Upon investigation, it is apparent that this is the result of new members not answering the following question during registration:
Are you human? *
Answer the Textual Confirmation question to prove you are not a spambot.
This question must be answered YES or yes in order to successfully register.
Whilst this may be a little confusing for some at first, without this in place, the forums (as was the case previously) would be swamped with spambot registrations on a daily basis.
Hope this clears things up for all those wondering why they are experiencing problems registering.
