Something might be wrong with your verification questions because I had to try to register 3 times before your system allowed me in.

Sorry if you had a problem registering but glad you made it in!

In all seriousness, I just checked all the questions and they're all super simple and straight forward.   You probably either made a typo or you wrote a number where you needed to spell it out...like 2 instead of two or vice versa.    All the other questions are just fill in the blank like 'The United _____ of America' which anyone should be able to figure out or there's a few basic math questions in there like 9-5+4=__ (answer=8) which again, anyone should be able to figure out.   I try and change some of the questions slightly every week because unfortunately spam bots eventually figure them out and then this forum gets inundated with spam.   That's the reason for the questions in the first place...to try and weed out most of the spam bots.

I actually was just looking over the registration questions and one question had a 'space' after a number answer that I think might have caused it to come up as 'wrong' even though a person put the right number.   So Tase...you might have been right in there being one question causing an issue with registrations.    Fortunately there's about 10 questions that are rotated so it would only have affected a minority of registrants...still I fixed it and hopefully it didn't turn away too many potential members in frustration.   :-X
