Description:
I tried to register to MySQL forge:
http://forge.mysql.com/people/person.php?action=add

But when I clicked "Create account..." I got a page with only these 4 words:
Could not open socket

How to repeat:
register to MySQL forge

Thank you for the bug report.

I see this problem.. for 1 month now? This should be fixed imho.
This is common problem related to recapcha..

I have some code to contribute, and I cannot do this because I cannot register...

Any updates?

Well, i solved my problem on other forum. So i dont need to register here anymore, but its just funny, company like mysql dont know fix this common problem, its just funny and pathetic..

What a joke!!  MYSQL can't figure out what appears to be a DB connection issue?  How embarrassing, I'm letting everyone know about this.

As "The Forge" is officially dead now (see e.g. https://blogs.oracle.com/MySQL/entry/eol_of_mysql_forge ) this report can be closed as "Won't Fix" or "Unsupported"?
