Why are you trying to register without entering any information anyway ?
Does it really matter?
Anyway, if it's only for test code, it's just a FYI. Otherwise, if I remember correctly, it tells you to enter username/password etc.
Actually, I've always wondered why the 'register' link is even available for anybody logged in. I changed it on mine so it's only displayed to guests. Seems fairly pointless otherwise.< |

It is even more pointless trying to register without filling in any of the fields 
being able to register when logged in is quite useful for testing it is a pain in the ass if you have to logout first.< |

Back to topic; I just realised there is at least one more file you need to modify if you use the code, and that is the pop_profile.asp. Otherwise, you can not change profile settings properly. You should do a search for
Request.Form("email") and name=""email""
or other filed name that you want to substitute.
If you substitute another form field variable, of course other files may need changes as well.< |

HuWR,
With all due respect, I think manually looking at every registrant before allowing them to use the forum is fairly backward.
Shouldn't we be taking advantage of the many CAPTCHA options that are available these days so that we can reduce the monotony and time spent of manual reviews of potential members?
Manually reviewing members seems a bit harsh once a forum grows, and I am not too sure that it is a positive way to go about administration.
The more we can automate the better right?
Also, waiting for a signup to be reviewed by a moderator can have a negative effect on new signups. Your forum is an exception, since it is THE forum for the topic it covers, but most other users of snitz forums are probably covering a topic for which competitiion for users is greater, perhaps a topic that already has several forums on the net. If this is the case, and I try and sign up for one, and its not instant, I move on to the next, so I can quickly get, or give, the help that I intended.
