Broadcom ported my profile over from VMWare, and doesn't know how to handle my name now so I can't sign the download agreement. It also doesn't give me a way to edit my name, either 😛

I tried the support chat, and got an error instead.

What a shitshow.

I edited the page HTML to make the text field editable, and it worked.

Great validation, guys. A+

@stroughtonsmith I had a similar experience last week. Signed up with my email address (a custom “.email” TLD). Had to auth into it from a 3rd party and got told my email address was invalid. Turned out the client-side validation had a {2,4} ending on the regex.
Good to know that sometimes my 5 char email is ok, but sometimes it’s not

@stroughtonsmith It’s times like these I’m less sad that browsers became the dominant platform. At least we can all trivially edit/augment website content.
