ok I already posted this on the job-related discussion board and got what I thought would be the info I needed but it's still not working so I thought I'd post again (and since it's not job-related I decided to put it on here).

So here's the problem- I want to post questions on the other country's forums (like Japan and Thailand) but it won't let me sign in with my username. I was told I needed to register separately on each country's forum. So I tried that- I wanted to use the same username and e-mail address though and it said I can't do that. Even if I create a new name, I don't have 2 more e-mail addresses to use!

Why is it like this- it seems much more complicated that it needs to be. Why can't I just have one name and e-mail address for the entire website? Exclamation Confused

I recently signed up to the China forum using the same user name and password.

OK I've figured it out!!!

You have one username for the Korea forum and another username which you can use on ALL the other countries' forums!

So, you might have BillyBob for Korea

and then SuzyQ on Thailand/Japan/France etc.

Get it?

I posted a thread with this question a few days ago and got nowhere. In the end I had to use a different name and password. There MUST be a way though cos there are people who appear on several forums, including this one, with the same name.
