Is the Raspberry Pi Forum Broken ?

Hello All !

I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi 4, only to find out the wifi does not work.

I purchase it from CanaKit.

Sadly to say CanaKit are no help other then they told me to "Go to the RP forum and ask them" (or something almost exactly like that)

So I tried to log into the RP Forum only to find after about 15 tries, I got no where. Can't get in or cant even get a email response for the forum administration.

Anybody know what is going on with the RP forum ?

And does anyone have any good suggestions on how to (or where to) get my RP4 fixed ?

Thank you all ! Standing by !

I have no problem finding the website. My problem is how to get in ?

Or is the RP forum broken to where no one can get in ?

I can't get a response from the admins ?

What gives ?

Just thought I'd give you some feedback. I didn't have an RPi forum account, so I just tried registering for one (at the link provided) and I was able to register and get a verification email and login. You may want to try it again. Make sure that you fill in all the fields (although the language pulldown didn't work for me - that didn't seem to matter).

I'm attempting to register again for the 20th some odd time.

Can you tell me what "ASCII characters" are ?

I just attempted to register again and it took me back to the "Registration" page, with the "I agree to these terms"

Strange.

I'm afraid that I can't reproduce your failure mode. If I enter an invalid field, I always get an error message rather than returning to the initial registration page.

It could be a problem with the configuration of the computer you are using - OS, browser, etc. Have you tried from a different computer or browser?

I assume that you have been able to register at other sites/forums. Sorry that I can't be of more help.

You can search for "printable ASCII characters" to get a table of valid characters which are basically all the printable characters on your keyboard. If you want to be safe in this case - just use alphanumerics.

It's the first google hit if you type "pi terminal window".

There's a webpage explaining all here: https://magpi.raspberrypi.com/articles/terminal-help
