What's this "check that email and verify it, Marco!" panel at the top of the screen?

Asked by Amorphous_Blob (259points) December 16th, 2009

And I’m not even named Marco! At the top of the page, it says “Go check that email and verify it. Marco! Click here to resend to [my real email address], or change your email.” I hadn’t gotten any email, so I clicked and tried again, still no email. Is this some kind of sick joke?

@Sarcasm You don’t get to.

Apparently just a random name they use here to tell you to click on the link in your registration email to register. Thanks, MissyB, btw, it was there.

Hasn’t anyone ever played a game of Marco Polo in the swimming pool? @Jacket has it 100% right.

What? I don’t have any such thing at the top of my screen.

Yarny, I think it was because I just joined and they wanted me to check my email and reply to the email (which was in my spam folder) to really “go live”.

@Amorphous_Blob Oh, I get it. hahaha
