Tek Help!

Okay, guys, I tried to sign up at www.jessica-alba.com and am having some problems. Would be obliged if anyone can pinpoint what I'm missing.

I filled out the password info. etc. and got the confirmation email. Hit the link to finish the sign up process and it takes me back to the front page of the site. I didn't see any confirmation buttons so I tried my username and password at the login and it says I'm not in the database. Tried the admin for a help email and haven't gotten any replies. Ideas? Thanks again for any help.

I'm interested to read the note about her blaming Bush for her uncle's deployment to Iraq. I hope she's not a lib too, otherwise I'll have to give up on all Hollywood women as sad as it may seem.

You'll just have to be patient in waiting for a response from that admin because nobody here can help you with a database issue on another site. Sounds like you did everything right though.

As for the Iraq article... I can get to it fine:

BTW, what she said was said when he was sent there the 1st time around. I'd hardly call that slamming either.

Thanks for the help and link.

I understand some people don't like war and that's okay but, maybe I'm too conservative, I just can't understand blaming ourselves when we actively do something to help a country being terrorized by it's own leader, who also has ignored the UN's call to disarm.

I've got 1 brother currently in the military, and 2 others who were in previously. 2 of the 3 went to Iraq the first time while 1 is going to Afghanistan this year. When they both left the first time, the thought never entered my mind to be angry at the President for it, I was angry at Saddam and I was ~12 years old then. As far as I'm concerned anyone in uniform for our country is a hero for making the sacrifices they have to be in the military and helping to preserve the freedoms we enjoy. I can't fathom demeaning those efforts by acting like they're failing over there or it's wrong and doing anything but supporting them until it's over. But that's just me I guess. Okay, I can come down off the soap box.

I guess I'm resisting the belief that most Hollywood people are liberal, anti-war activists by default, knowing it would eliminate any hope I'd ever have of getting along w/some like Alba.

How do you use the custom avatar pic.
I used a url and it still doesnt work
Do I have to wait a certain amount of time?

I can't recall since it's been so long since I've been a n00b... not sure if you have to have a certain amount of posts first... but to use a custom avatar, go to that screen where you input the URL... then hit SET URL. Right after that you scroll to top of the same page and you'll see your new avatar if it loaded correctly. Are you seeing the image at this point?

Then hit SELECT THIS AVATAR to set it. You should see it in your profile screen now. But you have to then hit the UPDATE PROFILE on that page to set it.
