UPDATE (September 16) -- Google has released Google Chrome version 3 which fixes the bug described in this article. Users of Google Chrome are advised to upgrade their browser as soon as possible. The original article follows:

We are aware that visitors of our website who use the Google Chrome internet browser are experiencing a problem during the new account registration process which prevents them from being able to successfully register. The issue involves the verification image used to prevent bots from creating accounts not displaying properly for Chrome users.

Unfortunately, this issue is a bug in the Chrome browser itself -- not an issue with our website. Until Google releases an update which corrects this problem, the only alternative for Chrome users who wish to register on our website is to use a different browser during the registration process.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

The previously-announced maintenance of our website has been completed and the application is open again. Recruitment at Team [SF] is always open unless it needs to be closed for technical reasons.

Thank you for your understanding during this time.

The application to join Team Special Forces will be closed starting on Wednesday, March 18 and will remain closed for approximately one week. We will be conducting maintenance on our website next early week and recruitment will temporarily be suspended during this time.

Please check back next week for further updates. Thank you for your interest in joining Team Special Forces.

December 2008 marks the start of the team's eleventh year of operations. Founded in December 1997 in the online tank combat game of Tanarus, Team Special Forces has existed continuously since then and has expanded several times into multiple games.

The team thanks its members, supporters, friends, and everyone who plays on our servers for helping to make this community the place to be for the past ten years.

After over eight years as the chief leadership officer of Team Special Forces, today [SF]Hairy announced his retirement. During his long and illustrious tenure, the team developed from being a Tanarus-only group of a handful of players to today's multi-game worldwide community.

He will be replaced as Supreme Commander immediately by [SF]viziouz, who previously was the team's Chief of Recruitment Operations. Additional information regarding the transition will be made available in the near future.

The entire team community expresses its deepest thanks and appreciation for the many years of [SF]Hairy's dedicated service and leadership. We exist as we are today because of his efforts and vision. He will remain on the team as a Contributing Adviser.
