Title: Bitcoin Forum Email Validation Bug
Post by: AmsterdamJoe on February 25, 2016, 10:21:26 PM

Hi,

I want to bring this bug to your attention:

email address with new TLDs, such as ".directory" in joe@cryptobiz.directory, are being rejected by the forum software as invalid.

confirmed. seems to be in Subs-Members.php. They use the following regex:

Code:

~^[0-9A-Za-z=_+\-/][0-9A-Za-z=_\'+\-/\.]*@[\w\-]+(\.[\w\-]+)*(\.[\w]{2,6})$~

It's not even the fully RFC822 complaint one (http://ex-parrot.com/~pdw/Mail-RFC822-Address.html). >:(

Can only Theymos and BadBear change/fix this? It is a serverside problem, so I'm guessing only people with access to the server(s) them/itself can fix this.
