Guest, indeed! Help, I'm trapped inside a loop (or mebbe a Klein's bottle). When I protest that I'm a member,I'm advised to send mY email address, which, when posted, produces a "your email address is wrong" flag. When I try and "write to an adminstrator", I get the same message. When I try and become a member again, it still says my email address is wrong (how can an address be "wrong", anyway?).

It can easily be wrong if it's not the one you originally registered with.  http://help.mudcat.org/threads.cfm  will sort it out for you.

Jon, it sounds like you're trying to register again.

Go to the the Quick Links, and select "Reset Cookie." If you've forgotten your password, post in the Help Forum, and Pene Azul/Jeff can help you. (Malcolm posted the link, and it's at the top of every page.)

NO Jeri, Jon Bartlett was stuck in the dreaded old member loop. Looks like Pene is sorting him out but for reference, you get something like this below and it can be a bugger to get out of...

Yep, Jon - I forgot about that. Hopefully, Jeff will get him sorted out.

Hooray! Many thanks to Pene Azul and to all Mudcatters who released me! Now you get three wishes. Jon (it was that stoopid "G" that I had forgotten)

Yay! You're free! (And in my experience, middle initials cause far too much trouble for their worth)

Is that Jon Bartlett the one from Vancouver?

Fear not. The illustrious BBC site has a far more subtle (did I mean unergonomic) site syntax
I registered and flouted their rules (te he) and got the first post in before the auto-censor awoke. Trying to find how to alter my personal details was a waste - you can't. So eventually I unsubscribed and resubscribed legally. BUT I answered the oldest validation e-mail second and - you guessed it - am now flouting the rules with impunity. Unless they read this. or their own site!
I think the 'catter could be improved a wee bit with a better choice of word here and there but by comparison with the BBC, who should know better, this is a breeze.
three cheers for Max.
