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.

As in size of the offset or number of teeth? What bike, any mods? You don't have enough information for anyone to help other than to say 'standard offset'. 8)

Hey it's only been alittle over three hours since your last post. Some of us take alittle bite more time in the can 
Anyhow if you have installed a wider rim and tire and the chain is touching the tire or the chain is at an angle a offset sprocket can help. The only sizes I know of is 3/8 and 5/8. Take a straight edge piece of metal or even a good metal tape measure and place it across the side of rear sprocket going to the counter sprocket and see what the gap is and go from there. You can even remove the sprocket and lay the straight edge across the hub flange if there is not enough room around the frame or counter sprocket area. Just make sure your rear wheel is center or adjusted correctly.
Me I just eye ball mine plus my rear slick is offset to the right anyways and a 5/8 offset works well for me. If the chain looks straight them I'm good to go. Then again I'm always swapping rear sprockets and have 3 different chains laying around.
