Dear all,

I keep getting this message when trying to register, is there anything to do with the fact that we are already registered and need to register?

Thank you!

Dear Ranieli,

It seems that you have corrected the problematic responses that triggered the earlier validation failure. I now see success (log below).

I do not know why you couldn't get the confirmation key to work the second time, I hope that was a transient error. The OAI website no longer supports registration so that is not the issue.

Cheers,

Simeon
