Hey guys my friend is having trouble creating an account on SC2Mapster. He's looking to get into the mapping community but when he create an account it just says Bad Request once he presses the create button. Any idea what is going on?
Delete cookies/cache or use a different web browser. This website always messes up for me, i click a button and it just doesnt work, i usually have to use another browser and alternate between the 2 every now and then.
He's tried on Google Chrome, FIrefox, Opera and Safari and it still comes up with the same thing. Even after clearing the cache, removing cookies and everything.
Yeah I had this.
It turns out it's what happens when you try to register with a username that's already taken.
Apparently the correct error message hasn't appeared since the server move.
Also, many usernames are taken because this forum uses some stupid network called 'The Curse Network' (which honestly I have no idea why, I don't see how it benefits anyone or anything). Basically this means that if someone has your name on an unreleated forum you'll not be able to use it here.
Proof that I got frustrated with this shit a few weeks ago:
My username.

It still does the same thing, even after the name is valid, "Bad Request"
Tell him to create an account on your computer, or you do it for him, that may violate a few rules though.
Sorry, its a known bug, the error message is supposed to tell you if its the incorrect password, alreade used username or incorrect email etc...
But now it just show a bad request in general, mapster use the same user database with curse so you might consider your friends take another name :(
alright. thanks progammer. ill try and get it working for him
