can anyone assist me in my premium log on??? i originally joined this site a few days ago and recieved my welcome email from here with premium membership access... the original username is the same but they issued me a different passward to use for premium members...
i have been emailing the admin here but the emails take about 24hrs to return ... they say they have tried the name and pass and it works fine... from here i can only login with the original name and password... the new one is not logging me on... i am running windows vista with the latest version of internet explorer... any ideas?

I'm a little confused. Your password for the forum doesn't change when you become a premium member, which I can see by your colour you are. The password the admin gives you is for your webmail account, not the forum.

SF is correct. If your name is the right color (colour) you should see the forum, no extra work is required. If you go to your profile you should see a link to your web space and email. That is where you use your password.

well that makes more sense then ... i now see the color... but how do i set up my profile?... the password is for webmail??? what is the webmail??? i am not tooo computer savy ... only on the programs i use regularly... this is a new page and i am a bit lost... i was trying to just look around and was looking at drop boxes and it told me they were only for premium members... that is what confused me... can you explain??? is that different from my membership?

^^^at the top of the screen you will see "Profile" click on that and then it becomes rather self explanitory to change your profile. That is also where you will enter your webmail. As for the drop box, you have a "certain" forum that is new to you and you can't get in right now with IE. It's been a problem for some members for a while.

Use Firefox and then you can get to where you are trying to go.

Always,

The site owner is from the UK, but the board is international. We've got members in pretty much every country you can think of.

how to i get a mentor? i am not going to be on a lot ... i am a sailor and on a ship... will be out of contact for weeks at a time but this is a good time passer... something to do...

i was reading some of the baits... and i got a way around the phone calls..."i'm deaf" but the other things??? never tried to bait yet and i thought these were actually cunning people doing this... i am seeing that most of these guys are dumb as a box of rocks ... and ... are most nigerians scammers... or is it a small %... like gangs int the us???

also... where can i find a pic to add to profile... everything i try is too big... where can i find a small pic ???

bear with me some ... i am computer illiterate to a large extent but i am learning fast... how can i dr pictures??? is there a good program to easily learn to do it realistic?

Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2007 4:57 am

probably a stupid question... some of the members have a butt load of flags on the bottom of thier posts... what does this mean????????

and some of the reading that makes no sense... it is what they put in the commet box from the profile???

Mainly Post count... some titles are "custom made"...

You really should pause... take a breath... and go read the FAQ and the stickys... Most of your questions are answered there.

Welcome to the Eater, mrbigtime.

thank you all for the help... and the welcome... you wil see more of me... only here and there... i am always on the move and dont always get to be online... but this is something i could play with... and hope to get good at it... i am a prankster and would love to become good at screwing with a scammer... i get the emails all the time ... give em a taste of thier own medicine... i work too damn hard for what i have... as most do... to hell with a group of people who want something for nothing... get a f@*%in job and make a living...

Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2007 5:30 am

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but it might be a good idea to read the stickies..... or am I too late?

Don't worry about asking the questions. We don't really expect new members to read everything. I mean why would you. At least your not starting a new thread for everything that pops into your head. Rest assured someone will answer you.

Very Happy
