    So, fun back story. I have to use work internet for a couple months at a time sometimes. It blocks game related sites. For some reason, they had this forum classified as a game site. I sent in a request to change it which was denied because the site was blocked. . . I requested a review, which they acknowledged, but, nothing seemed to happen. I finally found out which company they use to collect info about what sites fit what categories, and sent them a request for it to be changed. They did!

    So, here I am, right? Nope, there's more. . .

    Then our internet was too slow to get the recaptcha to work, and eventually on a good day I got that to work, but it wouldn't recognize my password length (and didn't suggest complexity, which I matched anyway. . . )

    Eventually I got some wifi and registered with my phone, so /now/ here I am!

    Oh man, that is such a good backstory Chris! I'm so impressed you stuck it out and finally registered :D

    Thank you so much for requesting the status change from whatever company you spoke to. That's so weird though, I wonder how we were categorised as a game site to begin with - unless - actually thinking about it now, there's another Evolve Forums which is a game site, but the domain is different. I think it's turtle rock studios, but they show up under the same search term.

    What's the deal with the password though? I do have a feature enabled requiring members to have passwords of a certain complexity (for everyones benefit, I want all your user details to be safe and secure). At the moment it should purely be 8 characters, with no other restrictions. edit: I just upgraded it to the latest version. It seems there may have been an issue with PHP 7.0, I believe we're on 7.1, so there may have been an issue there, if so I do apologise!

    If anyone has any issues, be sure to contact me using the contact form in the footer.

    Welcome to the site man, enjoy your stay :thumbsup::punch::beers:

    Thanks for the reply, and the welcome note.

    97% sure that the password problem was our crazy slow internet.

    It did seem happier to have a mix of upper and lowercase and some numbers.
