Thanks a million for the quick reply Ergo. Yep ... you are correct. I never saw it because I was launched into the forums by a link from Whirlpool, and I was looking for a Register link from inside, instead of from the Forum Index. I still don't know how I finally found the Registration console.
No problems regarding the query then. I was just worried that all the communications regarding it might be done from within the ticket rather than by e-mail. I shall just wait a day or so, and if I've heard nothing further, I'll post back here. Your help is truly appreciated. Highest regards, JackD.
