Hi,

I have the mod uninstalled at the moment and if I register (in Firefox) I see the message

'Thank you for registering, ####. An email has been dispatched to ####### with details on how to activate your account. Click here to return to where you were previously.

You will receive an email in your inbox. You MUST follow the link in that email before you can post on these forums. Until you do that, you will be told that you do not have permission to post.'

I am not logged in at that point. When I click on the activation link a new Firefox tab opens and I am now logged in. I see the following and can begin to use the forum normally:

'Thank you, testy. Your registration is now complete.

You may now proceed to edit your Profile in order to etc etc'

If I have the mod active I am not logged in when I click on the activation link.

It's no big deal as all the user actually has to do is to login using the PW and username with which he registered but I see some new members clicking around a bit and then disappearing because they think that registration was unsuccessful so it would be good to remove the uncertainty for them.

You are supposed to be logged in after submitting the registration form successfully (but before activation). I am logged in after submitting it with and without the mod.

Hi,

Automatically? I have to click on "Click here to return to where you were previously" in the first message otherwise nothing happens. If I click on that the forum logs me in.

I guess the important thing is though that if I have your mod installed I am not logged in automatically at the second stage (activation).

So much confusion @@ sending you a PM!

Many, many thanks for testing this for me :up: Good to hear that all works normally when you go through the same steps at your end. Looks like a case of operator error at my end

Thanks again.

Okay, I looked at this again and the problem is still there. I tried registering from a different computer and the result was the same. Here are the symptoms I see with the mod installed:

User hits the register button and sees the two options - paid and free. He hits free, fills out the fields and hits 'complete registration'. He is not logged in at this stage. He sees the standard vb "thankyou for registering, activation link in the email etc" message. If he tries to view anything on the forum at this stage he gets the standard vb "you do not have permission" message. That's odd because at that stage he has guest viewing permissions.

So, off he goes to his email inbox, opens my email and hits the activation link: hitting the link does not log him in and he instantly sees the standard vb "you do not have permission" message. He can't navigate anywhere as he sees that message whatever he does. He goes away

That's what I am seeing with the mod installed. As I say, if I remove the mod everything works as normal and users are able to register.

Just a quick follow-up: if I deselect 'verify email address during registration' the mod works as intended.
