For your Meguiar's fans, or anyone interested in finding out more info on Meguiar's products, including their new NXT products, they have a brand new car care forum (looks cool too).

Sure is taking a while for the system to 'dispatch' an email to me to activate my account...

I'm in the process of registering... all is well in Meguiar's land.

RockPick,
I didn't get an e-mail either, but it looks like the registration went through fine. I just logged back in and see your name in the currently active users list.

Indeed...

I think there is a problem with registration through a hotmail.com account however....

I went in and changed the email used from my hotmail to my home email and it went through lickity split... then, and only then, was I allowed to post.

Excellent! Glad you guys got in!

It sure is a cool looking site.............. that's for sure!

 

Absolutely...

I'm excited to have another place to obtain and share information. There really are some very sharp guys out there in the detailing world...

I've learned a wealth of information from guys such as yourself and Mike just to name a few....

Thanks again!

RockPick,
Thanks for the heads up. I switched my registration e-mail to another account that I seldom use and received the activation e-mail. Now I've got that other account set up to autoforward all messages to my hotmail account. I sent an e-mail to Mike Phillips and his response is below...so apparently this "problem" is by design:
Hi John,

David Bynon who created and built Meguiar's discussion
forum recommended to Meguiar's that we require real
e-mail addresses for registration. The reason for this
is because there are people in the industry, (not your
or your wife), that may try to cause problems. By requiring
a real e-mail address, versus an alias, such as an e-mail
address at yahoo.com, or hotmail.com, etc. we insure just
a tiny, little bit of extra protection from the bad guys.

Sure, if trouble makers want to cause problems they'll find
a way, but at least we know their e-mail address.

I hope you'll understand. We do not share our members e-mail
address with anyone, and do not send unsolicited e-mail to our members.

Your e-mail address is hidden from all other members.

If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to give
me a call.

Kind regards,

Mike Phillips

 

That's strange......... I was able to get my confirmation with my Yahoo email account............. not that I would be a bad guy anyway! (Although some others may disagree)

The only one's that get's my real email address are my accountant, and my girlfreind............... I MEAN WIFE!

 

Hmph... I see you on the other boards and I know your ways... act like a knowledgable guy when it comes to these products and stir up a mess in the mean time.... LOL You're the ultimate trouble maker...

We've had you on the 'watch list' here at online for months...

Be warned... LOL!

RP

 

Aren't I a little "stinker"!

There's a smiley over at DC that I would love to use right now........ know which one I mean?

 

LOL... there are a SLEW of smiley's at DC... I need to nab several of them and bring them here... LOL!

Hey RP or Boss_429,

Do you still have your activation e-mail from MeguiarsOnline.com? I just received another message from Mike Phillips that it turns out that they never implemented the "blocks" for hotmail and yahoo...So I want to contact hotmail member services...but I want to provide them with the exact sender address of the activation e-mail, which I unfortunately already discarded.

Thanks,
John

 

I don't think I do... if I do, it's at home (I'm at work)... I'll check tonight...

hotmail ate mine too I suppose. No biggie... I switched it to my home email and it worked like a champ... I suppose hotmail's spam protection is working without us asking for it... I know this isn't the first time that I haven't recieved email from them...
