Periodically my forum gets put into a "cyclic screen refresh" almost, if not always. This happens for the new user when they are applying or reading the Register information, this causes a problem in that they never see the full screen and thus can not accept or reject the agreement.
Any suggestion or guidance with this would be appreciated. |

Was that even in English? 
Tried searching with both searcb.asp and search2.asp ? |

From what I could figure out from his post, it sounds like NiteOwl might be having a different problem to the Norton Referrer issue; sounds to me like policy.asp is automatically reloading at random intervals without any interaction from the visitor. Have you made any changes to that file, Niteowl?

| Actually I have found this link http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=50297 and it appears that this may have fixed my problem, however I can't test as I am OK and its just users who have the issue, if anyone feels like hitting this link and seeing if the register loops them just let me know if it does, otherwise I thank you for looking at this post. |

Well, i just signed up without any trouble. Havent checked to see if the email was sent yet but, in a bit of a rush so that can wait. It does, however, seem to work now. 
Well done, Nite.
