Another registration thing, admittedly i'm not sure I want people stupid enough to do this registering on the site but meh, basically can there be a check to see if it's a real email address, I suppose the only way to do so would be to look for "@", just because i've had loads of people signing up and just putting in "davem" or "george68" or "tottenham1", obviously idiots, but still.
It'd be particularly awesome to have a "regular error check", for typos, so if it is hotmail.couk then it says "do you mean "hotmail.co.uk", you'd have to produce a list of common typos of course, but I don't suppose there'd be that many if you focus only on the most popular email providers such as gmail, yahoo and hotmail.
Of course this isn't a big feature, but is just one of those things which would make you go "wow" and that nobody else offers.
But yeah main point is to check if its actually an email address they're putting in when registering.

Or something clever, they enter their name, for example putzman, then a dropdown for the domain, eg hotmail, and the tld, .co.uk. Then have an 'other' in both the dropdowns where a textfield will then appear. maybe loads of javascript, but very clever

Yeah that's taking things a bit to far size wise, there was me thinking the common typo's suggestion might be too much, your thing just blows that out of the water effort and size wise
Perhaps something to say, the username you registered with was "whatever" if this was incorrect please enter a new one or something like that.
There definitely needs to be something to help in regards people entering wrong email addresses
