Default password and administrator issues

Okay, I had to set up a new account to be able to access the CF and post this issue. My historical user is 565758 and for some reason, when I try to contact the administrator due to no being able to log into my account, nothing happens, i.e. no response from the administrator. I would like to be able to log into my historical account (565758), because I have some PM's that I need to get to. This all started as the result of forgetting my newly changed password. I believe this could be related to me changing my email address as well. My current email address is listed in the profile of this new user account.

Thanks,
John

I'm not sure I understand your issue where you say "nothing happens" when you try to contact the Administrator. Due to recent Spam issues across the network, which also occurs on the Internet in general, new members will not have PM access until they've become "established" members. We cannot disclose exactly what exactly established entails, as that would help the Spammers defeat the system and allow more Spam within the community. That said, those who use CorvetteForum for its intended purpose will quickly become "established" with full permissions to include PM access.

I'm wondering if you got the automated Welcome PM from lead Administrator Savewave but was unable to reply? That is normal, due to the aforementioned reason of not being able to have full PM access for new members.

In addition to posting here in the Help section, there's also additional ways to contact Administrators and staff if PM access isn't available. Using the "Contact Us" link, which can be found at the footer (bottom) of each page, can be used to email CorvetteForum. Posting here, in the Help section, is probably the best method.
