Re: does anyone else have a separate account to the discussion boards or is it just me?

This website is split into a few different sections, and you need a separate account for all of them. The main site, the boards, and chat all need separate accounts. You can use the same log in details but you do have to register separately on each. It’s a bit dumb, but it’s always been this way. The boards are ran by a platform called vanilla, so your account isn’t actually with the mix it’s with vanilla. Same with chatwee, chat is on chatwee so your account is with chatwee, not the mix if that Ames any sense at all.
