Registering

I looked at something like 12 different solutions for making my own social network site - had i registered with all of them I would have had an inbox the size of ireland. So I didn't register until after i had installed the script - or at least I didnt try to - It took me ages to register.

firstly it was never clear whether registering at unity was what was needed to get a licence code, and as I had already downloaded the script i could not find the 'register and get a licence' that pops up on the download page.

Of course I found it eventually.

but it didn't work

The form insists on a postcode - and it didn't like mine for some reason. this is fairly familiar with US sites that only know of zip codes - but I figured that Boonex was australian, they must be a bit more worldly.

So I found the postcode of a bar in Brisbane and used that - no go.

Next a zip code from a Dallas (texas) print shop - nope

starting to get irritated i thought I'd look through the forums for an answer - you can only search if you are regstered.

I sent a feedback email.

it was a sunday and i new id better not hold my breath - so i decided to try a few variants - figuring that there may actually be a geographic identifier used i returned to my real postcode and deleted half of it.

IT WORKED....

So all UK unregisterables - dont believe the warning that a full postcode is required - what boonex means is that a half postcode is required (just the town part not the local street/area part.
