Registration troubleshooting
In the event you have issues registering via Twitter, check out some of these tried and tested troubleshooting tips:
- Make sure you use your Twitter handle (the thing that starts with @) and not the display name.
- It is case sensitive so copy it exactly.
- Give it a while before tweeting again to avoid problems with Twitter's anti-bot / anti-spam algorithms.
- You can try to reply to our tweet with your message rather then post it.
