Everything works after the upgrade. But I can't register new members. I click on register, it goes to the Privacy Statement page. I click on 'agree', and instead of changing to the registration page, the Privacy Statement page comes back. Is there something wrong with the forum or database or do I have some option switched on or off?
Thanks,

I had the same thing happen to me. Sounds like a firewall problem. Disable your firewall for a few seconds, and register. You might also want to try a search for "Norton" or "firewall" for more info.
If this is indeed your problem, the firewall is blocking the cookie that shows the registration is coming from the same domain name, which is required by Snitz for security purposes (thank goodness!!). Or at least that's my understanding! Please correct me if I'm wrong, Snitz folks! |

I was registering members from this computer without a problem before the upgrade. I don't think that there has been any network changes since then. I will check with my system administrator and try from a different computer later. However, I register all the users from my computer at my school so I guess I need to find a way around this. - I am not able to shut any firewall protection here. (I was hoping it was something in the configuration....) thanks.... anyone else have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,

| Most users who had this problem, found out it was Norton Firewall that was blocking the REFFERER variable from being passed to the register.asp page. The register.asp page checks to see if you are coming from the policy.asp page. But since the REFFERER field is blocked by Norton, it redirects you to the policy.asp page. |

| I suppose that you could remove the redirect back to policy.asp if it was just for an intranet environment? |

Well I don't have the code to hand but the will be a line that looks like <%response.redirect "policy.asp"%> Don't remove it but comment it out.
I am sure someone can post the exact line if you get stuck.
