A Must Read For All Newbies!!!!!

CJnDee · 10-23-2004, 12:46 AM

ATTENTION ALL NEWBIES!!!!!

A problem has been solved!!!!

A lot of the newbies have been having trouble putting pics into posts, editing posts, fixing their avatars and signature pictures.

The problem seems to be that you have not verified your membership with Jokaroo.

When you first register with Jokaroo you will have received a VERIFICATION email.....
when you receive this you must click on the link enclosed in it and complete all the fields that J-roo asks.

Once this is done, you will have ALL privileges.

How I worked this out is I subscribed as a new member with a different email that I have.
I tried to complete my sig and avatar before I got the verification email.
This did not work.....only limited me to putting j-roo avatar in and not my own.

Once I went back and verified my membership....all worked fine.

I have put an altered copy of the verification email below.

IF YOU HAVE LOST YOUR VERIFICATION EMAIL.....
there is a link below to go to....all you will need is your username for j-roo
