Is your account already activated with another e-mail account? If it has, your account is already activated even if you change the e-mail address.

If your account has already been activated and you are able to post you just need to change your e-mail address in your account settings to
your hotmail/outlook.com address.

An automated e-mail from the LibreELEC forum will confirm the change if [email protected] is in your safe senders list.

Try changing your e-mail address in your profile to your Hotmail/Outlook account on your LibreELEC forum page to see if it works.

Nope, I registered with my hotmail account. Have never receive an activiation email, yet still seem able to post etc. Also have not changed the email address on my account.

Strange gremlins at work I think

To LibreELEC forum users with Outlook.com e-mail accounts,

I have found a workaround for getting around the Outlook.com spam filter:

• Open a web browser and login to Outlook.com
• Click on the settings icon (looks like a gear) in the top right hand corner of the page
• When the menu comes down, click on Options
• In the Options List, under Preventing junk emails category, click the Safe and blocked senders option.
• Next, click the Safe Senders option.
• In the text box with the heading Sender or domain to mark as safe, type in the following:
  [email protected]

• Then, click the Add to List >> button.
• Click on the Outlook.com writing/button in the top left hand corner of the page to get back to your Inbox.
• On another browser Window, login to the LibreELEC forum web page.
• To trigger an Activation E-Mail send, try to post something in the forum or click on the private message button
  in the top left-hand corner of the page (looks like an envelope).

• Follow the instructions on the page, enter your Outlook/Hotmail address and send it.
• Check your Inbox and follow the instructions in the Activation E-Mail to activate your LibreELEC forum account.

I hope this helps people with an Outlook.com e-mail account. It fixed the problem for me.

Please Note:
I have noticed on the forum site in the user profile options there is no button/option to resend an activation e-mail. Is it possible
this could be added to the user account profile page somewhere?

Tried this but I can't get the activation e-mail to send. I was able to post something in the "Off-Topic" forum and clicking the privat emessage button just takes me to my private message screen.

I also never received an activation email (Hotmail as well). Is there a way of triggering it to be re-sent?
