Re: New account verification proceedure

You probably have a family member who does. I assume if you have a computer, you probably have someone in the family with a cellphone.

Worst comes to worst, shoot me an email.

Re: New account verification proceedure

So it will prompt you for a cell number when you go to post the img/link, I take it? Or is that part of the sign up form? lol 'cause I totally don't remember a phone number for that... lol...

I understand why you're doing it, but wouldn't an email make more sense. Phone activations are so inconvenient, especially since a lot of parents won't be inclined to let their kids borrow their cellphone to sign up for a Spyro site, you know what I mean, right?

Just putting that out there...

They can still sign up and post; they just won't be able to post images or links. If they try, they will be prompted for a cell phone number. It's optional.

As Spyrorocks said, if they don't have access to a cell phone, they can PM him to fully activate the account.

Re: New account verification proceedure

I didn't used to have a texting plan on my phone. It costs extra and some people just don't want to pay for it.

But like I said, I don't think it's a problem since there's an alternate way to verify if you can't get text messages.

Re: New account verification proceedure

I still don't have a text plan. I also got charged $25 for incoming messages received this month from spam and friends who didn't know I was without a text plan.
