99% of problems when you sign up to CBF but still can't join/log in/post are covered below. If you go through these and still can't fathom it, send me an email at admin @ calis-beach.co.uk and I'll see what I can do. This will be rare as the following covers nearly all problems:
1.
Click the link in the confirmation emailWhen you register, an automated email is sent to the email address you gave in your sign up. This does not yet mean you are a member and able to post. In that email is a link you need to click - this confirms it was you that wanted to join and once clicked, you are a member

- the link is like this:

If nothing happens when you click it, highlight it, copy & paste into Internet Explorer and press return. You are now a member
2.
When you registered, you typed your email address wronglySounds improbable but up to 30 registrations a month fail because of a small typo or putting @xxxx.com instead of @xxxx.co.uk. If your email address is wrong, the confirmation email sent bounces back. Because it's bounced back you won't be able to click the link detailed above to complete the joining process.
I'll use this topic to alert details of people who's email address was unreachable, so you can try again.
If you got an email but forgot to click the link and now you can't find the email, drop me a line at the above email address and I'll complete the joining process for you.
