Greetings,
After hours of tryharding@ my email I finally received the confirmation link and registered. The thing that really annoyed me was not that I did not receive the confirmation instantly, but that I couldn't send PM's, nor post in other topics except the introduction one. Even there, I coudn't reply to my own topic.
Therefore, I think members who haven't confirmed their accounts yet should be able to post in different sections of the forum in order to ask for things, at least until the email problem is solved. Not fixing this might and will make many people who would've wanted to join your community give up on registering.
Let me know if you will do anything about it.
