register error

[SpanishHarlem]

I have had people tell me that there is an error when they try and register on my forum..We tried in both firefox and chrome and had no problem. This evening I decided to try in IE,

As soon as I put my username in the box I get a pop up telling me the IE needs to resend the information and that if they were making a purchase to click cancel to avoid a duplicate transaction. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this. Using VB 3.8.6

Nobody has any ideas?

Please anyone.. I would love for members to be able to register. Some of them have older machines and do not want to download new browsers.. PLease help.

There's a "name suggestion" Javascript for the Referrer field (so that newbies get a popup of other members after they type 3 or 4 characters). This name suggestion script is also used when sending someone a PM or seaching for someone on the Members List.

However, on your registration form, it's kicking in on the username selection box ... where people type their desired username. If you look closely, there's a little green or pink box under that field just before IE kicks up the popup.... that's the username selection script trying to work.

If you've added some add-on that causes this to kick in on the username suggestion field, disable it.

If you haven't, flip the source of that script off your own server and onto Google or Yahoo (AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Server Settings and Optimization -> Use Remote YUI) to see if it makes a difference.

Alternately, re-download the vB 3.8.6PL1 file from the vBulletin Members Area, and copy the file clientscript/vbulletin_ajax_namesugg.js from that new download to the same place on your server. Yours might have a minor corruption that I don't see from this end.

Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Hi Lynne,

We did do that yesterday and still had the same problem.. So I am at a loss as to what to do.. People are not being able to register at the site at all....

Sadly none of these worked either..

Make sure you are using all default vbulletin files (check in Maintenance > Diagnostics > Suspect File Version) and then use a default style also (you must set it to default in vboptions > style > default style):
Create a new style with no parent:

• Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
• Parent Style: No Parent Style
• Title: Default vBulletin
• Allow User Selection: Yes
• Save

Using this style, with mods off and all default files, try to register - do you still have the same problem?

Ok so it looks like it will work this way.. Yet when all the modifications were turned off I was still getting that problem.. So I don't know what it could be.

Here is what I have installed as plug ins..

Cyb - ChatBox 2.3
Cyb - PayPal Donate 4.8.2
Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager 2.5.1
Enhanced Image Captcha 2.2b
ibProArcade for vBulletin 2.7.0
Post Thank You Hack 7.7
Selective Forum Filter 1.1.0
Usergroup Color Bar 1.0.0
vB Ad Management 5.02
Who Has Read a Thread.


ok.. Now when I try to post on my forum it's taking me to another site.. ARRRRGGGG.. I give up.

Thanks for you help Lynn.. I did what you told me and it was redirecting me to another page.. So I decided to do a little playing.. Looks like the VB ad Management was causing my issue. At least I hope it's fixed.. lol

ok.. So I guess it's not fixed.. Sigh..

Is it redirecting to a site that you know about? I mean, there are hackers out there that hack sites by redirecting them. Are you sure that isn't what is happening?
