Ok...we've obviously had some registration issues.  That's why I wanted to test! 

I disabled the picture matching...Mac's don't like them apparently...

I'm verifying good registrations vs. spam by checking on 3 things:  username, IP address & email address.  If any 1 of those 3 shows up in the forum spam database we're checking registration against, we reject the registration.

Looks like a couple are getting blocked this morning on Username & IP address.

I've turned that validation off, so we're only checking against email address now...MikeB & MarkS...love for you guys to let me know if you can get through now.

And thanks very much for testing!

I know right?  What browser did you use on your Mac Jason?  Both Jeff & I had issues with the picture matching in Safari on ours.

Still haven't heard if Jerry was able to get it yet either.

I've changed the default Theme to match the forum theme here, called 'Core'.

If you want to change theme's, just login in, Select 'Profile' -> 'Modify Profile' -> 'Look and Layout'

On Current Theme - Click on 'Change'.  You'll be presented with a number of different themes and can choose one to your liking.

Good.  Looks like your activation is complete.  Glad we have that figured out.

Just got back from Texas and tried for the first time last night.  
Received nothing but a blank page after clicking registration.
So far today, it's worked very smoothly (so far) ... waiting on my confirmation e-mail now.

Thanks for the efforts, Doran !


** edit **
Registration worked.  I've posted & embedded video.  Working well

Honestly...I really didn't expect the Mac's to struggle with the picture matching.  I wondered if the Spam registration filters weren't too aggressive when I set it up...but...had to try it!

Jerry, you need to sign up as a NEW user.

Doran, I used IE on a PC running windows 7. Have not tried it on safari yet. It does work nicely on my iphone though. I have not downloaded the app but if we go that route I think it would be nice as I check the site quite a bit from my phone.

I used Firefox 10.0.2 on a Vista machine. It took a few tries but it worked for me.

I just signed in as a new user.  It took a bit of time, but it seemed to work.  Got the confirmation e-mail instantly.

Brian - It looks like you signed up on the 'old' new SMF test site...I have 2 currently...one running SMF v1.1.16 (which I sent you a signon link to) and the new new one running SMF v2.0.2.  That is the one everyone's testing.

Use the link in the 1st post of this thread and register as a new user...see what you think of the registration process.

Jerry - No data has been migrated over.  Its only a test site, you'll need to register again.  When it comes time to upgrade the real site, you won't have to register, as we'll be upgrading existing users to the new software.  URL's won't change from where the real site is today either.

Chris - I see that you've registered...but not activated yet.  Have you received the confirmation email yet?

What 'took a few tries'?  Did the character string (captcha) verification trip you up?  It did to me...I use the link to 'get a new image' a couple times to get an image that was easier to read.

I don't have a Vista machine to test it on unfortunately.

Made it!  It took several tries to get the password to work and resetting the password once but ... all is good in the end!

I had difficulty with the captcha, too.  3 tries for me.  At least I spelled "pacific" right.

I am using my Mac (OS X Lion) with Safari 5.1.3.  My e-mail arrived within minutes.
