Separate "SonomaKey" registration required for Forum?

[forneau]

I registered at the Online Store, but my user name and password that I set there is rejected when trying to login to this forum. Had to set up a separate account for the Forum.

Is that the way this is supposed to work, or am I missing something fundamental?

==============================
SONOMA KEY:
The username and password you created when you registered is what we
call your "SonomaKey" because it is your key to all Sonoma Wire Works
services.

ONLINE SERVICES:
No matter what edition of RiffWorks you own, use your SonomaKey to
login to the Forums, the store, and the following services....

We're checking into this for you. Our forums went down for a bit this morning due to heavy traffic. We've fixed it, and will look into your issue.

Thanks,
Michelle

Something a weany bit strange is goin on with Sonoma keys, I finished up with 2, Wedgebill and wedgebill, same apart from capital first letter. It's making all sorts of funny stuff happen with Riffworks and Rifflink for me. The people at Sonoma are the most user friendly bunch I've come across on the net so I don't doubt they'll sort everything for everyone as soon as humanly possible.
