Default "Random" Registration Question

So I just registered for this forum, after about 5-6 failed attempts at the question, I thought it must be a GoogleChrome issue. Tried in Internet Explorer still no luck.

"What does 1+3 equal?"

Any normal person would say 4? or Four? The answer that was actually accepted was 3. -.-

This question seem to come up every time too, so much for being random.

So note to admin/webmaster. Change that

and also, Hi everyone

I wouldn't be surprised if Jimmy set this random question and answer to try and stop bots from registering automatically and spamming the forum.

Come on Jimmy, get it sorted.

Also, I've seen on another thread that some of your customers are demanding a phone friendly version of the forum - so get off your ass.

oops, sorry I changed the question to make it harder for spammers to join then changed it again without updating the answers!
Been a long week!

Thanks for letting me know and welcome to the forum!

I was extremely baffled when trying to register. Thinking of all the different ways to type 4 :P

I also browse the site on my iPhone, all seems pretty good to me. Though perhaps a "lo-fi" theme might be of use to stop sucking up peoples data?

Just an idea
