Whats the matter with Vintage Computer Forum ?
Its got walls like Mordor
I thought I might register. I filled out their form (tedious) and hit
submit.
It tells me my email address is already in use !
It then offers to change my password and asks for my email address.
It says email sent needless to say there's no email
This site is more confused than I normally am
Anybody know a spell or incantation to get into this closed site.

Hopefully Erik will be along soon to explain how to register. I know it
changed hosts in Feb so there may still be teething troubles.

It would appear the transition did not go well.
I thinks I registered when I had not.
I keep getting told to recover my non existent user name and password.
So I put in my email address as asked and of course it doesn't send
anything because there is nothing to send.

For the life of me, I don't understand why the old VC Forum URL simply
doesn't automatically redirect to the new one.

Rod, I note that on the list you've used 2 different email addresses:
rodsmallwood at btconnect.com
&
rodsmallwood52 at btinternet.com
Do you still have access to both? Is it possible that you used the
older of the 2?

Sounds like someone else with Rod's name is already registered.
Rod, send me what you want to say and I'll post it in the DEC forum on your behalf.

Yes, me too. My experience of the whole thing was a seamless one. I'm
redirected from my old bookmarked link and everything works just as it did.
