This is a plea for help from a very confused RhubarbCommando, whose leaves are gradually turning brown and whose stalk is withering (!)

I have recently acquired a bran new machine, which has been set up in my castle, in the turret room just above and to the left of the portcullis. The machine is connected to the telephonic system so thoughtfully invented by that nice Mr Bell. I can view AWAD, inter alia, and continue to derive much enjoyment from it.

Aye, but here's the rub. I cannot achieve a two-way communication with the board. Every time that I try to log in, using my accustomed password, the board refuses me entrance. How do other users who post from both home and work manage it?
Am I going to have to employ my immense vegetative skills as a Commando in order to force an entry? Perhaps, as in Bridge, I should try to force an entry with a spade? Maybe I should use my spades to form a bridge? As it is, I'm forked if I know what to do.

I have perfect confidence, however, that someone out there among my friends will know the answer.

with sorrow, your drooping, sugarless and custardless Rhub.

Hi RC,
My advice would be to use a second, different "handle" from your home, and log on afresh. The handle is certainly linked to the e-mail address, and if the two don't match, the system rejects you.

Rhuby,

I frequently log in from both home and work. I don't have my real email address as a "reply to", and I have cookies enabled on both machines. While I can't guarantee that either the email address or cookies are the problem, this may, I hope, help you.

Many thanks, friends - I will see whether my machine will, indeed, accept a bun in her oven. If not, perhaps IVF treatment would be the answer?

Since I fully expect to be up and running at home some sweet day I will note all these comments, but:

sugarless and custardless Rhub

Who would want to pollute the wonderful flavo(u)r of rhubarb with (yuck!) sugar?

If the Rhubarb don't get a sweetner, the Commando may come and do you harm!

Poor Rhub - and you might have expected a more regular connection!

Perhaps not, in view of the cost I've incurred!

You'll be running up a big phone bill, though...
