Unable to register at Birthright.net...

I'm not sure where else to ask for advice, for reasons explained below- hopefully some Birthright.net regulars also come here.

I've recently become interested in the Birthright setting, and would love to register at Birthright.net to get a closer look, but unfortunately the image verification intended to prove I'm a real human trying to register is screwed up. I cannot even send a message to the site administrator, because it's done through a form that also requires image verification. So I cannot seem to even let them know that I'd like to join them, or that I'm having trouble.

Both Explorer and Firefox have this problem- I should have clarified that there seems to be two steps of image verification. The first seems to work, (identify the image of Bart Simpson, or a seal, etc) but try to actually register and the line :

Image Verification
Invalid public key. Make sure you copy and pasted it correctly.

shows up in the form and halts further progress.

Apparently I am not the only one having this problem, as I already tried looking for Birthright enthusiasts at EN World, and a few people there also tried to register with the same result.

Are any of you folks Birthright regulars, and able to help connect me to the site admin there? Sooner or later they'll wonder why nobody new is registering, since we cannot even tell them we're having trouble.

I've sent an email to "webmaster@birthright.net", hopefully that will work, but I've heard nothing back yet. I suspect I got treated as spam or something.

Thanks,

Ankh

I found a recent discussion on the same topic over at the Piazza. Maybe some of the advice given there can be of use to you?

For instance, is it possible that your spam filter ate the confirmation message?

Unfortunately not- the registration form is acting like I have failed to correctly identify the image recognition test, so I cannot even register in the first place.

It does look like the Piazza thread got the attention of the right people, perhaps I can find them there. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
