.inputgood {
    width: 211px;
    border: 1px solid Green;
}

    width: 211px;
    border: 1px solid Red;
}

Well that brings us to my original question: Has anyone been able to modify this to use ajax for the captcha (and nospam)?

I have the same problem. Is there any solution for it?

EDIT: The above posters are right, there are no images showing, let me look into the code and see if i can fix it.

I had this same problem. I'm not sure if it's something to do with my forums being hosted in a sub-domain (which a lot of forums are), but I opened up the register.js file and changed $stylevar[imgdir_misc] with images/misc/. This fixed the problem for me.

I also noticed that it comes up with Unregistered as the username when the registration page is first displayed. Anyone else seeing this as well?

I have a problem, not only does it not check it inline, i have to click on the next tab for it to check it, but also its looking for my images here:

http://www.myforum.com/dev/$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/good.gif

Whats up with that?

In my AdminCP, I have listed as an Illegal Username administrator. However, when I type this in when registering, it says administrator is available. I think this mod needs to query these illegal usernames as well as the user database.

Great mod, lots of potential, but there a few little things that need to be fixed before I go using it on a my production forum.

To fix this, simply update the register.js file and hard code it in.

That said, feature request.
Could it also check if the username entered in the form is "allowed"?
There are names like root or admin or others.. on the cencor or ban list.

nice and easy install, works perfect! Thanks!

That fix too care of it, my images are now showing, but when testing, it says that taken names are available.

I'm about to uninstall till they get this right. Just too buggy in both versions.

well theses errors i cant reproduce as for the image one... someone in this thread told me to update the js and change the path.
