i have made a couple of screen names in the past but now when I try to make more it always says “Sorry, were not able to register you right now. Please try again later.”
well, I guess my first suggestion would be to “Please try again later.”
Some other things to try… if waiting doesn’t work :p
Try registering under a different e-mail. It will usually only let you make 2 sn’s from one particular email a day, from what I’ve experienced.
Try restarting your computer, or signing offline (If you have dial-up). That has (almost) always worked for me.
i change my email and I also TRY AGAIN LATER
did you look at kai wrens post? he has some help for you to….and I think aim doesnt let you make alot of sn’s because they might think there auto screen name makers or what ever they call them…so if you keep clicking the “Register” button then you will have to wait about a day or so
kai wren said that you should restart you computer or go offline if your on dial up (if your on a modem try turning it on and off) did you try those to?
It recognizes your IP address everytime you try to make an sn and when it sees you have made 5 or 6 within a short period its going to stop you. So if you do have dial-up sign off then back on. You will have a brand new IP address and it should work fine.
I believe a cookie is placed in your temporary internet files, along with the IP thing.
To solve the cookie problem clear your temporary internet files
To solve the IP problem use a proxy, You will still have a limit on each proxy though.
