Hi Hive account@ugetfunded Just to quickly outline the steps for Steemit.Chat a/c creation and use.

You need to use a separate account on chat. Use the same username as on Steemit.com but you have to create a new account there as Steemit.com and Steemit.Chat are not the same site.

If you already have a Chat account, create another using a fresh email and DM me once you get in and I'll get your original account up and running.

I hope this helps.
