General FAQ about the forum and Navigation within the "HOMM3 Online Tournaments" section.

Registration Issues:

FAQ3. How do I choose a suitable nickname? Everything I try is already taken...

Try using the user search system. At the top of each forum page, there is a link - Users; when you click on it, you can see a link in the upper right corner of the page - User Search. Enter the nickname under which you would like to register, and the system will show you registered users with similar nicknames. It will be easier for you to choose a unique name. In addition to numbers, Latin and Cyrillic letters, the following symbols are allowed: =, @, #, & and others.

FAQ4. I registered on the forum, but I did not receive the promised email with instructions on how to activate my account. What should I do?

Write a message in the topic "Account Activation Requests". Only users waiting for confirmation of activation via e-mail can leave a message here.

Account Issues:

FAQ5. I want to change my nickname because I don't like it / I'm tired of it / there is confusion / it's unreadable... etc.
What needs to be done and what shouldn't be done?

The most important thing: do not register a second account; this is prohibited by the HW rules. To change your nickname, write a message in the topic "Changing Nickname on HW", and after some time you will succeed.
Don't forget to inform the tournament and season leaders, as well as your opponents, about the name change afterward. Try not to abuse the opportunity to change your nickname. Remember that it is not the name that adorns a person.

FAQ6. I forgot my nickname, forgot the password for my account, and the email address used for registration no longer exists.
What should be done and what shouldn't be done?

Anything can happen. Again, do not register a second account.

You may be able to remember your nickname by using the User Search system (see FAQ2). If you have forgotten your account password, use the password recovery system. To do this, click on the "Forgot Password?" link on any page requesting a password. You will be taken to a page where you need to enter the e-mail address that you specified when registering. The system will immediately send you an email with instructions on how to reset your password. It is worse if the email address no longer exists. In this case, you must contact the forum administration (see FAQ1).

If you still registered a clone to access the forum, be sure to contact the administrators and inform them about it. In such cases, accounts can be merged. Do not wait until cloning is detected; registering two accounts is prohibited, and you may receive 50 violation points.
