How can I make this any clearer?

As you can see from attached screen capture, there is a HUGE warning telling new users NOT to use auto-fill to fill in the registration form. When you use auto-fill, it will put your Town in the Location" field and your state in the field that is meant for the question "What British car do you own?" Therefore, I have this huge BOLD YELLOW notice at the top of the screen warning to NOT use auto-fill but to fill in the form manually.

Nevertheless, like clockwork, I get 2 or 3 new registrations a week that fail to heed that warning. How in the world can I make it any clearer?

Or you can automatically refer those who use auto fill to a Monster Truck forum or some such thing :devilgrin: Seriously, can't you disable auto fill?

No, unfortunately that is not an option. Wish it was! However, I have gotten to the point where I simply disapprove such registrations and they will get an email telling them why. Then, if they want to re-register the correct way, great.
 
Well, I do happen to own a very pristine Tennessee - quite rare, you know...

Seriously, though, I don't know what more you can do. We have turned into a lazy lot. Instant gratification and all that. Sad, really.
 
OK - I'm dense.

What is auto fill? How does the system know what to automatically type in?

:confused:

It is actually the feature on your computer where if you start typing a "form" it will complete the typing - name address etc.

Either that or he is referring to a German ditch digger - you know, Otto fill.

Just to clarify do you have Ten-essee? or One-essee cause I might be interested in buying a spare.
