Forum admin: Edit profile issue

Hey Z / Matt,

I tried to edit my profile to include some extra details, but I can't save because it says the registration keyword is missing... which is only supposed to apply to new members?
Did I miss a how-to on this?

Re: Forum admin: Edit profile issue

The registration keyword is only required to be correct at registration time. Once you've been approved by an admin, it's not required to save your profile. You can enter anything, it just can't be blank. The software won't allow us to enforce it at registration but not for profile updates.

Anyone who doesn't remember having to enter a keyword at registration time should review this:

The purpose is two-fold: To prevent lazy human spammers and to make sure new members read the rules and policies before registering. It's why this place is so smooth. 8)

When I get tired of making videos and begging people for stories, I guess I can put together a better help section. Base > Help is currently pretty ugly and useless.

So to save my profile I understand I just put anything in there, as long as it's not blank.

And.... it works.
