Hi, Rusty!
I'm sending this just in case you are able to read messages, even if you are unable to post a reply at the moment.
I gather you tried the verification link for your email address sent by Admin and that didn't work?
Rather than use that link, have you tried just logging off the forum and then "on" again?
I did that when I had a minor glitch earlier trying to answer Ron on the Times thread - Admin wouldn't let me post a two line reply! - and since I did that, all seems to be functioning ok now.
Worth a try if you haven't already done it?
Have you tried emailing Norah or Ash?
I hope you get things sorted out!
Hopefully, talk soon!
