Alphanumeric - Problems Creating / Registering a New Forum Account

This page is specifically for people who are trying to create a new forum account but who are getting errors about an invalid alphanumeric value. Alphanumeric means that your username must be made up only of letters (alpha) and numbers (numeric). It can't contain any spaces, dashes, asterisks, apostrophes or other odd characters.

If you are sure that your username only has letters and numbers, then the error usually has to do with your cookies, because our system uses cookies to track who you are.

Make sure you have cookies enabled!!

Then follow these steps.

Close down all your browser windows. Then open up just one.

If you're using Internet Explorer, go into Tools - Internet Options.
Click the "Delete Cookies" button.
While you’re at it, also press the "Delete Files" button. That will help make sure nothing at all is interfering.

Now click OK.

Close down the browser window. You should now have no browser windows open.

Now open a fresh one and go here -
