Register with An Exercise
As part of my strategy to deal with comment spam effectively and to make the experience of regular users easier, I have now activated member registration on the website!! By going here you can now register with the site and in doing so help me to validate your comments.
The more people register, the more useful this feature will be. It only takes a moment and once done you can begin to personalise your experience of the site.
Update – OK, there seem to be major problems with the registration system. I’ve suspended it for the time being.
Hi Peter,
am happy to register but I take it this wouldn’t impact on previous comments at all? Also I guess I would need to sign in in order to comment each time?

Assuming that you register with the same email address that you normally use for your comments, there should be little impact. The same icon will appear next to your name.
Have you considered giving us a proper Gravatar?
Thanks Peter. Re the Gravatar, I don’t have any photos of myself electronically that I could use – though I guess I could use a photo of something else, but the space is a little small for what I’d hope to use (eg a photo of a Lake District or Scottish highlands vista). I would be using the same e-mail address, yes.
in friendship, Blair
Anything’s better than the blue monster Blair…
Could you remind me how to upload pics to Gravatars again…. Ta
Go here – http://en.gravatar.com/site/signup
Make sure you use the same email address as you registered here.
Tried to register several times but it rejected my email address.
I’ve been rejected from registering.
Can’t register either. Also coming up “Too Short” at the set password bit irrespective of how many characters I enter.
Hi folks. I’m out of the office but have done a tweak to fix this. Have another go.
I tried and it didn’t work either. It rejected me after the second try.
Ah well, my comments have not ended up in spam before (to my knowledge) so I will continue to comment.
OK – I’m going to do some testing and see what’s going on
I also tried it twice and it didn’t work. I’m pretty sure that I typed in the Captcha code words correctly, but on the second try I was told that I was ‘restricted’. And a good job too some people may say! :-)
I’m trying to work out what the problem is, but just can’t fathom it. Grrrrrrrrrrr………
Peter
Oops, I added two comments to Carolyn and Blair respectively last night but I forgot to type in the ‘Captcha’ codes. Sorry! Please can you fish them out of the Spam bin and post them.
