sign up prob

[Empty_5oul]

i have tried joining the project and bits seem to be working - as u can c i have added myself to team AMD Users.
when i try to add my username in the actual prog it doesnt like it, i have looked in the FaQ and i think it is because of the underscore (_) in Empty_5oul.

is the reason and is there a way round it or do i need to change my username ??

[Empty_5oul]

this is the oringinal question where i found this info out, i have checked the rest of out team and no one else has a underscore.
it seems a bit or a stupid error

Q:
Why won't the Seventeen or Bust client accept my name, when the web page sign up (or a previous client version) did?

A:
The Seventeen or Bust client allows alpha-numeric characters only while the account creation page on the web site allows a wider range of characters. This discrepancy will be addressed in future versions of the client.

To be safe, limit yourself to 12 characters, including spaces (says the user formerly known as TomMelaniephile.)

Underscores are ok.

1. Did you sign up here : http://www.seventeenorbust.com/signup/

I did it all only 2 days ago.

[Empty_5oul]

ohwell, i guess ill have another go some other time.

atm im just changing my name to Empty5oul and c if that makes a difference.

[Empty_5oul]

right when i run the program it now allows me to put in Empty5oul as my username but wont allow AMD Users in the team box. what do u have typed into this ??

[Empty_5oul]

The trick here is to use the team number:

83

In the 17 properties, you have 3 priority bottons, the middle one slows down other dcs, the right one make 17 go too slow.

Take your pick. The stats for this are great.

k, thats kool.

i think ill run them on alternate days then. but give them maximum when they are actually running.
