Title: Problems with registering/reactivating an account
Post by blahperson15 on 01/31/12 at 14:20:30

Hi, my friend is having some problems with making a new account or getting the forgotten password for his old one:

"1. The reset password link doesn't open
2. When I try to register again, it says the verification code has invalid characters when it clearly doesn't

Also, the error when I try to register says "Error: Verification code contains invalid characters. Only a-z and 0-9 are valid""

What can be done to avoid this?

Hi Ownage.

EDIT:
Can you make a new account, or is it just him?

What account name is he attempting to register?

I've had a number of people complaining about this problem, and it turns out that it isn't the captcha they're getting wrong, but the new math question that was added. A lot of people are putting in 0 as the answer. This error comes up when you get it wrong.

Could explain why there is literally no new community members whatsoever for MK7, while Mkwii brought in a boatload.  Especially with the younger crowd, the maths question is a dumb thing to add.  Silly Penev.

What is the math question exactly ? Anything that will keep dumb people away is a plus [smiley=lolk.gif]

to keep the karter community sharp, a 2nd grade math proficiency is required to join the boards.

You should replace the maths question with a MK-related question.

Loool.
Probably should've elaborated my actual point that it seems silly to have an ambiguous maths question where two different answers can be argued..

Would explain the few takers in the math topic, they are unable to post.

As said in Ownage's first post, the reset password link doesn't work
