The account creation page for is using a reCAPTCHA security feature (you know, the "Please type the 5 characters in the image" thing) but it is missing the image and the input box. So now the page will not accept a submission without it.

My Admin at Seti.USA asked me to post this.

The web account creation is disabled. You need to use the boinc client.

Hmmm....

That makes for a big problem for Team Founders. The team founder account is not allowed to attach to a project for the purpose of crunching. Doing so will probably cause serious problems.

So my question is: Do you have a work around for this issue?

Oh, sorry. I wasn't expecting a reply so soon.....

OK, I just tried. I saw the reCAPTCHA but as soon as I hit the create account button the page displayed the message "Account Creation Disabled".

Guess I'll stick around a bit this time.

I tried to create a profile earlier today but the reCAPTCHA was missing. Just tried it again and it was there; profile creation now works. Guess I'll be user of the day soon ;)
