One Major Complaint Concering Sign Up

[Innos]

Okay, so I've been reading the forums for some time and finally decided to register.
To my surprise you do not allow email adresses that has periods (.) before the @.

It just said the email adress was invalid. When I removed the period it was fine.
I then preceeded to sign up with a disposable email and was planning to change it afterwards, but the latter was not possible.
It said that particular email was already in your records, even though I know for sure that I haven't been using that one to sign up at this particular forum (simply because it won't let me).

I can't see any justification for this restriction, and I'd like it if an admin would contact me to have my email changed properly, if possible.

Other than that this is a great forum, and you're probably going to prove that the extra time it took me to register was well worth it. =) Edited July 17, 2009 by Innos
