Hi Evan I'm still not able to get this to work.
I uploaded the edited config.php file (with the updated code '^11.*99$') to my web server, registered a new 11testyb99 account, and it went through successfully. How many config.php files are there? As far as I know, only 1 in the root folder, right? I inserted the 20 lines of code at the end of the config.php file with no editing. By the way, I'm still running 0.7.3 but will upgrade to 0.8.0 - does this code snippet work with this older version or only the latest version? I was going to upgrade to v0.8.0 but read in another post that 0.8.1 should be out in a few days? If so, I will hold off upgrading my site till then.
