That username is already in use or does not meet the administrator's standards.

[Mechta]

Hey Guy's,

I have a major problem. I have been receiving emails non-stop about new users trying to register, and they cant register any user name they try. They all get the same message.

One guy tried 50 different once...

I am having an issue registering for the forums, it wont allow me to enter any username. I have attempted to enter about 50 usernames and it says everything is in use?

I've even tried random once, I keep getting this message:

That username is already in use or does not meet the administrator's standards. If you are testing_user and you have forgotten your password, click here.

The registration link is: http://www.torontostreets.ca/forum/register.php?do=register

Can it be something in my permission settings?... About 4 months ago I had a major spam problem, I had my hands full with all the posts and registrations the spammers were causing.

I can't remember what I've altered. I only remember I've set: Akismet in the Spam Management bar, and entered the key I got from wordpress.

Any suggestion and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've removed "preg_match" from the User Registration Options, it seems to work now. But I don't know if it was wize or not, can someone let me know...
