Telnet - Local Echo : The two most common problems with Telnet programs is not seeing what you're typing and not being able to erase. To fix the first (in Windows telnet), go to the Terminal menu, choose Preferences, and check the box next to Local Echo. In other clients you still need to turn Local Echo on, but the location for this may be different. If you can't find it, look in the help for Local Echo.

Telnet - Backspace : When using telnet, your backspace key may not work correctly (Often it will result in "^H" or "^?" appearing on the screen). If this is the case, you'll need to experiment with the backspace and delete settings to see what works. Try searching the help for "backspace" or "delete" for information on how to change these settings.

If you are using UNIX, read "man stty" or ask your system administrator for help with this problem.

Blacklisted Sites : If you either get a message which says something like "This site has been banned due to continued abuse" or "guest characters are not allowed from your site", and you haven't been kicked off of Ansible in the past, you will need to email wizards@ansiblemoo.org in order to gain access. We apologize for the inconvenience, but some people feel the need to convince us of their immaturity, and this is about the only thing we can do about it.

Deleted Characters : Characters on Ansible may be deleted after a period of extended inactivity. So if you have not connected in a while and you find you can no longer log on, you may need to create a new character.

If you previously had another character on Ansible which was deleted, and the registration process tells you that you appear to already have a character on Ansible, email wizards@ansiblemoo.org and tell us your preferred email address, and a name, description and gender for your character. We'll create the character for you.
