??.com referrer??
 
:shrug:
Hi...Does anyone know why I need a"referrer" to register for>>.com<<??.
When filling in the registration form you/I have to give the name of the person that referred you/I to the site...It is no good trying to put in any old name cos it comes back"name not found".."proper" answers appreciated!!...and I do have a good reason to register!!! :shrug:

Aww what a shame that we've come to the bottom of it - I was looking forward to another thread going on about how it must be a conspiracy on NTL's part to see who talks to who etc :D

Well, it's an NTL site, so my best guess is it's 'coming soon'. ;)

Hi Tabatha,

Doesn't usually take too long - bear with the mods. They all have full time jobs apart from the site but I'm sure they'll get to your registration as soon as they can. :)

PS - To all those who keep on churning out the same joke... 'coming soon' is so passe now... :rolleyes:

Uhm this isn't a support forum for dotcom, sorry. E-mail ashley.grossman@ntl.com - I'm sure he'll be able to help you.
