Validation Email Not Sending

[Zalbaag]

I signed up to Bulbapedia a little while ago, and got up to the validation email part. I had it sent, and checked my email, and nothing was there. I tried again and again, and still nothing. Today I've tried it yet again, and I still didn't get the email. I've checked my spam and trash boxes.

I'm not sure what's going on here...can anyone help?

P.S: This username is the one I'm using on Bulbapedia. Did Bulbapedia split off or something? I'm part of the main gaming wikis (or something to that effect) and I thought my user worked here too.

We aren't a branch of Wikia. Bulbapedia is its own entity, seperate from other non-Bulbagarden wikis.

You sure you used the right email? We've had some issues lately since we moved from a single-server to multi-server setup, so it wouldn't surprise me at all that validation emails got lost in the shuffle... which still is happening.

As for being related to other gaming wikis? Absolutely not. Bulbapedia is proudly a Bulbagarden wiki, alongside Bulbanews and Bulbagarden Archives, and is not in any way related to the Wikimedia Foundation or Wikia.

However, checking when you registered... you pretty much came in during the biggest mess of the upgrade. Everyone had the same IP, it was horrible. Blocking one jerkface caused a block of everyone. Literally.

But that's fixed. I don't exactly know what the problem could be... maybe wait a little while longer, or link accounts on Archives or News (which are working as they normally should) and send the validation email from there?
