Creating an account
First we need a unique login name and a password.
About your login name
This is the name you use to log in to the site therefore it must be unique. If you choose one that is already in use it will be rejected.
It's not case specific so John, john and JOHN are exactly equivalent.
Your screen name (the one which will appear alongside your contributions) can be different to your login name. This means you can use your email address as a login name.
About passwords
There aren't many restrictions on passwords here. 6 characters minimum. That's it.
If you prefer to use long passwords or phrases that's no problem.
The way we store logins means that we can't remind you of a forgotten password as we don't actually have it. If you've supplied us with an email address we can send you a link to enable setting a new password.
