Have you looked at the thread I posted/made for you at Murga? They are discussing your issue.

Flash said you did not register. So try again.

Flash didn't say that, he said:
I never told anyone to look for those names on the Murga forum. Someone made that up instead of following the OP bug report.

OP bug report:
I'm confused. Has Flash emailed the unconfirmed November registrants since you posted the bug report? Maybe other unconfirmed registrants are suffering the same bug. Has he added a contact method to the error message about contacting the Murga forum admin?

OP bug report:
You said:
As explained before, trying again would mean creating an entirely new email account for every re-try.

OP bug report:
The linuxquestions.org and the murga-linux.com registrations are supposed to work the same way, basically. The linuxquestions.org registration worked but the murga-linux.com registration didn't. The murga-linux.com registration might stay broken for as long as people ignore the bug report.

Thanks for trying.

I'm just a member on the Murga forum and there are new members listed for pretty much every day in the month of November on the member list. So it appears to not be a widespread forum bug.

I do know that the forum software does not cooperate well with some email providers so that could be the cause of your problem.

i wouldn't call that a bug report.
it's a request.
i thought it to be a humble request, but now i get the feeling that you have a sense of entitlement here that does not fit the situation.
if i was the forum owner i'd think: i tried, and i get more demands and criticism thrown my way. maybe it's better that this one stays out.

please keep in mind that a forum is not a democratic institution.

only according to you.

This thread has strayed from the original post topic. Time to close

Best I can do Bro. We are all part of the Linux community. I try and pay it forward.

I know of James C there. He has a point and is a sharp Linux user. I used gmail account I have for forum registrations. Not my ISP provider mail account. Forum sites seem to handle gmail OK.

You and James and Sailor Enceladus and I all agree that the Murga forum has a registration problem with emails.

James c said:
We don't know because the Murga forum admin hasn't said whether he even tried to email since the bug report or whether any email was ever sent even before the bug report.

James c said:
My Murga forum username was listed as a new member in the stats at the bottom of the forum's homepage so those stats include inactive/unconfirmed usernames so they don't tell us how many of those usernames never get the confirmation email, or how many give up before getting a delayed email in a spam folder. I was surprised at how long my username stayed as the newest user before being replaced.

rokytnji said:
Thanks, remembering the OP bug report, if at least the Murga forum admin would provide a contact method in the error messages so inactive users can contact him like the message says the admin wants, then I wouldn't have to ask you here. It's not just the email, it's Murga forum's sequence of doing things and series of blockages that put me here.

This is an OT personal attack that doesn't offer any constructive help to solve the registration OP problem.
You already yelled at me earlier in the HPLIP thread without offering any constructive help to solve the HPLIP OP problem.

Your other posts where you tried to offer technical solutions to people are better.

Gordie said:
This thread is still good for the HPLIP OP. I didn't want to complain when rokytnji responded with a registration-only post in the HPLIP thread instead of in the registration thread and I replied to him because I didn't think the OT discussion would be prolonged but everyone please post about the registration problem in the registration thread. LQ admin, you can move the registration posts to the registration thread.

If me. This is how I would roll. i've done 128 MB Puppy Linux sd card installs.

I kept my save files on the Windows 10 computer till I learned how to deal with cheating on 4 primary hard drive partitions on a Compaq CQ 60 laptop.

My Puppy posts are here.

So if in your shoes. I'd find me a small Puppy spinoff of my choice. Download and burn it on a cdrw leaving the cd disk burning option open for writing more data to it later. Install PLIP Full

When shutting down the puppy run on my cdrw disk. I'd name the save file hplip. Then I would shutdown.
Walla. I now have a puppy cd with hplip installed to use like you wish to. Good for any computer. Just like my SD Card was. I did this long ago. The gold leaf contacts on that junk 128MB sd card peeled off.

This was done more as a learning experience and just seeing on how small of a Linux hardware install I could run. And still be practical.

@ mailer:-

I believe you'll find that posts concerning your registration problem are still being posted here for one simple reason.....because your thread for that issue has been closed by the staff of this forum.

Most of the issues here stem from the fact that John Murga, who very kindly hosts the Puppy Forums, and does so entirely at his own expense, without asking anything in return, happens to be running quite elderly, and heavily-modified phpBB software for the Forum.

John is much more busy these days than in the early days of the Forum. He doesn't have the time to modify the Forum software (not without a lot of messing around), and, if he were to 'pass on' the day-to-day running & maintenance of the Forum to other parties, there would also be all the mucking about with re-registering domain names, etc, etc.

The Puppy membership has grown used to the Forum's 'quirks' by now. I agree that the problematic registrations issue could, perhaps, be made a wee bit more manageable.....but the majority of individuals joining the Forum do so without any problems.

You are, I think, the first person I have come across since joining the Forum over 3 1/2 yrs ago who has managed to make such an enormous mountain out of a fairly minor molehill.....

Mike.

Thanks but the OP is for pre-installed.

Someone closed the registration thread, so registration is not OT here after all.

So in addition to all the registration OP problems:
I post the Puppy bug report in the LQ Puppy forum but the LQ staff close the thread.
Rokytnji posts the Puppy bug report on the Murga Puppy forum but the Murga forum admin doesn't address anything in the bug report, at least not in his two posts there.

Everyone can post updates about or solutions to the registration bug here as part of getting answers about the HPLIP OP on the Murga forum.

Update, it's been over a month since rokytnji posted the bug report at the Murga forum and I still haven't received the confirmation email. Has the Murga admin done anything?

also with respect to your other thread (total unwillingness to take the advice offered and do something with it, instead mindlessly harping on about the same unspecific error message from post #1) - i'll just repeat what i said before:
