I went to register. My Vortex e-mail has a + symbol in it so I keep all my spam under control (forums+vortex@...). Gmail even suggests using it so you can tell where stuff came from. It's also a valid part of any e-mail address....</p> <p>So I couldn't even register to report this. I ended up using FireBug to edit the HTML on the registration page to add back in the + and continue on registering, which it let me without any problems.</p> <p>So 2 bugs.<br /> 1) + is a valid e-mail address character<br /> 2) You really should revalidate everything before registering. The 'readonly' flag only works so well with people that have Firebug. </p> http://forums.firevortex.net/topic/faq-for-firevortex#post-2 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 10:07:33 +0000 FireVortex 2@http://forums.firevortex.net/ <p><strong><a href="http://forums.firevortex.net/tags/how-to">How To</a></strong></p> <p><a href="http://forums.firevortex.net/topic/how-to-add-firevortex-to-the-firefox-toolbar-menu">Add FireVortex to the Firefox Toolbar Menu</a><br /> <a href="http://forums.firevortex.net/topic/how-to-ignore-an-user">Ignore an User</a><br /> <a href="http://forums.firevortex.net/topic/how-to-kill-a-thread">Kill a Thread</a><br /> <a href="http://forums.firevortex.net/topic/how-to-add-a-favorite-forum">Add a Favorite Forum</a></p> <p><strong>Q&amp;A</strong></p> <p><em>Q: A Javascript Error Pop-up displays when I'm viewing a topic or forum</em><br /> (ie Error: document.getElementById("fv-header-favforum") is null)</p> <blockquote><p>This is an unexpected error.
