> I have set the email on the account wjwlsn to the one you're using here, and 
sent a password reset email. So you should be able to log in. I also had to 
change the email on wjwlsn_94460 because you can't have two accounts with the 
same email. I set it up so accounts are created from usenet postings but with 
the account email blank. This is just to stop random usenet posters getting 
spam emails if people used the contact form on squte or reset their password, 
but I might have to rethink that if enough people want to 'claim' their 
userid. In theory it updates the UI once an hour from usenet, but sometimes 
there are problems with the script and I have to restart it. regards ~TDK 

Awesome, thank you much. I was able to get it set up the way I want it. Now 
I'm posting this from s'qute. I do have one suggestion... the post voting 
buttons are pretty small, and in a slightly awkward spot. This is probably 
fine when using a mouse, but I'm quite frequently using a big fat thumb on a 
touchscreen interface; this is problematic. Would it be much trouble to make 
the buttons bigger, separate them from each other a little bit, and move them 
away from the original poster's userid? 

Also, I have a feeling that more than enough people will want to claim their 
userids, so an easier way for users to do it themselves will probably save you 
a lot of effort in the long run.
