Not 100% it could be a good idea to add a timer.

Anything that makes it harder to join.... Some members may type and read faster. Other's just will not read the rules no matter how much time they have.

I can see how this may help prevent spam bots though

Installed to help fight spam. But I did setup for 30 seconds, rather then the default 60.

4.1 PL2

Works.

Installed Thnx
I have left the default 60 secs in place cause it will take about that length of time to fill in the registration form

4.1.9, this is working, but it is causing js errors on other pages;

it seems the js function is included in all templates, why not just the regsister template?

[Modena]

I wrapped the js in an if to stop it whining;

var register_regex = new RegExp("register.php");
if(document.URL.match(register_regex))
{
// register_timer function here
}
