I restored the forum, but some functionality may not work, and errors may still occur. I'll do further debugging as needed...

What username are you trying to create?

Same one I use here. Everyone else seems to be able to use their existing user names.

Try doing it without the hyphen.

Do you have an account already? https://wiki.aaroads.com/w/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&returnto=Main+Page
No. It STILL doesn't work!

What do you mean by this? What happens when you try? We have not noticed any account creations today.

It just keeps on rejecting me. Right now, it's telling me I have an Incorrect or missing CAPTCHA, and I "haven't specified a valid user name" (again), which is a blatant lie!

Yes, I believe I mentioned that it didn't work.

I wouldn't know a captcha answer if it was right in front of my face. All I know is that I've been doing everything you people told me in order to sign in for a membership and the damn website keeps rejecting everything I do.

Like a lot of roadgeek sites, they're using a "trivia" question as the CAPTCHA instead of the regular "type these mangled letters" or "click on all the things that are cars, unless they aren't and we want you to click on them anyways" type things.

Both of which are used to force unsuspecting people to train an AI for free, by the way.
