Not sure how Amazon works, cause I haven't been using them. But here is a shot in the dark. Do you have to confirm something when ordering from them? And the only way to do that is by clicking on a link provided in a mail they send you (something I've often seen when registering my details on websites)? And because they read it as minimum.com instead of mini-mum.com, you never get the e-mail? | ||

Is it anything about the ordering process that is relevant? Is it ONLY the word mini-mum/minimum that is relevant? So that mini-mum.net or mini-mum.co.uk would give the same error? | ||

Just totally puzzled about how you know is the e-mail address if you never get any errormessages, lol When you try to log in, you enter your e-mail address right? Then your password? And then you click 'sign in using our secure server'? Are you then simply back on the log in page? with no codes or explanations? | ||

Lynne, can you please clarify a confusing point? When I asked 'when you try to log in', you replied that you are not allowed to do that. but you answered Baling 'I can log in if I like, I'm just not allowed to purchase anything'???? What I was looking for was the following. When you are on the Amazon page, you click on the Sign In button. Then you are asked to enter your e-mail address and password, and then click Sign in using our secure server' to log on. Are you not even allowed to click the Sign in-button? Is there anything relevant about your computer? keyboard? mouse? keyboard settings? | ||

When I asked 'when you try to log in', you replied that you are not allowed to do that. but you answered Baling 'I can log in if I like, I'm just not allowed to purchase anything'???? Fair point - this is actually fictional and very silly, but based on something I see that 'forbids' me to order. At first I maintained the fiction, then I repeatedly said this is Silly, and am now trying to help by letting it be known that it is not literal What I was looking for was the following. When you are on the Amazon page, you click on the Sign In button. Then you are asked to enter your e-mail address and password, and then click Sign in using our secure server' to log on. Are you not even allowed to click the Sign in-button? Is there anything relevant about your computer? keyboard? mouse? keyboard settings? So based on what I've just said, none of those questions can really have a yes or no answer without causing further confusion. The only thing that is relevant is the fact that I am known as MiniMum, or minimum, or mini-mum (the three are interchangeable) | ||

Forehead slap!!!! Can't believe we didn't get that. This is one of the few puzzles I've seen where I was so stumped I could not think of a single question to ask and yet the solution is mind blowingly simple. Major kudo's Lynne.

A model Major indeed, except I wager that he's Major Kudo with the apostrophe in the Forum - in which case he's a rogue and a cad. |
