I fill in the registration form, and it comes with an error that says: "The string you entered for the image verification did not match what was displayed."

The Purple Board should be ok. If any issues, try a direct contact with the administrators. Hope you get it sorted out. There seems to be a ton of good solid aviation people migrating to these two forums from Usenet. The posts are "refreshing" to say the least. The atmosphere is great and believe it or not, nobody seems inclined to discuss anything "unfriendly" :-)) -- Dudley Henriques |

Funny thing is, when I went to the "Contact Us" page, to send them a message about it, it did display a verification image, and I entered it in the field, and it sent the message no problems. Just don't see a verification thing on the registration page. -- Crash Lander Some people say I suffer from A.D.D. but they.... OH look!! A chicken!! http://www.straightandleveldownunder.net |
