  Hi. I’ve deleted an address to start over and now that I want to use the address again it says ‘Sorry, that site has already been used!’ Does it mean you can never use a deleted address again? Doesn’t it go back into the pool of available names?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  You are receiving that message because you have deleted your address, which makes it become unavailable for future use. The only exception is for those deleted two or more years ago that do not have username or other technical conflicts.

  You will need to choose something other than the one you have previously deleted.
