Title: trouble registering to silk road
Post by: wakenbake on April 22, 2012, 03:56 pm
whenever i click on the green 'click here to join' link on the silk road site i am redirected to the correct page, however when i fill in the information, it redirects me back to the home page. But when i use the username and password i've just created the page just refreshes, as if the registration didn't work.

is this a resolvable issue or am i just being a fool?

Are you typing in the CAPTCHA correctly?

well i dont usually mess up CAPTCHAs and i have tried to register a few times now so im pretty sure that's not the problem,

are there character limits/requirements on the username/password fields?

also how many numbers should i use for the withdrawal pin or does it not matter?

the above two questions are the only ideas i have for what might be going wrong.

Not that I know of. Unless you are trying to use some interesting characters in your password, such as space.

Username is case sensitive, this one caught me out at the start

the only characters im using are numbers, letters and capitalised letters.

and since the start i assumed it would be case-sensitive. i have no idea what i'm doing wrong.

I've been having this same problem. Once I try to register it sends me back to the login page and my info doesn't work. Could it be that I'm choosing a name that already exists? Any help on this would be really awesome.

You get an error message if the username you're choosing is already taken.
