Ok, will check my settings. Thanks for the quick reply.

Sorry for the crazy amount of security, we were getting massive amounts of spam and bots trying to register (about 500 bots per day), so I cranked up all the anti-spam stuff to max for now.  We'll be doing some more forum maintenance and may tweak this down in the next few weeks.
