New member registration disabled for now

Well I hate to say this but some spammers found a way 'round our security measures, attacking the boards in very clever ways. As a precaution, I had to switch off new member registrations for now.

Until we found a solution to this, only people YOU know may join the boards upon request.

Shame on those people. I don't understand people like that.

My cousin is going to start making customs & she wants to join to show her work & see mine. How can she join?

Thankx!!!

jazzy, send me a PM with her preferred email address and user name and I'll set up an account for her and email her the login details, she can then login and change her password

Hi Niki, welcome to RBF.

I had that kind of problem too long time ago, I think. Like trying to get registered on a message board. Have you got your problems fixed yet, SunSpire?

Don't have any simple way of solving this at present. I'll have to make up some time and look into installing more security features. But any such new feature will potentially make it more difficult for people to register. We'll see!
