I tried re-registering, and it said the username was already being used. And I don't think it's a problem on my end because I could create this account and login just fine. I haven't installed any new firewalls or anything, and no one else has uses the computer.

What was your old account? If you couldn't register it, then that means that it already exists - either because your old account is still running or because someone else registered with that name.

Do you get any error messages?
What OS is running on your computer?
What browser are you using?
Do you have any other browsers installed?

Saying "it don't work" or "I can't log in" is too vague for us to give you some definitive answers. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. There are basically two options - there is something wrong with your account or there is something rong with your computer.

if the problem is with your account then you wouldn't be able to log in from anywhere (such as a school or library computer). If there is a problem with your computer then you should be able to log in from another computer but not log in with a new account.

I don't get any error messages, I have Windows XP, I'm using Firefox, and I also have Internet Explorer. Anything else you need to know? I can login with a different account (this one) but not with my original one (WoofDannie).

I just checked the members list and found my account WoofDannie. It says it's inactive. Is that why I can't login?

That's an odd one. Not too sure what you can do about that.

Send a pm explaining what's going on to Mercury Hat (head of mods) and see if they can fix up your account. If not then shoot a pm to the admin (Kisai) and see what she has to say...

If it's inactive, you never clicked the activation link, therefor you probably didn't get the email in the first place. Do you want me to activate it? Or did someone beat me to it?

Which email didn't I get? I was able to login before, that's how I got my comic started in the first place.

I went back to my email and found the one with the activation link for WoofDannie, and I clicked the link. It said I already activated my account.
