Default Registration problems

Some folks are trying to register in here, and running into the same problem I had. it asks if x-42=0 then what is x? If you put in 42, it says it is the wrong number and wont let you in. These guys are running into this same problem,,,

What do they do now?

Wish I could help but I never had that problem. When I joined, it asked me how many flags were at the top of the screen. 5

Sorry you had trouble! I guess the admins want to make sure bots don't get in.

Anyway, welcome from the Heart of Dixie! Pull up a bowl of ice cream and join in the fun and mayhem!

I think they increased the entrance criteria after Jimboy got in and they realized what a Pandora's box they had opened.....Figured it was best to nip it in the bud and try to slow down the dumbing down of the forum before it mimicked our school systems....
