[SOLVED] IRC troubles - please help a stuuupid soul

Kind of embarrassing, but here goes:

I posted something on IRC archlinux and was told to register. I did and received an email back stating

In order to complete your registration, you must send the following command on IRC:
/msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER xxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Whenever I do that #archlinux tells me:

[Notice] -NickServ- Please log in before attempting to verify your registration.

But how the @!#* do I login??? The wiki is not forthcoming with info either...

If this is some intelligence test I've failed big time. Gissa a hand and help me out, please!

Do that on your #freenode window, not the #archlinux one - you are registering for freenode.

Cheers, I was doing it on #archlinux. So I closed konversation, started over and tried again on the freenode tab:

[10:40] [Notice] -NickServ- This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>.
[10:40] [nickserv] identify xxxxxxxxxxxx
[10:40] [Notice] -NickServ- You are now identified for _toad_.
[10:40] [NickServ] VERIFY REGISTER toad xxxxxxxxxxx
[10:40] [Notice] -NickServ- Please log in before attempting to verify your registration.

_toad_ and toad is obviously not the same

Shame you edited your post as I welcome any serious mockery!

But toad was already taken and since konversation quite freely changes login names by adding underscores apparently at will I didn't think it mattered. So there.

Alright, I reckon I'll just try again and see what happens. Perhaps ircidiot would be a more apt name...

Ta Mr.Elendig!

The edit was to remove a typo.
Anyway, since toad was taken, you can not try to confirm that nick.

/msg nickserv identify *******
/msg nickserv verify register ******** (or verify register _toad_ ********)
and _not_ /msg nickserv verify register toad ********

Too late, damage has been done and I am thoroughly confused and better check the logs...

[Wed Feb 25 2009] [21:52:28] <NickServ>    REGISTER password email
[Wed Feb 25 2009] [21:52:30] Notice    -NickServ- toad__ is already registered.
[Wed Feb 25 2009] [21:54:54] <NickServ>    REGISTER password email
[Wed Feb 25 2009] [21:54:57] Notice    -NickServ- _toad_ is now registered to xxx, with the password xxx.
[Wed Feb 25 2009] [21:54:57] Notice    -NickServ- An email containing nickname activation instructions has been sent to xxxxxx.
[Wed Feb 25 2009] [21:54:57] Notice    -NickServ- If you do not complete registration within one day, your nickname will expire.
[Wed Feb 25 2009] [21:54:57] Notice    -NickServ- _toad_ is now registered to xxxx, with the password xxxx.
[Wed Feb 25 2009] [21:54:57] Notice    -NickServ-

So why does the email then give me a different nick?

SUCCESS!!! I just copied and pasted the command in the email. Mistake. toad was underlined

Sorry to take up bandwidth with this one, will mark it as solved and many thanks!
