OCA Spaces: Unable to Add Site

I've tried multiple times, and keep getting an error that says the form isn't complete, but I have completed every field.  I've attached a photo, showing the error message, and one of the Site Names and Site Titles I tried.  I tried multiple different Site Names, as I thought perhaps my name is common enough that the names I was trying weren't available. I also tried just putting spaces, rather than dashes, and still got the error.

    Dear Karen,

    Thank you for your forum post.

    It'd be my recommendation that you remove the hyphens between each word in the 'Site Name' field; for example "karengreene533053".

    Thereafter, I cannot foresee any issues and please contact me via email, stephenhighfield@oca.ac.uk, should the issue persist.

    Kind regards,

    Removing the hyphens, and leaving no spaces worked. 

    I was following the instructions here: https://learn.oca.ac.uk/mod/book/view.php?id=19464&chapterid=2531, which says:

    "Site Name

    For information regarding the importance of your site name, please refer to the Site Name description. In this one particular field, only lowercase characters and numbers are permitted, spaces ( ), uppercase characters and symbols are prohibited. You may wish to replace any spaces ( ) with a hyphen (-). Any error you receive when creating your blog likely includes either of these three validations."

    I had put the hyphens in because of the sentence suggesting we replace spaces with hyphens, and so that's why I was confused!

    Dear Karen,

    Thank you for your response and I'm happy to hear you were able to resolve the issue.

    I'll endeavour to update the guidance in the near future.
