The Case of the Missing Sock-puppets

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Hello there.

I been trying to register a new sign-in cos I fancy changing my name, and I've gone to the trouble of creating a new g-mail account and everythink, but when I type in the barely legible captcha and hit return the screen goes all blank and I don't get sent a new registration. Is this because

a) you trying to stop sock-muppets?
b) the site is knackered?
c) I can't type/read for shit?

thanks for your help here. Have a happy Xmas. PS Can I have a "ILX System Fixed It for Me" medal?

Same here! Please let me change my ultra-lame sign-in, oh great gods of ILX.

'C' may be the answer I fear. Unless you're using hotmail, that is, hotmail seems not to like our registration emails for some reason. Try again? I'll keep an eye on new registrations and see what shows up.

It's odd that three of us have xperienced the same prob tho. It's happened to me a couple of times. Used googlemail addresses both times. Could it be a Firefox ish?

I just mailed you to say this Pash but I've managed to register and the prob seems to be: v. difficult captcha + no message to say you have mistyped the captcha.

And now I has new log-in so all is good.

Just made another attempt using an gmail address. Blank screen yet again.

Success!!! Thanks again, Pash!

damn, now we can't even look at usernames to decipher changed logins. I have totally lost track of who some people are now. Is there a thread for that?

There's another problem can crop up -- mail can sometimes get backed up here, and if you get impatient and register again with the same email address, odd things happen.
