Hey Admins,  please check out the signup process. People are trying to create an account here and getting errors. Evidently its a long term issue. When was the last new member added?  Something about the captcha on the signup page.  Try a fake account and see the error.

it doesn't work, and nobody knows how to fix it.

Thats the bottom line.

Fundraising idea: auction off inactive user accounts to people who want to join.

You can use the proceeds to buy an SSL cert.

There's new accounts created today, so presumably this only an issue for some users?

Try a different browser?

Considering Let's Encrypt certs are free....

Something is definitely broken with SMF.

We were, unfortunately (or fortuantely?) upgraded to a Release Candidate version of 2.1 at the beginning of last year, which apparently has been RC for quite some time and wasn't quite fully baked for prime time.
