New to MN and see here that lots of people have various posting/account issues which obviously need investigating.
In my case I haven't been able to receive the confirmation email after registering and account and its been going on for a couple of weeks, but MNHQ have kept in touch and worked on this in the background.
Happy to report that my email address has been confirmed and account verified so big shout out to Liv, Lily and whoever else beetles away in the background trying to resolve glitches!
Thank you all!
