Unable to post a comment on the SOTT main page.

How does a forum member post a comment on SOTT?
Last weekend, I tried posting a comment on the SOTT main page, even after creating a new login for the page I never got back a response from the server, and when I tried to create a new one, I could not, since the email was already used.
I could not even use my current forum login in either. So what am I doing wrong?
How does one create a SOTT main page user to post comments?

You have to register on SOTT in order to comment - https://www.sott.net/users/signup - you can't use your forum login. Have you tried that option?

You have to register yourself as a new member of SOTT while choosing a name and a password.

Then you should receive a confirmation as a new member.

Maybe you could write to sott@sott.net and give them your user name on SOTT while telling them that you can not login.

I could not even use my current forum login in either. So what am I doing wrong?

Two different things so you need to be registered to both places if you want to make comments to both places.


Edit: I have just seen that Heimdallr has just answered to your question.

I did sign up at https://www.sott.net/users/signup with a new log in "AwarenessOfSoul", I had a real hard time with the text validation, I must have tried 20 times, but finally got an confirmations that I was accepted.
I never got a confirmation email.
I then tried signing up again at the /user/signup a few days latter, but now my AwarenessOfSoul was said that it was used under that email; so, could any admin be so kind to have that confirmation resent or could my initial attempt be reset?

I have just asked an admin to have a look at that.

As I said you could also have written to sott@sott.net and explain your problem.

Your account has been verified. You should be able to log in now. If you don't remember your password, you can go here:

https://www.sott.net/users/forgot_password

Note that both your username and password are case sensitive!

I'm having issues with registering too. It says that my email has already been taken. Do I need to set up another email account?

For some reason I am unable to post comments on SOTT.net. I am logged in. I keep getting a message, "internal server error." I am not sure what that means.
It was on the Predator True Nature of Man piece.
I really wanted to post a reply to that Edwinrad fellow.

Yep, SOTT is down for the moment. :( Should be fixed eventually. :)

Ok. Thank you, Vulcan.
