Do NOT report bugs when a package is just outdated, or it is in the AUR. Use the 'flag out of date' link on the package page, or the Mailing List.

Description:
I *cannot* register for the ArchLinux forum.

The registration page asks several questions including an added security question the answer to which you're supposed to receive via e-mail, however, as no send or place request button has been pressed, there are no e-mails being exchanged.

This is horrifically discouraging as new user who can't even register to the forum to find feedback on why his install is not functioning.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Go to Achlinux Forums
Click Register

Erhm, which ‘added security question’ are you talking about?

What is the output of "date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"?

Forgive me if I'm mis-interpretting this question.... but my brain is fried at this point.

And, according to you, what is the answer to that question? What did you post in that text field at the bottom of the registration page?
Comment by Donavon (MacDerJack) - Thursday, 12 March 2015, 21:31 GMT
I have no idea what to place there, I've never seen the question before in my life and if I try entering anything it tells me the answer is incorrect...

That's a command. You put it on the command line.
