please make an easier registration form
1) my username was rejected because it didn't conform to the rules
but the rules were unstated so I tried many times before I got a valid username which made the other points more difficult
not helped bu the fact that google-autofill tried to fill in my email address
2) check the username without requiring all the other fields to be input or offer an example that is close to what I had typed.
3) make it clear whether the image letters are case sentitive and if they are then don't use letters which are ambiguous like cC and sS or accept either obviously Dd are easily distinguished
4) if a form is rejected for one reason then don't reset the fields that were ok (passwords and timezone) you are already checking against robot/screenscraper entries with the image text
:angry:
