Cant register new members

Hi not sure were to post this but I really need help. When someone tries to register at my forum it says email not valid. I have all the right boxes checked but still cant get any new members. I have even tried to register under different names and they allow it but only with my Admin password. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you

I registered successfully and logged in successfully on your forum. Try it yourself.

many thanks ! I have asked the person what message they got when they tried to join, as soon as they let me know I will post it here, but if you can get on there must be no issue ! Unless .. will it accept any type of e mail address to register or are there some restrictions?

Many thanks

If the user is getting this email is not valid. You can't use it. There are some emails like admin@ infor@ Spam@ etc... that are blocked. Use another email like @gmail or @yahoo and you should be fine.

hi..i have the same problem. new members can't register on the forum i created. when someone trying to register there is a message saying that "the administrators have forbidden any new members. here's my forum link aliens.forumtwilight.com
