The #kbin signup process has … room for improvement.

You sign up. You wait for the email to confirm your email address. It takes a long time, so you do something else. The mail arrives, you click the link. It has expired.

What you end with: you have an unconfirmed account you can't login with. The login credentials don't work. But resetting your password doesn't help since it's unconfirmed. And you can't reuse your username OR your email address, because "they are already in use".

Crap.

@sashag agree, may be worth checking if anyone has reported it yet.

It didn't happen to me but I heard this from others on here - one person said that eventually (a day later?) it let them in. I'm not sure what that means but they completed the process.

@happyborg They seem to have someone or a batch job going through timed out confirmation requests because it indeed somehow worked now :)
