Could somebody please point me in the right direction as to how to only let members register using their ISP email address only??

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks alot Noodles

What's the point? You can sign up for a free AOL email account (and many other ISPs allow you free email accounts without having them as your ISP).

That is not an answer, i asked, how do i do it? Not, do you think it is worth doing...

I answered you, if all email addresses are free, then the only way you can stop people from registering with them, is disable registration completely no? Unless I'm misreading which isn't too obvious from what you've said.

Or are you just asking if you can disallow specific email address hosts? Still see no point in it since as said you can use almost any ISP and get a free email without using them as your ISP, but whatever tickles your fancy

Ok well that helps,

Now can anyone please give me the direction i need???

As i am not asking for opinions, or what i think you should do, just a bit of pointing in the right direction would go down a treat...

umm because you want to disallow free emails being used, and ALL ISP EMAILS ARE FREE, I dunno how else to spell it out to you, I've told you 3 times, perhaps you'll get it this time.

Ok, so what you are saying is all ISP will give free email addresses to just anyone?

Are you trying to somehow validate your original question by showing me one single (very crappy might I add) ISP that doesn't offer a free email services out of about another possible what 500 major worldwise ISPs that do? Are you simple?

The point I made is that allowing ISP only emails isn't going to stop FREE EMAIL ACCOUNTS being used which was your original idea, because most are FREE, do you understand or is it way over your head still?

Oh don't tell me, you wanna block anyone from registering any other email other than tiscali? Give me a break.

Lemmie break it down for you, and you should understand:

So you block yahoo, gmail, msn, hotmail and a load of other non ISP emails right?
so I create a free AOL email (or one of the other major ISPs that allow free emails) and then still register on your forums making what you just did completely pointless because I just registered with an email that is FREE and not my ISP, which is what you wanted to prevent...

Do you understand yet that it's not possible? I can't spell it out clearer than that.

Do you have issues? I am thinking so, as you still havent answered the simple question asked...
Not simple, just simply amused at how you have explained yourself in this topic, do you always treat people with so much disrespect as this?
Or maybe just born with one of them big IAM ego's?

Who know's, but remember this, i asked a question, of which iwas looking for a simple answer, and you still havent came across with telling me how to do what i asked... Go dictate to someone who cares about what your saying, afterall i did ask you not to reply as i did'nt like your attitude in the 1st place..

please don't bother replying with your egotystical attitude again as it will go right in one eye and out the other...

P.s Take a chill pill...

I also noticed your other posts, same attitude...

You cant do that.You need to google up the search of medium expectriates to develop the functionalities for that or else yahoo search would be interastic democraty.But dont be rist, you will find your answer after pilapilating on the firous angy of supporters

Let's get this right, first off my attitude in another thread has nothing to do with you or this thread at all.

Try reading your first reply to me, I asked a question as to the point of disallowing free emails because almost all ISPs allow free emails, and you were rude to me, so get it right.

Furthermore I have answered your initial question about 8 times now, yet you still cannot fathom it, is it my fault you are incapable of simple brain functions like reading?

you spelled democracy wrong

You spelled "egotistical" and "didn't" incorrectly, but what is this an English lesson?
