Cannot register account

[xeroc]

So I could just create a new account without the "." and fund it from the other one and register it?

yep ..

Ok done problem solved.  Would be useful to have that subaccount info added to the delegate instructions in the wiki.

you are trying to register a "subaccount" for matt608 and obvisouly do not have the account loaded into the wallet

if you want to register "foo.bar" you're required to also have "bar" in the wallet

Ah I see so using a "." between the words has an actual purpose, its not just a convention.  I was just trying to create a new account and fund it from my other one, I didn't know anything about 'subaccounts'.  So I could just create a new account without the "." and fund it from the other one and register it?

Found this,

I'm trying to register a new account and have sent it 1BTS from myself but when I click "register account" and then click "ok" nothing happens, it wont register it.  The popup window just stays there.  I can close it by clicking cancel, but clicking "ok" does nothing. 

Can anyone help?
