What's going on with Hotmail???

Christina W Clark · November 3, 2000, 04:15 AM

Hello, this is Christina Whittington, I have already been a member of TFL for a year. I have not been able to sign on under my old name for a few days now. It keeps saying that I am not resistered. When I tried to reregister, it told me that Hotmail users are banned. What's up with that?????
So, I reregistered under a Yahoo email. Moderators can you make my status back to Senior Member? What happened?

Ok Ok, I just a an answer, somthing about spamms and stuff I don't get it. But why wouldn't they warn people about it? As I said I am not a new member. I have been on here for a year already.
Oh well, I guess it's not really a major problem, it's just very frustrating trying to get on for days only to find out that you were

BANNED

Help I need a sholder to cry on...

? I was under the impression Hotmail accounts had grandfathered in.

They were. Christina, I answered you down in S,Q&C before I made it to General Discussion.
I don't believe anyones account was deleted due to their address. There must be some problem with the way you are entering your user name and/or pass word. Try typing in your regular (old) user name and clicking on the "forgot your pass word" icon and check the pass word you receive in your E-mail. Even when a member changes their E-mail address their user name and pass word remains active.
Also, have you changed anything in your profile of late? I know Sensop made some changes and wiped himself out. He is now a newbie in spite of having been here a year and having had over 1600 post.

Christina,

You are registered now under both names. Both appear to be equally valid in their registration.

Try Gunslinger's suggestion and if that doesn't work, e-mail me. I'll see what I can do.

Miss D waves hello to Dennis

I think my email is under my Netscape email address. You aren't going to ban me are you?

I don't wanna be an anti again

Christina Whittington · November 3, 2000, 05:27 PM

Well, here goes a test......

Christina Whittington · November 3, 2000, 05:30 PM

Alright, what's with the practical jokes? I swear I entered in the same user name and pass word that I entered in the past couple of days.
Where's the candid camera??????
Someones playing a mean joke.

Admins, please delete the Christina W Clark account. And if you'll did something to fix the problem I thank you. If you played this awful mean cruel heartless joke on me, then ya should be whipped with a wet noodle.

Having said that, I shall close my topic with my usual, and most proud signature.

No, Christina, we don't play tricks like that.

No wet noodles needed.
