I have a friend who had been trying to join, but she has said once she chooses the option to agree to the terms and conditions that a database error page comes up and it will not let her register!
I noticed this too when I was trying to register last week - my problem was that I already had an account, d'oh! Not sure if that had anything to do with it though.
He is downloading the database to try to upgrade the forum tonight anyhow and thinks that when the spam filter was edited it affected the registration.
This upgrade should fix everything -- at least everything we know about. He's going to shut the site down for an hour or so during the process to eliminate problems of activity messing up the database during the process, so we will be down for what should hopefully be the last time for a long, long time.
Annnnnnnd, to add to this, I just banned you. I'm really, REALLY sorry. You got caught in my "spam cleanup" in the morning. Who'd have thought that a thread by "DoubleBlonde" with a title of "Autumn Girls" wasn't porn? :rofl1:
