Member Sign Up Fixed

posted Aug 13, 2008 at 10:43 PM by deathbringer.  (37 Comments)

For everyone who tried to sign up or register an account with Metalunderground.com in the past week, you probably got errors or a message that the username was already taken. The error was a side effect of changes made in code cleanup after the hacking attacks. Rest assured that your registration(s) DID go through despite the error message.

The issue has now been fixed. I offer my sincerest apologies for the inconvenience.

(Thanks to Rose for alerting me to this issue)

I agree, I think that DB should add a private forum for members so we can talk about other stuff that isn't relevant to the topic.

^what are you talking about? That IS Kalis's avatar. She chose your blank picture thing and uploaded it on Gravatar. :p

I hope this is the last of those bugs, though I suspect not, I'm guessing that we might be getting other repercussions of the hack in the future that we might not realize for a while.

I just don't understand why someone would hack into METAL UNDERGROUND? At least it is becoming popular, though, which is a good thing. It is raining right now...Thank God! South Texas needs the rain badly.
