Date: June 30, 2006, 6:54 p.m.Hey, thanks for bringing this to my attention, I will check out the bug later on, but it looks like I already see where the problem lies...
There is a piece of code (program) that checks if the email is a valid email address, so people don't put in bogus text that isn't a proper email address in this field. The code makes several checks to see if the address is valid.
I checked out your email address against these checks, and can see the problem. The email address starts with a capital U... On the Internet, email addresses are always in lower case. Hotmail actually allows you to create an account with capitals in it, but it really converts it all to lower case anyway. So your email address actually just contains lower case letters only.
For now, you can fill in your profile if you convert your email address all to lower case, but I will fix it later on tonight anyway. I will place another post under this thread, when the bug is fixed, thanks.

Date: June 30, 2006, 8:09 p.m.Hey man, not to worry, it allows me fix a bug in the site that I wouldn't even know about otherwise.
I guess services like Hotmail should really let the user know at the time they create their accounts.
Passwords are usually case sensitive however, same goes for the Ynui site, if you have a mixture of lower case and upper case letters in your password, it must be typed exactly like that.
Anyways, still haven't fixed the issue just yet, been feeling a bit sick today :-(. but I will fix it off course.
