Almost all the instances where a login refuses to let you re-enter your info - that I've been able to find a reason for - are from inadvertently changing what you enter, and/or how you enter it. The mudcat system isn't too fussy, so far as I know, but on many login systems, a number off the number row on your keyboard IS NOT the same thing as a number off your NumPad, and a Shift-char is not the same as the char with CapLock turned on. On some systems, the left and right shift keys are even treated as different.

Although we wouldn't accuse you of just forgetting which password goes with which name - or something similar, it is pretty easy to do, especially if you use quite a few different ones at different places.

At mudcat, you need an email address that's associated with the name you use, the name itself, and the password that you make up. If you have more than one email address, and put the wrong name/address combination in, you may not get a login. Of course if you have 2 emails, 2 names, and 2 passwords, you have 8 different ways to mix them up - 6 of which aren't going to work.

You need to pick one name to use, one email addy to register it to, and one password. You should NOT generally just re-register under a different name, since it confuses all of us as much as it may confuse you.

At the top of each page here, there's a "Help" button. If you go there, you can send a message to the mudclones, and usually they can get the problem straightened out. Note that if you go to the "forgotten password" and ask them to send you your password, they can only send it to the email address you used to register the name you ask about. If you have more than one name, the assumption is that you have more than one email account, so make sure you get the right one for the name you ask about - or send an email to whichever clone responds to tell them where to send the info.
