Well the reason is that there has been too many people who were not receiving
their activation e-mail. This problem was caused by many not configuring their
spam filters correctly. Also, many Service Providers just simply block certain
e-mails getting through and in some cases causing more problems than what they
are trying to fix.

Trying to resolve the difficulties of people unable to gain access to the Parish
Records has taken up far too much of my time and as such it has prevented me
from getting on with other additions to the Web site.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you but you will now have to do a new
registration by going to the Sign-Up link on the Members Web site.

The *good news* is that when re-registering you will not have to wait for an
activation email to arrive. Just fill in your details and agree to the terms and
conditions and you will have access straight away.
