicious activity.
In most cases, forum-accounts that are not activated within a certain time frame will be automatically deleted. However, some forums may have different policies, so it is important to check the terms and conditions of the forum in question.
No, you will not be able to use your forum-account until it is activated. The activation process is necessary to verify the user's identity and to ensure the security of the forum.
The time frame for activating a forum-account varies depending on the forum. Some forums may require immediate activation, while others may give users a few days or weeks to verify their accounts. It is best to check the forum's policies for specific information.
In most cases, once a forum-account is deleted, it cannot be reactivated. However, if the forum allows for account recovery, users may be able to retrieve their accounts by following the necessary steps.
