Probably one of those automated emails, the problems with the verification process should be well-known by now. The support person who assisted you seemed to know better, I expect he sent you the same link I used to send in my documents.

I think it's best to reach out to support again and explain the situation, including the email you got and the problems with it. Maybe they can confirm whether the documents were received, like in my case.

And don't worry about the sports, you will be back soon. :f_grin: And you can still enjoy the beautiful weather.

I think they were referring to that QR code that appears when you try to verify your account using the largely non-functional standard option in the client. Sometimes, you would get the window to stay open for a few seconds before getting the error message, allowing you time to take a screenshot. Supposedly, you could then still use the QR code from the screenshot to verify your account via mobile. I can't comment on whether it works or if it is safe. I don't own a smartphone, so I never tried.

I still think it's best to talk it out with support again. And who knows, maybe the documents you were uploading the first time were fine already, and you just got a false automated email by mistake.

They looked pretty poorly when I planted them out in the garden. The leafs were pretty pathetically hanging for a few days, and now they are recovering. One tomato unfortunately didn´t make it. I gave them a lot of water and now they are recovering from the environmental change "trauma".

A turtle for comfort .....

Well HE came just right in time! Perfect timing to comfort poor Prim, who is injured - AGAIN!

Yes, guys, I´m injured AGAIN! The pulled muscle in my lower leg did not heal properly (okay, I didn´t give it enough time to heal, after 2 weeks, I already stood on the tennis court) and today, I probably got what I deserved for not letting the body recover properly: one movement, one sharp pain and the muscle was pulled again. And I´m limping- AGAIN! Well, guess that means enough time to make myself comfy on the couch and cuddle little Bowser junior. He´s ADORABLE!!! :f_love::f_love::f_love: And quite soft, so guess there won´t be too much sports in the next couple of weeks, very probably only swimming and a little strength training for core strength.

What cute and sassy little fella. :f_love: A bit like us, perhaps? :f_wink:

Maybe I should get some plushies of Sonic characters if you are collecting all the Mario ones. :f_biggrin:

Really sorry to hear about your injury, though. :f_cry: I knew you were looking forward to your sports.

Don't you worry, I will help you through it as always, and we will find many other challenges for both of us.

Thank you, Harrier! Swimming shouldn´t be a big problem, had this already several times! Will go to the doctor anyway....
And until I´m healed, me and Bowser junior will make ourselves comfy on the sofa. :f_biggrin::f_love: That sassy little cutie is really ADORABLE!!!!!!!! :f_love:

And there´s another Mario character ....

What would poor Baby Mario be without his twin brother Baby Luigi? Huh??

And with Bowser junior and Baby Luigi I got all the baby-characters from the Mario Games! :f_love:

Quo vadis, Prim?

Pokerstars STILL couldn´t manage to verify my account! I sent in my documents last week, I received a mail from the support, that I should use their website. They gave me a link to verify my account, just exactly to that homepage where verification doesn´t work!!! Thank you very much, Pokerstars, great customer service, really! :spit: So, today, I contacted the support again and sent my documents AGAIN! Every time I want to upload my documents the usual way, either at the homepage of Pokerstars.de or directly using the client I get an error message without having done or uploaded anything yet!!! :rage::facepalm:

All this sh!t makes me really think about leaving Pokerstars, but we in Germany have not many opportunities to play. I may try GG-poker? I saw that even Paypal works there, so no complicated Crypto-mess and stupid QR-codes for software idiots like me, but should be easy? But GG is mainly for CG I guess? I will wait for the answer of Pokerstars support, gladly, I cashed out my BR there, before we moved to Pokerstars.de! It´s really annoying, guys. No big deal with moving to Pokerstars.de, but then it should work. They messages us German players that we should verify our accounts within 3 days - yeah! Great! But verification still doesn´t work!!! What if some people are on vacation at that time? So, those who are on vacation and didn´t get the message get their accounts closed or what? This is ridiculous!! :facepalm::facepalm: I´m very dissapointed of Pokerstars! :spit:

Everyone seems to have had that problem. It's very frustrating, I know, and also quite disappointing that they didn't get it fixed by the time you tried it. I was among the first wave of players who tried to make the migration, so it was a little more understandable if they got overwhelmed (though it is still not an excuse, it is their responsibility to make sure that everything is running smoothly before forcing these things on us). But by the time you did it, over a week had passed already, the problems should have been well-known by then to say the least, or better yet, completely fixed.

That being said, customer supports have a lot of people to deal with, so they may often send out automated emails that are of little to no help like in your case, and with so many people working at support, the left hand may often not know what the right hand is doing.

That's why I think it's best to have a back-and-forth with someone at live chat in these situations, to make sure that they understand what you mean. Let them know exactly what happened before, and exactly what went wrong and what the problem is. It looks like that's what you did today.

The situation was grossly mismanaged by Stars, but once you're done with it, it should never become an issue again, so there is no point in trying to change rooms out of frustration.

I had some issues as well if i remember correctly. Using the PokerStars app on my phone for the verification did the trick. Maybe try that?

Don´t know how to do that.

Strawberries rock!

Don´t you think? At least riding a bicycle is no problem and neither is gardening. So, could harvest a lot of strawberries!! Besides, our "landlord" (the project manager of "Freetime Farmer") told us to keep the mint in check! The mint is growing like crazy. As little Prince Bowser Koopa junior at home was screaming for a refreshing smoothie, as it´s 27°C here, I decided to make a nice strawberry-mint-smoothie with almond milk.

Little Bowser junior approved! He thinks that this smoothie rocks!

Actually, no. :f_grin: But I see the little guy likes them. And I would like to get into making smoothies myself this summer.

If you don't have the Pokerstars app on your phone right now, I wouldn't recommend getting it only for this purpose. It's possible to get this resolved without it, and you should already be in the process of it anyway.

If you have the app already, I'd say it is worth a shot.

You're not alone.

Stick with the plan, then. If the verification isn't complete by Monday, I think it's time to drop them another line.

Hello? Brain anywhere?

I can´t believe it. I got an E-mail from Pokerstars support and you know what? They wrote me the same standard stuff as before: I should use the link on the homepage to verify! Yeah, the link which doesn´t work and which is one of the reasons I CANNOT verify because I get an error message all the time!

And this is actually why I contacted the support because I can´t verify my account neither via client nor this link! :f_ugly::f_ugly::f_ugly::f_ugly: And now it´s the second time I get a mail, to please use this link!!! :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

Urm ........... EXCUSE ME??!!! :wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf:

I have no words, but if I offered SUCH a service to my customers, I very quickly would be broke!! :spit:
