Restrict user email on registration

Mod installer: Great idea, post it as feature request (if you haven't already).

Yeah right, as if they will listen. Think its up to us to do it

Oh ye of little faith.... LOL

I have seen quite a few of the ideas and suggestions posted to the board become a reality. For ones off the top of my head: the users profile picture, the url in their profile/video description and some other stuff.

Some have been included in their next releases and some we had to wait a while for, but they did happen eventually.

OK here's another thought. I would still like to see an alert box since most peeps have their java turned on (don't they need it on for vShare to work? I'll have to check that....) [EDIT: They need it if they want to be able to post comments]

It was brought to my attention that using Java would make bypassing the check easy if a person has it turned off...so....how about including something that if their java is turned off, they will still see the message...something along these lines which I found at dynamic drive forums (this is for when the email is already taken, but it gives you an idea of what I'm talking about):

?> 
  <script type="text/javascript"> 
    alert("The email address <?php echo $_POST['email']; ?> is already registered."); 
    history.back(); 
  </script> 
<?php 
//THIS CODE IS UNCOMMENTED 
//So that people without JS can still see the message. 
        die("The email address '" . $_POST['email'] ."' is already registered"); 
//END 
        //print '<script type="text/javascript">'; 
        //print 'alert("The email address ' . $_POST['email'] .' is already registered")'; 
        //print '</script>'; 

    }

Oh here's another thought...enabling a <div> that the email they tried to use is restricted...

[edit] Never mind...I think an alert box would be better 'cos it's more "in your face"
