Bug on the registration page

"Please correct the following errors before continuing:
You did not enter an option for the "Are you using Dolphin 3.5-367?" field. Please fill in or select a value for this field."

Isn't that field supposed to be optional?

That is not a bug; the field is meant to make sure that you downloaded a build from the actual official website, not 3.5-367. I think it should be reworded so that people who don't read in full will understand it, but it basically says to check the box if you are using a build downloaded from this website (https://dolphin-emu.org/ instead of http://www. shall not be named). Thankfully, though, dolphin-emulator doesn't seem to be the top result on google anymore, so it's slightly less important than when it WAS the top result.

Heh, nice link trap lol. I was all ready to fuss at you.

Actually, before I edited the post, it DID link to... that place. The one we don't want people to go to. So, fuss at me for not thinking of it until 10 minutes after posting that.

That field is required though, and I don't use that version.

Attempt to make a mock account and you'll see what I mean.

I know what you mean. It's not the most well-worded thing ever, I think it should say something like "Are you using a version from dolphin-emu.org?"

So it's not so much a bug as it is a mistake, oh well XD

It's not a mistake at all – we were really damn tired of people coming in with 3.5-367 and complaining about bugs that had already been fixed, among other things. At the time the old site only had up to 3.5-367 available, but now that it has 4.0, I think we could probably update it to say "Are you using 4.0.0 or another outdated version of Dolphin?" with "No, I am using 4.0.2 or 4.0-xxxx." as the correct answer.

Moved to Site Feedback...

Deleted my separate thread on the subject.

I do think that it should be reworded, because it is a little confusing. Maybe something like "Are you using a build from dolphin-emu.org" with the answer being "yes" would be more appropriate.
