    new member registration problem

    Hey guys, my good mate is here trying to sign up to the forum but we are having difficulties....

    If he is using my WIFI, will the forum think im trying to create a second account and stop him from registering?

    if thats not the problem, does anyone have any suggestions please?

    Cheers, 40mm

    No idea really but if he's using his own email address I would think it should work.

    Wifi has nothing to do with anything, its either a username been used before by someone or email address but I doubt if its that

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Or something simple like stand on the harbour bridge with a whopping great big flame thrower.
    That would be a great way to get famous.

    . Don’t give the man ideas that are well within his capabilities. Now no longer known as the Nippon clip on the Auckland Harbour Bridge will forever be called the Flaming Flyover.

    My suggestion was purely hypothetical.
    Like where would he find a whopping great big flame thrower?

    Yup, I have a young keen hunter been trying for some 6 weeks. Used different emails, different wifi etc. I've sent email to Admin, no result. Sorry guys but not encouraging. I just messaged him when I read this thread and his response was " Bloody useless, I've given up".

    I know our admins are voluntary, busy and do their best. But how do we fix this? Not good to see up and coming turned off. Just saying.
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...

    I have sufficient faith in his abilities that I could imagine him making a vehicle mounted one with a mini tanker on a trailer as the fuel source.

    quite right @Spanners @stug @gimp @7mmsaum and myself are all volunteers however we are not an I.T helpdesk we are Forum mods and this issue seems to be a user issue not a forum issue as many others are signing up each and every day.
    Personally I go out of my way to help where possible but as far as individual user IT issues I am definitely not that savvy.
    I personally have no idea why your friend cannot sign up but I am confident it is not an issue with the forum.

    PM one of us, I don't think there is anyone actually receiving any emails that go to any admin address
