OK, by using the check code that Deno92964 came up with for the nickname field:
return (bool)( preg_match( '/^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/u', $arg0 ) and !file_exists( $dir['root'] . $arg0 ) );
I have been able to get my join form to accept a new registration. However, the landing page is broken:
Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server.
Web Server at community.caltrade.com
The page url that shows in the browser window:
http://community.caltrade.com/m/avatar/?join_text=_USER_ACTIVATION_SUCCEEDED
Not sure yet if this is an anomaly, or if it will happen every time. Anyone else get this? Fix?

p.s.
I am however, relieved to see that you can now enter a member without a
birthdate - this was a major pain for business related applications in
previous versions.

p.s.s. Sorry about that double post - please respond to this one. This site is terribly slow today for some reason.
