So, heres a working guest post. I open this up just in case some current or former forum users get logged out, can't reactivate an account, or generally can't do something to log into their account.
One thing though. Since this forum now uses a Q&A captcha to filter out spam (even for guest posting) I need ideas on new questions and answer. Simple questions or statements are easiest for new members who do not know english as a primary language, so keep that in might when creating new questions/statements.
DO NOT post new questions and answers in this thread. Send a pm to pheonixstorm. The more questions we have, the longer and harder it will be for the spam bots to find a way to wiggle back into our lives.
It is taking a long time to get an activation email

I can't create an account, because it says my account has not been activated. I am not receiving an email to activate my account. Is the mail server working yet?

I have tried at least a dozen times to download the installer, and each time it fails to download the complete file. I have tried at all hours of the day and night and the results are roughly the same (meaning that the download doesn't always fail at the same point).
*EDIT* At least the spammer had an actual problem even if fictitious.

Did you try a download manager with support for continuing partial downloads?
With big downloads like VS, it's kind of a must-have

I did
and why I did not delete it and the little bots account
Why mess up the continuity of the thread when there was no reason to.
Enjoy the Choice

Lol, I've been so busy lately, it being such a common problem with VS, and nothing cried spammer to me. What was it that gave it away?. No, I didn't see the changes, I think I saw it right after it was posted, but my replied sitted there unsubmitted due to heavy work, so when I got some time I just submitted without re-checking - there was no reason to. Or so I thought.
