    In progress Non Microsoft Account

    Post by damned1a June 3rd 2014, 5:19 pm

    I have a prospective new member for my forum, however, he does not have a Microsoft account, can I still give them access to the forum?

    Is there any alternative to Microsoft?

    Thanks in advance.

    Bob.

    Hello,

    What does Microsoft have anything to do with your Forumotion forum?

    I have no idea, simply that when I invited a particular person to join the forum, he said he could not because he did not have a Microsoft Account. From your reply it would appear that this is  not a problem.

    My level of technical knowledge is lower then the Titanic, so I have to rely on yourselves to advise as to what I should tell them, on how to sign in if it requires any particular method.

    I will advise the prospect that lack of such an account should not be a problem, and await developments.

    Keep in touch if you think there is anything I should know, and I will do likewise.

    Kind regards,

    Bob.

    Well, judging from the context, it is likely that the person in question does not have an email address. Microsoft accounts can be used as email accounts so perhaps that person meant that.

    Unless further clarification is made, there really isn't much we can do since Microsoft and Forumotion are not connected.
