Unable to register a new user.

A mate has tried to register an account, and I tried for him too and haven't been able to. Keeps getting this message..... "There is suspicious activity detected on your network....."

Tried on mobile and PC.

Any info on how he might be able to get past it, or something else to try?

Try to act less suspiciously?

This is the actual message.

"Error: We detect suspicious activity from your network; to complete this action, please contact the webmaster"

Is he trying to do it via the Facebook connect function? If so, don't link it to that, we've had some issues with that lately.

Nope. We've both tried on pc and mobile. Keep getting that same message each time.

Delete your web history? You know its bad when even the internets finds it suspicous.

But seriously try deleting your history.

Tried all that, on multiple devices.... no joy.

What is the username he's trying to register please? I'll see if I can hack the central mainframe and make it work.

Cheers. Was meaning to do it, but got sidetracked. :whistle:

It's a bit of a double edged sword at the moment. On one hand spam is down on the other we have no new user registrations. Our antispam software has gone all ninja on us without any logging!

I'll sort it out one way or another. Apologies for the inconvenience. Go clean your bike again....

I had this issue for over a week, tried from multiple different computer-majigs, ended up working when I used the FB link for signup...

+1 on the Facebook registration. Had been trying unsuccessfully via the 'traditional' site registration method for 4-6 weeks now, and by freak chance tried the FB option last night, and **BOOM** success.

Additionally, that same error message is being generated when trying to message the admins even when logged in via FB logon.

I just spent some time on the registration page now. I've changed the image verification. It's difficult but hopefully not impossible

Is it spambot proof? I saw some fresh spam the other day and assumed the rego was fixed.
