I have discovered that the account system on the site does not like the - character in usernames and you will not be able to log into the site if your username contains a -

the simple solution is to use a space or an underscore (_) instead of the -

I will be looking into this issue further and will be looking through the members system to see if anyone else is affected by this and will take the appriopiate action

so for now please do not use a - in your username here at the main site , as far as I know the forums are not affected by this issue

for anyone else having this issue(before I go through the members system) feel free to contact me with your username as I can re-enable access for you

Thanks to relaxedcandy who brought this issue to my attention
