What's the difference between "Sign Up," "Activation" and "Registration"?

My signup activation/password reset/email address change email is taking a while to arrive. What's happening?

The most common cause is over-zealous settings on your email host's mail server/s. To speed up delivery, you may wish to add "swan.autons.net" to your mail server's white-list.

The email may also have been filtered to another folder, such as Junk Mail.

I get the error message: "Too many failed login attempts. Try again in a few hours." What can I do?

This is a security feature to stop bots gaining access by brute-force password guessing.

A human can try again earlier than that by using a different web browser. It might be wise to use the Password Reset feature first though.
