### How do I create an account?
|
|
|
|
How you create an account depends on whether you have a forum account.
|
|
|
|
If you have a forum account, then you'll need to prove that you are the owner of the account. This can
|
|
be done using a GitHub account or a random string in your forum account signature.
|
|
|
|
If you don't, then you can just sign up using an email address and password.
|
|
|
|
GitHub can only be used to log in, not to register.

|
|
|

|
### My verification email never arrived
|
|
|
|
There are a number of reasons this may have happened:
|
|
|
|
* Incorrect email address entered.
|
|
* Temporary problem with ContentDB.
|
|
* Email has been unsubscribed.
|
|
|
|
**When creating an account by email:**
|
|
If the email doesn't arrive after registering by email, then you'll need to
|
|
try registering again in 12 hours. Unconfirmed accounts are deleted after 12 hours.
|
|
|
|
**When changing your email (or it was set after a forum-based registration)**:
|
|
then you can just set a new email in
|
|
[Settings > Email and Notifications](/user/settings/email/).
|
|
|
|
If you have previously unsubscribed this email, then ContentDB is completely prevented from sending emails to that
|
|
address. You'll need to use a different email address, or [contact the admin]({{ admin_contact_url }}) to
|
|
remove your email from the blacklist.

## Packages
|
|
|
|
### How can I create releases automatically?
|
|
|
|
There are a number of methods:
|
|
|
|
* [Git Update Detection](/help/update_config/): ContentDB will check your Git repo daily, and create updates or send you notifications.
|
|
* [Webhooks](/help/release_webhooks/): you can configure your Git host to send a webhook to ContentDB, and create an update immediately.
|
|
* the [API](/help/api/): This is especially powerful when combined with CI/CD and other API endpoints.
