..new user registrations with hotmail email addresses. Hotmail's new spam filters do not allow activation emails to reach their recipients, and I would rather people register with different email addresses than my having to personally authorize dozens of users a month.

I added a line in the registration form where an email address is input, that says hotmail accounts will not work or be allowed.

I have had the problem at both my vB boards. And as far as I know from the support site, many other vB owners have never allowed hotmail registrations. I will look over the support forums and see if there are any recent issues though.

I just tested with one of my Hotmail email addresses and it functioned perfectly, so I have unbanned hotmail email addresses for use.
