Greetings I have been trying to register in a few journals during past months. Both use the OJS system, however everytime I register (I have tried different operative systems, incognito mode and I have erased the cookies) the message " ##user.register.form.usernameAlphaNumeric## " appears and prevent me from registering. Any advice on what to do?
Hi @DiegoCA96
This message you are seeing is related to a validation message. It is showed when you attempt register a username with a non-acceptable character.
The username can contain only lower-case alphanumeric characters, underscores, and hyphens, and must begin and end with an alphanumeric character.

Probably journals you’re attempting are note with complete locale files translated.
