There is definitely a problem with your validation method. My 1st attempt to register under the user name DJGietzen appeared to work. I got the activation e-mail and fallowed the link. It indicates my account was activated but I was never moved from the validating group to the new members group. I waited, sent e-mails to the forum support address, to the web support address for net-7.org and has of yet received no reply. I did get some response in an irc chat session but the person there said they would have to mention the issue to some one else. 5 days later still no fix. I have used an alternate e-mail and much to my suprise was able to get this working in seconds.
