After I get to the part where I create an account for any project's URL, it acts like I did not create the account, saying it is a bad username or something. What do I do? ID: 13113 ·

I tried it for at least one project in each category, and most of the math projects. I entered an email address and twice a password. They all say "Failed to attach to Click Finish to Messages from server: missing or bad parameter: user_name" ID: 13122 ·

What if you go to the project's website and create an account first, then try to log on using the email address/password that you used to create the account with? ID: 13123 ·

Last modified: 19 Oct 2007, 20:37:35 UTC I do not use a firewall or proxy. I made an account at one site (which worked,) but another does not seem to have a place to do that. But, there is probably also something wrong with the software. ID: 13152 ·

Just add create_account_form.php to the URL. So example given, http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/create_account_form.php .. that'll get you to the account creation form on Einstein. ID: 13153 ·
