The machine is not allowing me to connect to the WiFi at home, only to that on my phone, which I have been using all this while, but now I realize my phone might be something that's totally compromised.
Also while installing the OS one file was missing and it flagged an error warning, don't know whether that has anything to do with this.

This conversation was placed on the how to/faq forum with username Somdatta and title "Installed leap but facing issues"

At forums.opensuse.org

But strangely now it's not showing up on a search

As soon as I could connect thru the home wifi I got this:

installed seamonkey

You didn't follow that forums instructions, so your post should have been moved elsewhere appropriate to the subject. But, I cannot find anything by somdatta, or dcurtisfra either. Did you contact him privately? That would not be discoverable by anyone except you or him. https://forums.opensuse.org/search.php?searchid=4339397 should show any of your forum posts that he replied to, but I do not see any.

As I said, the posts have been deleted because they apparently elicited wrong answers, which is bizarre. Installed seamonkey 2.53.xx, now can't figure out whether that is the version I am using for my browser. How to find that?

Now we are ready to migrate to the mailing list.

I am not being able to create a seamonkey mail account. The create a new account option is not doing anything

Surprisingly there's no longer any user curtisfra and all my saved messages have been deleted, my inbox is wiped clean. My account exists though and I was able to log in. But only because I was using the seamonkey browser.

PLease advise what I should do to create a seamonkey mail account.

Now that I logged in with my seamonkey browser, the messages are showing up again. This is what I wrote in reply to dcurtisfra.

I believe if you look again now, you will find our exchanges on the site. Strange but true.

It's also possible I misguided you about the forum that I was posting at namely how to/faq and maybe that's why you didn't find them.
