The email address you are attempting to use is not valid. Your email address must contain an ampersand and cannot contain any spaces.

what does that mean?

When you are asked to enter your email address(sometimes for verification purposes) the standard naming convention is as follows:

yourname@domain.com(or .org or .net etc.)

The @ symbol is called an ampersand. HTH

THe posting server is reading a space in your e-mail address somewhere. I agree that I don't see one in what you typed, but that's what's probably happening. I get that when I try to add someone to my e-mail list on hotmail, I'll type in a name, and it'll say something stupid like, no spaces or symbols..., please reenter, and I am following its little rules, it just won't take, I'm to the point I just remember e-mail addresses and don't try to add to my e-mail list on hotmail. sorry you're having the trouble, wish I could do more than provide you with an anecdote.

I dont think ReefCentral accepts email addresses from yahoo or hotmail. Take note that I said I THINK, I could be wrong, but that doesn't happen very often. J/K
