Yes, I read the FAQ prior to installing. I followed your installation instructions to the letter - at least six times.
Perhaps instead of a weak attempt at humour: I should have said: 'why does the mod tell the user that his user name is too short when he never actually entered a user name?'
Sent a PM so we can resolve this!

In the interim, I just sent the author a PayPal donation to encourage his on-going efforts ...

ps: Edit: Why does the username field need to be changed to 30 characters? We had reduced ours to 15 as it takes up a lot of postbit space.
The mod has been in production for a while, we are just getting a lot of great ideas and making improvements very quickly! Once we reach 2.0 I don't think there will be much more to add to this. Never know, though.
Ghost users are created with the username "Paid Subscription N" the first to ninth ghost users take up 19 characters. Tenth to ninety-ninth take up 20, and so on. I chose 25 because that is the default in vBulletin and it accomodates many ghost users. Unless you are a board with hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of users, you don't have to raise it to 30.
I completely forgot that username length validation can be skipped completely. You will no longer need to adjust your username maximum length setting; this fix will come as 1.9.

I pretended to be an unregistered guest and selected the "Register Here" link. It went immediately to the "free" standard registration screen, not the paid options one. There was a line at the very top which indicated I could return to the paid options screen if I wanted to, by clicking on a link. I clicked that link and it took me there.
I guess what I don't understand is why it would take me to the free regular screen immediately, without starting from the paid options screen?
Is it because the particular computer I'm working on would have had some kind of "cookie" left over from previous testing and so it thought I had already been through the paid options screen once already?
Correct! If you clicked on the free option and never finalized registration, when you click on the register button it will take you directly there next time.

Thanks very much for the 1.9 update! It fixed the problem I was having :up:
I have a new problem though unfortunately. With 'Verify Email address in Registration' set in admincp and the mod installed I am finding that new members are not being automatically logged in when they click on the activation link in the email they receive after initial registration.
If I remove your mod and the template change to register.php all is good with new registrations. Any ideas?

This may be a new bug. I am going to test this a bit and release the fix with 2.0.
I registered, and after registration I logged out. Then, I clicked the activation link and it said I can proceed to my profile, but I was still logged out. This was the same with the modification installed and uninstalled; I think this is a vBulletin bug rather than a bug with the product... o.o
Can you explain your case a bit more since I was not able to reproduce the problem the same way?
