Stupid Question...

Post by The Rat Lady » Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:10 pm

I'm trying to post a "Playa event" but it won't let me sign in, and when I try to create an account (The main site says I don't exist!) it won't let me...it just keeps saying post a valid value...but won't tell me what's not valid!!!??? Frustration is building........Help!

Not sure what to tell you other than go to the URL above. I login just fine and it opens to allow me to fill in the event information just fine.

You must have the "go in loop" button checked.

I've tried testing the Register link to see what error messages it gives.
  • Usernames can only have letters, regular letters without accent marks and such. Using symbols or numbers might mess you up here.
    Email addresses must contain the full @email.com ending. You can't leave off the .com (or .edu or whatever)
    Passwords are pretty open ended, as long as you type the same thing twice.
Also, the main site uses a different user database than e-playa. Your e-playa user data does not exist there.

Thanks, I'll try that! But I did get the friend I am going with to list both of our events.
