Trouble to get registered

[dirk]

Ok, I am in now, but I had "a problem" with the password. If you do not enter a strong enough password (ie don't use Capitals, &^$# or something like that, the system refuses you entry without a warning. But I am in so no biggy now ...

Yeh I got that too . I think mine was bloody old age creeping up from behind me.

I had to re-register under different email address. My original account and post have been deleted or lost. WTF

 

[JeffJ]

I had to check my junk folder to confirm registration

Me too, original registration disappeared, including a query I wrote (12 Sept). As previous member WTF.

The registration system has had some tweaks recently, so it should be easier for legit signups to work.

"Legit signups"? Please explain.

All forums get bombarded by bot signups etc trying to get an account and spam the hell out of things.

How does this relate to my case or that of WTFdude? We were legit members who had their accounts 'vanish'. I for one am not a bot nor am I am spammer. If you intent to moderate this site please keep to the point.
The question you need to answer is where did our original accounts, and any chats, disappear to?

Sorry mate but this is a free community forum supported by Will at his own expense. There is no suggestion that we are all experts in moderating the forum, mistakes can happen. I don't know the specifics of what you are asking. I thought I was doing people a favour by attempting to inform them of why there had been difficulty signing up. I can see that was itself a mistake, one that I won't be repeating.

Thanks gnubie. Appreciate the response. Fully aware of history re Will. You're doing it again! Telling members what they haven't asked for and wasting their time. A little patronising maybe! Do yourself a favour (english spelling) if you intend to act as Moderator. Stick to the topic. Don't pontificate. Answer the question!!!!!!! "Where did our original accounts disappear to?". If you don't know, then don't moderate the query. Simple. Glad you've decided to take this as a learning experience. I applaud you. Have a good day.

Finally! We have an amazing forum on our OWN server. Click here for migration instructions

I hate doing this, but I had to change our forums server. We must ALL create a new profile. I tried to migrate from the old server but it would not work! It was a different type of database. I paid a lot of money for this new system and it will NEVER change. We will be set for years and it will...
