Hello I registered for this website last year, when I got my first Omega 2292.

I've never since registering been allowed to post anything, nor edit anything in my own profile, nor access all of the forums.

I do not understand what the problem is, and I can't even message other users (or mods) for help.

Everything I click on I get an error:

I cannot find any activation emails in my inbox, nor do I recall receiving one. I also can't find anywhere to request another on the site. Or perhaps my account was activated when I created it last year and I can't remember.

Anyhow, I can't access anything and I don't know what to do? Any advice with this?


Thank you

Ollie

 

Ollie, I wish I could help but I'm having the same problem. Someone from MWR needs to approve my registration and no one seems to be doing it. I have tried for months now to get activated without success.

 

I have the same problem.

 

They now increased their security I think. You need to login to be able to view. @Syrte may be able to assist

 

There are two separate things.

1/ the forum now requires to sign on in order to be able to view forum content.

2/problems activating an account:
when you sign up you receive an activation email with a link or something you need to click. Accounts stay in limbo if you don’t, I know someone to whom it happened here too-
have you checked your spam filters?
Of course if it’s been several months the email may have vanished.... feel free to pm me your email address and the nickname you used and I can pass on the message to the admins.
Best regards

 

Do check your spam filters? If it’s been a year it’s probably a bit late

Yes you can but I’ll pass on the matter.

 

It took ages for me to get on too, but I think @Syrte has the solution. I emailed several times and eventually got a response.

very friendly forum*, so do persevere!


*disclaimer: I only ever really hang around the vintage Smiths sub-forum, but they are all lovely!

 

Just posted something, all OK here

 

You need to really follow up by email with them. They have a mod approve all accounts and they are not very responsive. Eventually someone will respond.

 

The « contact link » is that same email address @dsio.
However and since I’m a moderator on that forum I will make sure to pass on everyone’s details so the activation problems can be looked into.
The team is quite small (and unfortunately I’m not one of the techies) so please everyone bear with us.

 

The vintage Smiths forum has been a real godsend.

But the whole of mwr is awesome. The definitive resource for mil watches

 

@OllieOnTheRocks and @wagudc (I assumed you used the same nickname on MWR) your MWR account registrations have been finalized and you should be good to go. Please check.

@rbob99 you didn’t send me any info but we already have a user registered with that name since 2012, last activity in 2019– and two registration requests with variants of that name.
Is that you and if so, you could just use your initial active account which is still active.
If not, feel free to send me a pm so we can sort it out.

Anyone else with problems feel free to contact me or @Revo who’s
also a moderator on MWR, or to use [email protected] as @dsio indicated.

 

...I'd like some help as well. Tried contacting the mods through the contact form, but to no avail. Same username as here

 

There goes the neighborhood.

 

Damn, and it’s too late for me to credit you for having supplied me one of my favorite « military watches »
Will ask colleagues to set you up though.

 

Well I’m flattered, I’ve always wanted one and this one is in the grandest tradition of those titles too, aka be careful what you wish for

 

Aaand.... Tada! @ConElPueblo account now active on MWR.
Working hard to deserve my new special OF title @dsio

 

Fake news!
