it just let me register, but it is tricky.

he has taken out the box feature because it wasn't working. there are people there actively watching registrations and trying to solve problems as they occur.

i found that i had to wait for the e mail they sent me and click on the link in it before it would allow me to sign in or post. the link brings up a new browser window, and i was able to continue from this window.

there may be problems with old cookies, john has a link up to clean out the old braintalk cookies if that is a problem. wasn't for me because i bought this computer while OBT was down.

just closed that browser window, opened a new one, went to OBT, and they welcomed me. so i at least am in.
