Registration forms generally

[AprilSteel]

Figured the first post should be a request on registration.

Can you not make it so, if there is a mistake in the first page ,when the form reloads it does so keeping all the information that has been entered already including spam checkers ,password name email etc .

Now if you make a mistake you have to reenter all of the above again and fix the mistake

Welcome to the forums .

The registration form should keep the username and e-mail address if there is an error, but unfortunately it's not possible to keep the password or anti-spam entries if there is an error. The password is encrypted immediately, so we can't retrieve it to display on the reloaded page (as it can't be accessed, we can only confirm that your password matches on login). Likewise, with the anti-spam, we have to do that on each registration attempt so that it is effective at blocking spammers. It's a pain to re-type it if there is a mistake, but it does mean that the site is kept secure and spam-free .
