This hack uses AJAX to check if the user name is taken and also displays errors and reasons why the user messed up on the registration form. Look at attached example picture.

Installation Instructions:
(If you don't have the unregistered usergroup set to Can View Forum = YES then you will have to follow the normal steps then apply this fix: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=136)

1) Import the Product (make sure you have an original register template, or use the [manual edits])
2) Upload the images and javascript
3) Also Add these to your Additional CSS Definitions for your style:

.inputgood {
    width: 211px;
    border: 1px solid Green;
}
.inputbad {
    width: 211px;
    border: 1px solid Red;
}

But than the behaviour of ajaxReg is wrong, because the normal registration of vBulletin allows A and a in this case.

I found the solution to my problem "user names not being checked" etc... i had previously installed Chad's old hack, there was an old resident plug-in named 'CheckUsername' which was still being run upon registration (product > vbulletin) and thus canceled out ajaxReg's username checking... once the old plug-in was disabled/removed and with a couple of refreshes... all is working well, cheers

no, its because of your regex I'm pretty sure.

Instead of this:

^[A-Z0-9 ]+$

Try this:

^[A-Za-z0-9]+$

Thank you. I will give it a look.

I seem to be having a issue.. if the user writes the username in the form they get this in there: "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?><error>You do not have permission to perform this action. Please refresh the page and login before trying again.</error>"

[Coders Shack]

do you have ajax disabled?

[FreshFroot]

I'll double check, but I don't think so. because the ajax seems to work for the email and password without a problem.. it's jsut the username...

[Coders Shack]

the email and all those others don't use ajax. The only field that uses it is the username field.

[FreshFroot]

hmm I've checked the setting and AJAX is running... I'm wondering wut else could be the problem?

"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?><error>You do not have permission to perform this action. Please refresh the page and login before trying again.</error>"

what would be causing no permissions?

[FreshFroot]

I figured it out... I'm not sure if it's a bug? but if you have your guest usergroup set so they can't view your forum UNLESS they register it doesn't work.... and shows the "permisison error"... So people using this that have it so users HAVE TO REGISTER in order to view the forum.. have to set it so they can see the forum......anyway you can work a way around that?
