I want to join this forum but it doesn't let me due to my e-mail being Hotmail. Which e-mail server should I sign up with then?

Sign up for a Mail.com account and use that to register with TheDVDF.

I tried that but they won't allow that e-mail.

Why do the dvdforums even act like this?

Spam apprently, it got bad a few years back or soemthing like that. It was hard to sign up I admit, but its well worth it as the site is so big and full of so many diverse and interesting threads I find you can get lost

still its maybe not as personal as most sites, as there are about 55 million members

I mostly frequent the Photopgraphy forum and bargains

as it imposoble to look at it all.

They're not the only ones.

I believe Orange PAYG accounts are also accepted. Orange (formerly Wanadoo formerly Freeserve) offer two types of PAYG e-mail accounts:

1. Online Web based aka FSMail - No good
2. Full Orange account - Choose that just don't choose to upload the settings on your pc. This is a full POP3 account so DVD Forums shouldn't mind. To check the e-mail you can use the same FSMail front end which is nice.
