OK, so first of all, I have to admit that I am not yet running the latest version. I have been unable to dedicate the time to the site for some months and have begun working on a completely new server which I will migrate the current boards to. This new server will be a completely new implementation and kept up to date in a more rigorous fashion.
What I need is for someone who recognises the problem I am encountering to give me some pointers on how to manage the transitional time period.
User registration has never been an issue on the site - it has been running with vB3.6.8 for quite a long time without any problems (well of a software kind
Suddenly I am getting emails from everywhere asking me to manually activate users' accounts since they claim none of the links in the email work.
I have just confirmed this myself - all the links direct the browser to a blank page with the correct url in the url bar.
This is most strange - ie:

is blank and so is
http://www.myforums.com.au/vB/register.php?a=ver
calling upon register.php directly provides a page stating that the records indicate that I have already registered and so on... and when I go to my CP I find that I am actually activated and logged in - I can edit my profile?>?>
Users are not getting this far since the redirection is not activating. Perhaps this is why I am not getting all the requests since some members are rehitting the site and finding a way in after activation and ignoring the white page...
I have searched around a bit but found nothing that directly relates
Can anyone suggest some troubleshooting while I continue to build the new server?
This appears to apply to all url's in emails - request new password etc...
Many Thanks in Advance
