I was trying to help my friend sign up for an account on MacNN yesterday. Filled in all the needed information and when he hit submit it gave him an of:

"The following errors occurred during your registration:

* The string you entered for the image verification did not match what was displayed."

Just one problem.... it DOESN'T EVEN GIVE YOU NO DAMN IMAGE VERIFICATION TO TRY TO MATCH.

Just FTI if you want to have any new members.

Na, I don't think I have made one in over a year at least.

Maybe they have registering new usernames under matching IPs blocked.

The hampstor is trying to prevent you from creating another account.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.
