i've known for a long time that if a zero showed up as the first number in the authentication code it wasn't required to enter it.

BUT.....

i just had the authentication code of 00014 and all i entered was 14.

it worked. :cool:

And... This is a useless post.

But anyway:

That is because the zeros get taken off (trunicated) automatically by the code anyway. It is also because a number can not start with zero.

So (obviously), you can remove all the leading zeros and still have a valid code.

Technically, it's parsing the string into a number, so speed, if you think of them as numbers and not text it'll make more sense :)

Whatever :). I made mine up on the spot. It was just random text. I didn't really know how to explain it.:p

And I'm a programmer, so I know _exactly_ how to explain it, but I'm never sure if those I'm explaining to will understand what I'm babbling about :)

Me too. I know how you feel. I tried my best.:)

Old thread is old
but really, i just did this and it works. Thought it would be funny to dig up this old thread. Some of the newbs might care to partake.

ya see i figured this out (was told) but to me i enter the zeroes subconciously so i actually think about it to withhold the 0's

Fixed in alpha. you need to put the zeroes in that captcha.
