Sidhenearlahi Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I noticed that the last person to create an account on these forums did so a few days ago now. Which struck me as a little odd, considering up until that point we'd had a pretty steady rate of new accounts being made here. It was slowing down, but the complete stop seemed rather sudden.So, out of curiosity, I decided to try and make a new account yesterday. And after a solid hour of on and off attempts at creating the account, I got nowhere, as each time the security check CAPTCHA code I input was rejected. And these aren't complex codes, just three numbers. So I doubt I was making a mistake each and every attempt. I figured I'd give it a day, maybe CAPTCHA was just having an off day. Tried again today, still nothing.Not wanting to leave things incomplete, I also attempted to sign up using an audio code. Typed in each number I was given, tried it several times both yesterday, and today, and still no success.I figured this was something that might be in need of moderator attention.

Caretaker Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I'll take a look into this, the forums are configured out-of-the-box to use reCAPTCHA so those shouldn't be causing an issue.At least one person has reached out to me via PM on another site to bring this to my attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PheagleAdler Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Out of curiousity, is there a list of users somewhere that I've overlooked? I know FAF had one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedal Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 That would certainly explain the very steep drop-off in registrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuttButt Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 That seems like a pretty major bug man. I'm surprised no mods have replied yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuttButt Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Mods wouldn't be fixing this. That'd be on Carenath.aah okay. Well, I mostly just meant just addressing it anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maug Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 That could explain one reason why this place is barren as of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretaker Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Sincere apologies, the issue has been corrected now and new registrations should function as normal. A firewall rule was blocking ReCaptcha from connecting out to validate answers, this has been fixed and after testing I was able to register an account.
