Here’s my dilemma.
I have an emai address on my lap top, but since it blew up I use my cell phone which does not receive mail to that email address. I have used that email address to sign up for Disqus to post elsewhere.
Now to sign up at the alternative site, I can enter that email address but it is useless, though paid for, until I decide to get a new laptop.
Will that work?
You should be able to access your email account on the web. If it's through your ISP, go to the ISP's website and log into your account. You should have a mail account there.
You're welcome to sign up at altfreerepublic. People have used fake email addresses to sign up (I get an 'undeliverable email' message after the confirmation email is sent to a fake address) - those people are able to post. They just don't get the "Welcome to the forum" email which includes their username and password.
