Hi! I just did mine. It says the logins are separate for the store and the site for extra security. Hope that helpS some!

Hey Mike, I am very frustrated with the forum/site/interactive map! Maybe we need to have more posts to become official? I sent in my $19.99 fee to get a member number and access to the interactive map but I have not seen any confirmation of that other than a welcome post or two! There is nothing on the interactive map for me to see! When you have to have two different log ins for one site, it makes it very confusing. I wish other members or the organizers were more adept at explaining how to get around on the site!

The store and forum are different accounts, although they look similar, they use totally different software so they can't really share a login. So just create an account on the store by purchasing the membership, you will then receive an email with a code and a URL that will link your overland bound membership to your forum account.

I was actually responding to the OP but I see it's a few weeks old now and looks resolved. It seems clear your membership isn't connected with your forum account yet.
You need to activate your membership, you will have an email from your purchase that says "Welcome to the Overland Bound Team!"
In that email there is a code and a link, you need to copy that code and click the link. Email should look like this:

That is your forum registration email, if you successfully purchased a membership you will have several emails regarding that. Check your spam folder.

Hi Slopitch. I am sorry to hear that you never received your welcome email. I am hopeful that @Chris Jones will be able to assist in sorting this out. If you need additional assistance in the future, please feel free to email info@overlandbound.com or post in the Support forum [link].

your number is 14886
I updated your account and upgraded it while I was there. Welcome. And sorry it took so long to get you sorted.

Is there some sort of waiting period after you activate your account before it shows up on your forum account? I got the email with my member number, clicked the link and entered the activation code. It seemed to work, but I still can't see the member map content and it doesn't show any member info that I can find. I tried entering the activation code again, just in case and it says it's not valid now.

I had no problem with my membership, I signed up, ordered the membership, paid and shortly after I received a confirmation with my member number. Still waiting to receive the badge but its supposed to be delivered today or tomorrow, cant wait (altho my jeep still hasnt arrived lol, ill be getting OB badge before the rig)
