The subject says it all. When I go to register her, it says I’m already registered under Origato. Duh, I know that. But there is no option for an additional name.
BTW, she just attended her first DopeFest (mine too, HouDope 2001 #1, great time) with me and wants into the action 😉 I guess.

On the main page ( [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/) ) in the lower left hand corner (under the list of mods) there is a link that says “log out.” That will clear the cookie and allow a new user to log in.
In the future, whenever either or you uses the SDMB, make sure that you log out so that the other can log in afterwards.
