OK, I just got through the registration process... who designed it, the FBI? :)
I've never seen such a tough registration process. Not only did I need to know the color of the sky, but I had to multiply a two digit number! Most forums ask me to add something like 4+3... but I got asked to MULTIPLY 47x2. I'm embarrassed to say I got it wrong the first time :) but fortunately I got a second chance. Anyway, what a registration process! Not that I mind, just thought I'd mention it. ;)

Writing code is easy, fixing it is harder.

sadly as automated spambots improve the registration process has to become more complex to combat them so expect to see even more security checks in years to come

hi paradox,
no problem. I understand why and don't mind. I was just laughing at myself that I couldn't multiply two numbers together.
I also laughed at the question about the sky color because we've been stuck with fog the last week and it's tough to remember what color the sky is. :)

Funny thing is that I had trouble to completing the registration process. First i got the spam bot image wrong and also had a couple of issues with the password not being in the correct format. For future reference it might be wise to put the requirements needed next to the password box during the sign up process.
