Thanks everyone. Thats what I initially thought it might be, but was surprised I could create threads. I have tried to send another validation email but it isn't being sent or isn't getting through, plus I checked my junk/spam folders and no joy there. I did receive and confirm an email from noreply@garage.maemo.org to confirm a username though, but I don't know if that is related? I accidental signed up there before signing up here.

Again thanks for any help, I'll have to just keep an eye on my inbox I guess.
