did you check in your mail to see if you received something from Forumotion (junk folder also) in order to activate your new forum
also note that some Email addresses that are not public ones will not work ... best to try with hotmail, live, gmail, outlook, dont use yahoo cause sometimes causes some problems

Hello @OldCroc

It was a mistake. You should no longer have the domain africamotion.net in the creation list because it is indeed a domain under maintenance as indicated by @skouliki

You should currently be able to choose another one. We apologize for the inconvenience caused
