| When attempting to register I had to use an alternate email because it would not accept my email address.
My address is tharius@realmsofdespair.info
I suppose it's tripping over the 4 letter tld?
Cheers and thanks | | Top |

| | Registration should never validate email addresses. Send a sign-up email and require the user to click an expiring link in the email. That's the only perfect validation. |

| Yes, I think I fixed it. Try again.
@Fiendish: That is preliminary validation. Then it sends you a confirmation email. |

Just send an email to whatever they enter without validation. The email either goes through or it doesn't. If it doesn't go through then the user did not give a real email address and they won't be able to confirm creation. |
