If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Really NO ONE knows the answer to this question??
I actually thought the first guy who read it would have the answer.
Anyone?

Tighten it snug, and no tighter. The sump has aluminum threads which are easily stripped, especially if it has been partially cross threaded at one time or if the threads are full of debris. If you use a 3/8 drive ratchet and socket, when it feels tight and the plug gasket is seated, thats good enough.

finger tight then a tweek 
if it leaks, tweek a lil more.... if it doesn't then it's fine

I parked my old Yamaha 650 in front of a bike shop once, came back out, spotted some oil dripping. Looked underneath, the drain plug had backed out, it was about halfway unscrewed.
So don't get too carried away with the finger tight thing, they can come out.
I would say 8 ft pounds or so must be about right?
