Snitz 2000 3.4.05
Win 2000 SP4/IIS
Access DB via DSN

Issue: User clicks on "Agree" button, during initial registration process, and the page simply refreshes.

Checked normal possibilities: User has zonealarm security software, but has tried disabling it during this process, to no effect. User has also checked cookie settings, and they seem ok.

Is there a way to bypass the TOS page so I can avoid this problem altogether?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Take a look at the Referer MOD, which handles issues like that (usually happens for Norton Internet Security users).

My MODs:
Birthdays - Custom Policy - F.A.Q. Administration - Forum Rules - Guestbook
Links Manager - MyOwnGoogle - Profile Views - Search Log - WebSearch

Useful stuff:
Forum and MOD Installation - MOD Installation Guide - Snitz v3.4.05 Readme - Free ASP Hosts - Support Snitz

Thanks for the tip. I'm giving that a try.

My question though was "Is there a way to bypass the TOS page so I can avoid this problem altogether?". I'm still interested in the answer to this question.

Thanks!

Find the following code in inc_header.asp (approx. lines 478-483):

	if strAutoLogon <> "1" then
		if strProhibitNewMembers <> "1" then
			Response.Write	"          |" & vbNewline & _
					"          <a href=""policy.asp""" & dWStatus("Register to post to our forum...") & " tabindex=""-1""><acronym title=""Register to post to our forum..."">Register</acronym></a>" & vbNewline
		end if
	end if

and replace it with the following code:

	if strAutoLogon <> "1" then
		if strProhibitNewMembers <> "1" then
			Response.Write	"          |" & vbNewline & _
					"          <a href=""register.asp""" & dWStatus("Register to post to our forum...") & " tabindex=""-1""><acronym title=""Register to post to our forum..."">Register</acronym></a>" & vbNewline
		end if
	end if

then find the following code in register.asp (approx. lines 54-56):

		if InStr(strReferer, "policy.asp") = 0 then
			Response.Redirect("policy.asp")
		end if

and remove it.
This should do it.

Thanks! If the referer mod doesn't do its job I'll give it a try!

Simply bypassing the TOS probably won't help. Without cookies working right they won't be able to use the forum correctly. I've referred them to sites that test and explain how to enable per-session cookies. They've all figured it out eventually.
