So... how the heck are you supposed to get on to newshost? I register, but when I try login it tells me my user is not found. Then when I try re-register, it says my username exists. Eh?

It might be that you registered and made a mistake when you filled in your password. If I remember correctly you should have received an email with your password. Have a look in there too see if you used the right password.

If you did and it still doesn't work, give me a password and I'll change it. You might have used an invalid character in the password or something like that.

...use the PM system to give me the new password

Hmm... I've tried creating two accounts already... the first one i used a private mail addy, but my server is a bit flaky today, so the second time i used gmail - and there has been nothing.

Invalid chars mebbe - what's not valid?

I personally tested the account and it's working fine

You sure you're filling in the correct password?

Yebo, 100%. Using either account, it just returns:

Username : thisgeek was not found.

Please Contact NZB Admin for assistance.

Obviously, for the other account it returns the other username

FWIW, the newshost site decided to remove some of the symbols in my password when I registered - that's why I couldn't log in.

Thanks to Bullfrog for helping me sort it out.
