The following errors need to be corrected before you can register:
Sorry, your answer was wrong. Try again!
What's going wrong here? And how do i contact the forum admin's about this??
I find this also a weird way to register, although i understand the reason (spambot's etc.) but this is so weird!
@ ondoho:
That wasn't really helpful, don't you think so.
my apologies.
i just had a closer look at your problem, i.e. i tried to register a test account; all i can say is:
it is possible - but maybe they're doing it on purpose, so i won't tell you.

Rep:
There was another post on this exact topic on this forum but I can't seem to find it, sorry. I seem to recall it might have something to do with the time zone you are in compared to the forum. Have you tried it again at a different time of day?
Otherwise you could try searching this forum as I think there might be a slightly modified version of the line that works better.
Ensure you arent copying and pasting any trailing spaces. The following lines demonstrate what the different parts of the command do.
Code:
server$ date -u +%V
52
server$ date -u +%V$(uname)
52Linux
server$ date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum

server$ date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'

The date command at the beginning outputs the number week of the year, with monday as the first day, from the perspective of UTC. We are in the 52nd week, so it should be working... maybe try faking it as the 51st week of the year and see if that works, maybe they are out of sync.
