Trying to contact the HSBB web manager

@fishnsail posted:

Hi .  I have a friend who has been trying to get "approved " to sign in and post but no one is approving or answering any correspondence..   the email address at the top of the site bounces.. the FB and twitter hasn't had any activity for awhile.  it has been 2 weeks and nada for him.

Does anyone have a contact?   thank you

This is something that drives me crazy. Newcomers should always be welcome and should not have issues trying to sign up. 

Fishnsail, try sending a pm to MNMom.

Let me know if that works.

thank you, yes its a little strange.  I have told many people about the site but you need admin approval to register...which is usually pretty quick on most other websites or fb..etc.. and no working email addresses

The current admins are great members but don't seem to be quite so active anymore.  Might be good to add some fresh blood.  I nominate @Francis7.

Thanks. But, I would pass. I did it once elsewhere for a few years. Swore I would never do it again and it's a promise that I want to keep.

You are right, the email is more than likely outdated.

I had the same issue.

Gave up after a month, and then signed up with a relative's email address, which went through immediately. Maybe it was because I didn't fill out the user profile in full - ?

Both were yahoo email addresses. Makes no sense.

Thanks for the alert. I did some checking and there were some registrations that were "stuck" in a notification area other than the usual section for approvals.

The backlog is all cleared now. And you are correct DD 2024, the Biography field is required for new users, to help deter forum spam. A few words usually are enough to tell the moderators that the new user isn't here to sell us an extended car warranty. :-)

Thanks for this topic.  Been lurking waiting approval 😁.  

MN-Mom, can you recommend an extended car warranty vendor?

I nominate you to be HSBBW's Chief Content Officer.

Speaking of car warranties, yes i got played by that guy up in the NE and lost about $1500 a few years back when i bought a used SLK350 convertible very quickly and prior to understanding there was potential for a catastrophic engine failure not warranted or covered by the manufacturer. Shame on me.

I've been stuck in that limbo since November!  Thanks for letting me in!

Most of the moderators are still active.  However, life happens.  I've been very sick for two weeks.  Hopefully, surgery yesterday took care of that.  Back to bed for me. LOL

Feel better soon.

Godspeed on your recovery Coach B.
