Cannot access or find my new forum. [MOD HELP please!!!]

by murasaki_Sama September 20th 2011, 4:30 am

I have just created a new forum, ishmaelinc. ...um.
Well, the sign up said ishmaelinc.forumotion, but this other thing said it was ishmaelinc.forumfree.co.uk, so...yeah.

Anyway, I just created this forum. No problem came up when I was making it, I filled in all the forums and everything... And I clicked 'continue' on the last page, and then a small 'you may return to index' text link showed up at the top of a blank white page, and I clicked that, and went back to the main 'create a forum' page.

Now, I cannot find my forum! I entered the two possible urls, and all it does is take me back to the main 'create' a forum page. When I went back on my browser to the page where I filled out the forms, it now says that ishmaelinc.forumfree.co.uk exists, so I know I created it! But I cannot find it or access it at all!

I keep checking my email, but i'm not getting any emails asking me to confirm or anything. I even checked my spam... How long would I expect to wait to get such an email, if I will be getting one? Why can't I access my forum? How do I find my forum and log in as admin, so that I can start setting it up?

Please help. I would very much like to start building my forum...

EDIT:: The forum 'name' is Frontiers of Ishmael. the URL part I provided is ishmaelinc(.whatever the site provided)

After you create it, there should have been a page that said you can now visit your forum with the link. It sound like it was not created.

by murasaki_Sama September 20th 2011, 5:24 am

I didn't see any such page...Perhaps I just didn't let it load... Either way, the name wasn't taken before, but it is taken now, so it won't let me create it...So it was like...half created? I don't know...

A staff member needs to look at this topic.

by murasaki_Sama September 20th 2011, 5:29 am

Yes, that is sort of why I created it. Just waiting for one of them to see it and come help out. If they can...i hope they can...

by murasaki_Sama September 21st 2011, 3:23 am

I still need help!! I cannot find my forum and therefor cannot start creating/designing it...but I don't want to just give up and create another one! I LIKED the name I chose and the url I was going to use! Please help!

Try using this: https://www.forumotion.com/en/utils/ to locate your forum.

by murasaki_Sama September 21st 2011, 4:22 am

Hmmm...Its not working. I know its the right email, its the only one I use...and I tried like... all versions of the password I used that it could possibly be...not working.
I know i created a forum, because the name wasn't taken before, and it was taken afterwards....

Did you check your email spam or trash box?

by murasaki_Sama September 21st 2011, 5:24 am

Sig- yes, yes and yes...like...every few hours.
I even checked my history, and googled the forum name, url, and whatever else I could think of. nothing...

Reiyna - so its not just me?

by rieyna168 September 21st 2011, 5:28 am

murasaki_sama - yup, me also got this problem. what happen actually? i also even checked all my inbox,spam & trash.nothing...

maybe somebody hack my account. Sad

by murasaki_Sama September 21st 2011, 5:51 am

Ah, see, you had access to yours at some point. I created mine, but failed to get the link or something, and now i can't find it at all, like it only half exists...enough to block me using the url I choose, but not enough for me to find it via google or anything...

I believe everytime you create a forum. A message is send to you email, you used to create the forum. Have you try looking at your msgs?

by rieyna168 September 21st 2011, 6:01 am

my situation..i already used my forum almost 2years. i have 100+ user register my forum,have more than 100 topic & more than messages. Last i login my forum is end of august.2011...

When i try login a few day ago,my forum loss. Sad

by murasaki_Sama September 21st 2011, 6:05 am

Super Chivas - yes, as I have said several post above. I checked my messages, and I still check them regularly. No emails...
The name wasn't taken...I created the forum, didn't get the link or an email, and now the name is taken...sooo...it had to have been created, right? Logically? Unless someone else came up with the same idea for a name, and made a forum at the same time I was making mine?

Reiyna - yeah, different problem.

A question: was there a message from Forumotion in your administration panel about your forum breaking the ToS?

by rieyna168 September 21st 2011, 4:26 pm

slg - also cannot see administration panel. all totally loss.

right it looks to me that you need to talk to the godfather about this problem but i'm sorry you can not pm him so best pm a admin here with your links to your posts and the email address you both used to make your accounts with

NOTE: Don't post your email addrss in this thread juxt to the admin if he ask

For one thing this is not the same problem.
rieyna168 Please do not come into others thread for something that dose not have to do with the same problem, If you do not have a thread started with your problem already then start one, If you do then you will have to wait for a reply there,It is to confusing to try to help two people with completely different problems in one thread.

Your problem sounds to me as if the forum creation did not complete or may be got cut off somehow from the final process etc??? The only thing i can suggest is creating a new forum with a new email address. Don't worry about the forum name, If the name is taken use something else, you can always go back and change the name in the ACP once you are logged into your forum.

Be sure to remember the email address and password you use to create the forum with,
