    Hi. I am trying to set up my forum but it says the name is taken ( yet when I search the name on google it says it doesn't exist) and it also says my email address is already in use. I've tried several times and wonder if the first attempt registered somehow (hence the forum name coming up as taken). I can't find an admin contact and can't PM an admin as I have to post first. Stumped and would appreciate advice!

    Hello @JRP,

    There is no need to send a private message to anyone unless you are told so.
    You will have to wait for an answer from someone who can solve your issue.

    Just the urls will work, Email address will get edited by moderators.


    Please note that if the url is in all caps it may appear as taken try it in lowercase first.
    So one else had this issue and putting it in lowercase helped fix it for them.

    I meant the email by pm of course Very Happy. I would never recommend someone publicly post their email address.
