Question

Why do I have to register every day? Every time a register my username will be deleted on the next day. Is there any special reason for this?

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Sounds like you might have a cron job deleting something overnight. Assuming you are using htpasswd authentication, and you register as "Newuser", then the following files need to be modified during registration, and must still be changed the morning after.

data/.htpasswd
data/Main/NewUser
data/Main/TWikiUsers

Please review the notes in the TWikiRegistration topic. In particualr, "TWiki.org has a friendly community where people know each other by their real name. We encourage to use your real 'First Last' name, also for your WikiName". "Please do not register with bogus or incomplete names, they will be removed without notice." If you prefer not to do that you are invited to continue using the guest account.

In your particular case I sent you a personal e-mail on 04 Aug 2006 to please register with the real name, and resent it on 07 Aug 2006, but did not get any reply. Please reply or send me an e-mail if you have any questions.
