Why can I not access the Kickstarter forum?

[Brewtality]

I am able to access the Kickstarter forum, but am not labeled as a "Backer"

Thanks Sean!

I'm a backer and I can't see the kickstarter forum section.

I'm a backer and I can't see the kickstarter forum section.

I'm in the same boat. Or rather, I can see that it exists but I don't have permission to read it.

Looks like never received my activation e-mail :P
Probably something to do with me getting server error messages while registering.

Just sent you one. Should be in your inbox. If you do not see it there, please check your spam/junk folder.

No access either... pretty sure I used the email link... and used the right email address... just no access.

Just verified and fixed each of these accounts. You should all be good to go now.

Ok this is just odd.... checked email again, spam folder, everything and nothing..... I doubled checked the email address on my profile and retyped it just for good measure... I may need to switch to my yahoo account if it doesn't work again because AOL on occasion likes to ignore emails entirely. I am subscribed to the stoic newsletter though... so I really don't know what is happening :\
Hope to hear back soon and get this resolved, can't wait to get posting!

Weird. Well, I went ahead and forced your confirmation and found you in the Kickstarter so upgraded your account, too. If you are not getting emails from Stoic via AOL, though, I recommend potentially changing to another account or working with AOL to see if they are junking them before they even get to you (and, if so, why).

I think the same is happening with me as well. I have no message in my main or spam inbox. If need be I can use my hotmail account here and in Kickstarter to activate my account.

Sean, I'm a backer as well but the system didn't recognize my FB Login.

Okay, BS bingo, it works :-)

It does look to be an AOL issue now. I went ahead and forced your confirmation and upgrade, too. Let me know if it does or doesn't work!

[Biowulf]

It worked, thanks sean!

[TheBobWiley]

Everything is working now, thanks a ton Sean!

[Pocky Monster]

Hmmm, I can't view the kickstarter forum either...

Verified and upgraded your account - you should now have access to the Kickstarter group.

[Guðmundr]

Same here, didn't get the email.

[Sean]

Ahhh, AOL! They don't seem to like our emails. I've gone ahead and forced your account to be verified and upgraded. Let me know if you have any issues.

[Guðmundr]

Works great. Thanks Sean!

I seem to be having an issue accessing the Backer forum as well. I received a confirmation email when I registered (to the same email account I use for Kickstarter) and followed the link. However, I appear to not have the required permission to access the forums. I can see it exists, but I just can't access it. Care to help a Viking out?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Not sure what kind of data you are collecting on the issue since a few people seem to be having various issues, but if it helps, I registered in the early AM on May 1st... shortly after the servers came back from the crash.
