I encounter "Error Code: 31".
Does it work?
MysteriusNov 7th 2007 1:15AM
Got it!
The direct link didn't do it, but going thru the Hotmail sign up page (clicking the "Get it free" button) as Naverous recommended did.

I got mine this afternoon.
I got 2 accounts! Both were luckily free. And just right.
@live.com sounds so much better than @gmail.com, or @yahoo.com, who both have an extra letter each.
I'm happy to get these accounts. I've been waiting for a long time.
AlexNov 7th 2007 1:47AM
It worked for me!!
I got 5 accounts.
I wonder who got DownloadSquad@live.com
Marc SavoyNov 7th 2007 8:14AM
The reason why you're all getting error messages is no doubt because you using firefox to sign up at live.com . As a rule if I want to update or download any Microsoft product I'll close down firefox and use IE 7.
Even using the firefox IE extension is not always a guarantee of success. Any of you who've received the error message may want to try this suggestion which I'm quite certain will resolve any error rmessages.
I myself emailed the live.com link to my gmail account downloaded the link in gmail via IE 7 without a hitch which I'm certain will work for all of you.

@Marc Savoy: Actually, I got my first live account on Firefox, and tested the process on Opera, too (which was successful). So this doesn't require IE.

:( it's gone . no more @live.com only @hotmail.com
Dave ForsterNov 7th 2007 8:44AM
I've just signed up for multiple accounts (for the family) on .co.uk
I even got my 4 year old son one... how sad is that!? (he'll thank me when he's old i'm sure)
tried to do the same for live.com but it's not available anymore - just hotmail.com

This alternative link works at of 10:08EST... I just grabbed a bunch of them, to protect my firstname.lastname@domain.com naming convention.

I am also getting Error 31 when trying to sign up.. despite the fact that it says my name@live.com is available.
DectusNov 7th 2007 11:33AM
just try the link again and again, I got 3 accounts (1 second ago and the other 2, a few hours ago)
iamhoffNov 7th 2007 1:14PM
couldn't get @live.com. Only gave me @hotmail.com as an option. Meh.
iamhoffNov 7th 2007 2:16PM
I'm getting the @live.com option now, but I'm still getting the "error code 31" message. Repeating meh.
Bryan PriceNov 7th 2007 10:53PM
Naverous has your solution if you are getting an error. It worked for me. So I got the one I wanted. I may get another.
Bryan PriceNov 7th 2007 10:57PM
OK, I grabbed my name as well as my handle. I'm a happy person now. I probably should link them one of these days.
