Sorry, but you're not allowed to register multiple accounts at the same time from the same computer.

How to disable this security feature?
Some of my officemate sharing the same computer and wants to register to my forum.


[EDIT]
3 Registration works when I tried using 3 different browser(opera, ff & safari), this could a bugs.
But still, how to disable this sec feature?

I don't know if you can disable it. It's a security measure to prevent mass registration from the same computer.

You could bypass it by clearing your cookies after each registration.

I should think that it could be worked around by emptying browser cache in between registrations. Have you tried?

By a girl, even :P

I can't test this right now, but for as far as I know clearing the cookies for the particular domain should work.

Was that from a new install? I did a large update from RC3 to RC4 and just registered 3 new accounts from the same computer without getting this message.

I vaguely seem to remember from a while back, that you could register multiple accounts from the same terminal, but not during the same session   :P

@Road Rash:
Fresh Install

@Paul_Pauline:
I tried using proxy, but still same probs with registration.
Logging in using same proxy and using existing account encounter no problem.

Definitely a problem I'd say needs a fix, and thanks for the heads up about it--so I don't upgrade. My site has several sets of siblings using the same household connexion and I'd never want to disable people from signing up just because someone else in their house already did.

I had this problem a couple days ago. I found that if you restart your browser each time you register, it works. As xenovanis said, I believe this is controlled by cookies (dated to one browser session).

Registration using admins is no problem,
I encounter this prompt after clicking the "Register" using the "normal" registration process (index.php?action=register).
