Q:I’ve joined the competition, but haven’t received an email.
A:This is most likely because of one of two things.
1. When you joined the competition you were asked for your email address so what we could email you an initial password. If you haven’t received the email, it’s most likely you typed your email address incorrectly. Join again and be very careful with your typing! Don’t worry if your name appears twice in the Competition Ladder – We’ll remove the incorrect one within a couple of weeks.
2. Your email server could be having a bad day. We send the email as soon as you join, but sometimes there can be a (lengthy) delay before an email is delivered.

Q:I’ve forgotten my password? Help!
A:1. Click “Login” on the Home page.
2. Click on “Forgotten your Password?” link halfway down the page.
3. You have two choices. If you have changed your password, we can show your prompt phrase to hopefully jog your memory. Otherwise we can email your password to you (but keep in mind that we'll send it to the email address that's in the database, so if that's incorrect you won't receive the email - see the question above).

Q:How do I change my password?

2. Click on the change password link at the top of the page.
3. Enter your old and new password and an optional prompt phrase in case of forgetfulness.
