HELP!

[Carol]

I can't seem to register my name or email address. It keeps telling me that it is already in use by someone else! That's impossible.  I don't want to be a guest. I'd like to be a member. Can someone help me?

Hi Carol,

This is the problem:  You're registered with a Road Runner addy, and RR is owned by Time Warner, which is owned by....  AOL!  We've been unable to get email from dsboards to members whose mailboxes come through AOL servers.

I'm deleting your prior registration now, and this is the reason you haven't been able to reregister prior to my doing that-- the name is already registered.  But it will be available on your next attempt, though I must ask you to use another address to register that's not Road Runner or AOL**.  There's a link to hotmail in the "Registration" section of the Help files if that's the way you want to go.

We're really sorry about this inconvenience and I promise that we're very anxious to get you registered!  Please let me or MB know if you run into any more problems.


**or Netscape.com, also owned by AOL, and we're still waiting to hear if our registrants with Compuserve have been able to receive their passwords too.

Carol,

I'm also seeing you registered under a yahoo addy as "Carol" in addition to the Road Runner address as "carolinamoon".  If you haven't received a password via the yahoo address, which you should have, we can email one to you that you can later change.  However, that password will only work for the user name Carol.  If you want carolinamoon registered, you'll need to start over with registering it (the carolinamoon registration is now deleted, so the name is once again available, and I can always delete the registration for the user name Carol afterwards).  Why don't you email me via Midnite@dsboards.com and I'm sure we can easily straighten it out.  Thanks!

But new people are registering every hour so some other usernames might be taken by the time you read this.

The MB

Thanx for your help Midnight and MB. I emailed you privately, Midnight, with the username and addy I'd like to use if it is okay with you.  Thanx again.  What I've been able to see of this site has been great!! Good job to everyone involved.

My name is registered isn't it?

My name is registered isn't it?

It is. Being registered means you log in with a username and password, or you can't post.

This topic was started back when you didn't have to be registered to post; it's at the top because all the topics haven't been restored yet.

I didn't see it on the list!

I see your name on page 1 of my list.
