Problem for registration has been fixed

On Wednesday morning, I received an email from Anastassia Paskaleva. She was unable to create an account on iMechanica, because CAPTCHA kept telling her that she typed the letters wrong. Lesley Lam, iMechanicia user number 1, has just fixed the problem. Now new users can register once more. We apologize for the inconvenience that this problem might have caused you, and thank Anastassia for letting us know the problem.

iMechanica is powered by Drupal, an open source content management system. Drupal has a vibrant community of developers, who have contributed numerous modules. iMechanica uses a small subset of them. The CAPTCHA module was installed recently to prevent sign up by computers.

Sometime next week, Lesley will upgrade iMechanica to the newest edition of the software, Drupal 5. As a user, you should not see any immediate difference. However, Drupal 5 will allow us to keep up with the technology. We are very exited about the future prospect.
