Well, I may never hold second place in the competition, but at least I was the second to register for it. (Hey, ya gotta take your pleasure where you can when you’re a mediocre trader. ;)) ---

It’d be really cool to get a lot of players for this game. Just thought I’d say that. As a side benefit, this will put the thread back on the first page, which may help get players. I love it when a plan comes together. ---

registered okay, but can’t seem to join the comp. the page loads without any graphics and, all in all, pretty crumily ---

I’ve had troubles these last couple days, as well. Mostly with graphics on the VSE pages not coming in. Keep trying, a reload eventually seems to get it all up. When we played there for a couple of months recently, I never had this problem. So, I hope we can look forward to trouble-free times before the game actually starts up on Monday. ---

I’m in. **thinksnow** , remember that the competition password isn’t the same as your login password. The competition password is **ceciladams**. That was just one of many problems I had before I finally got it right. ---

I also had problems…for anyone else who is trying to join up but is having similar trouble: register first then go to[this page](http://www.virtualstockexchange.com/competitions/summary.htm?competition_id=SDMB-II) (it wouldn’t let me find it by searching for the name SDMB-II) The button you have to click to join is just above the word “Enter” in the line “Enter your competition commentary, including:” but my browser doesn’t seem keen to load the image. If you know where it is you can still click it though. good luck 🙂 ---

Has anyone been able to start trading this morning? All I get after I sign in is a blank page. By the way, for those of you reading this thread for the first time, you can join at any time, I believe. ---

I had to rejoin the competition. The system had me earning interest since I signed in before, so maybe it realized that I needed to be reset so all could start at the same level. Still won’t sell me any stock, unfortunately. Or maybe that’s fortunate. I’d just get myself in trouble if I started trading.
