:3. We are currently experiencing some technical issues and this is affecting the registration process. If you do not receive this email within 24 hours, please check your spam/junk mail. If the email is not there, please re-register using another email account and user name. This problem seems to be linked to institutional emails so if you have a generic email (e.g. gmail, hotmail, yahoo), please try this instead.

We manually scrutinise every registration in order to ensure that we only let in approved users, so it sometimes '''takes up to 48 hours''' to get to your registration.  If it's been less than 48 hours please be patient for a while longer, if it's been longer than this and you still haven't received a password then please do email us at wikimaster@wikivet.net to prod us into action!
