Just a quick issue to make you aware of. If you enter a username that is taken at registration, you get a "Registration error" message that gives no indication as to why it failed. Figured it out through trial and error, but I would recommend a more useful error message as many people would have given up by the time I got registered.

On a related note, there does not appear to be a central email address advertised anywhere. This means that you can't contact anyone for assistance when you get a registration error. Suggest either an email address on the page, or possible a forum where guests can post, but where threads are only visible to the person who posted them and to mods - this lets guests post for assistance without opening the forum up to spam.

THANK YOU! I've been pulling my hair out trying to register! Lol! Ive given up several times & was about to give up for good then i saw your post. I'm so glad you posted this as I really wanted to join this forum as it has a jolly bunch of nice chappies on it! Haha!

There is no way to contact any forum mods for help if you have registration problems so many may have given up trying.

Anyway, thanks again. Cheers Thumbs Up

The last post was made 12 years, 74 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
