Thanks, for the good answer but I am a little newbi so it did not make me
understand what could be wrong, that has nothing to do with your good answer
but my knowledge is not that big regarding this things.

should I look for some code or why is this error happend? I have now seen
the same error message comming up with some other username allso, and when
looking into this user evrything looked straight forward (no redirect or out
of quota).
