My apologies...I have recently discovered the error I made. I suppose it was VERY late last night when I attempted to sign-up at pure-data.org.
(I'm as guilty as anyone of not reading instructions before opening my mouth and revealing to the world my ignorance)
Sorry...and please disregard my previous message. Regards, Dave Sabine

Hello,
Kudos to the new design of pure-data.org! It looks like a much more powerful website than the previous version.
I have a problem however, and I hope that the webmaster of pure-data.org
is
a subscriber of this list. (I tried to find an email link or submission form on pure-data.org so that I could ask this question but I could not - hence, I'm using this list to ask instead.)
I tried to register as a new member of pure-data.org so that I could participate in the surveys and other fun stuff. However, when I
registered
I was not provided with a text box wherein I could place my email address. As a result, the page warned me that there was a "problem" with the email address that I had entered.
Then, to find an alternate method of entering my email address, I tried to login. I was assuming that there would be ways of managing my 'account' once I had logged in. However, my username and email address was not
valid.
Perhaps I'm impatient and need to wait until either my account is authorized, or until the database is updated (if it's not real-time).
In either case, I'm left with one problem and one suggestion:
Problem:
- How can I activate my account on pure-data.org?
Suggestion:
- If the registration process requires a valid email address, then there
needs to be a text field on the registration form for that information.
Many thanks. and sorry for using this list for non-PD messaging.
Regards, Dave Sabine
