bump.
I made a test topic to see exactly what you meant, it seems that your redirect template is blank? I am not totally sure though about this.
To check, just login to your ADMIN CP then go to that particular skin in use and then click Edit HTML Templates, click All Global HTML, and edit "Redirect". Is it blank? If so, then this should be there. I'm not totally sure about this anymore though, finding out what else may cause this, since I think I am wrong.
as well as the following under "show data variables" so click that and add this, if it is not there.
and as I posted in the test topic I made, which you can delete. I suggested that you might want to disable the ability for guests to make topics and posts in all the forums.

sucks dont it!
Check your cookie seetings if you can't stay logged in, you probably have them wrong or not there at all. 
it's not a cookie problem .. I can stay logged in.
When I post a thread or reply, I get a blank page after posting. it is completely a script problem with IPB

I use 2.0.3 as well as other forums I belong too, it's not a problem with the script. Can't be, seems to be something you, the clients did. To me I thought it was a skin problem, still actually might be. I just can't seem to find anything yet, will look again later though. I did not think it'd be what I posted but doesn't hurt to try.
I would go and make sure you have uploaded every single file needed, might of not uploaded a file completely or did not at all. Just a suggestion.
As for those having cookie problems, you must of not set your cookie settings properly in the admin cp. So go and make sure you have.

Did you go and make sure all the source files were uploaded correctly?
In the ADMIN CP, go to your Settings and then Security and Privacy. Under Enable Script/Bot Flood Control? change it to Normal, and then see if that fixes your problem with the registration confirm code.
Also in the ADMIN CP, go to Maintenance then Recount & Rebuild. Set everything to No except Reset last registered member, then click Reset these statistics. See if that fixes your new registered member problem.

When you go to a password protected forum, it stores a cookie, if I recall correctly.
I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with your cookie settings. Do you mind posting them here, so we can make sure?
So the blank page when posting a new topic or reply is now fixed? If that is the case, glad to hear that.
To stop admin verification login to your admin cp and then go to View All General Settings. Then under Security and Privacy you'll see "New registration email validation?" select None in the drop down box to the right of it, unless you want to turn on User E-mail Verification instead.
Also post your cookie settings as tm said so we can fix your problem with that.

Cookie Domain
Hint: use .your-domain.com for global cookie
Cookie Name Prefix
Allows multiple boards on one host.
Cookie Path
Relative path from domain to root IBF dir
They are all blank.
are there any more settings anywhere?
if you want to see what i mean the password for the prottected forum near the bottom is "test" without the quotes.

this has happened to my board before.
i believe it is a skin problem
log into the admin cp and go to skins and templates > skin tools > Update Members Skin Choice and make sure everyone has the same skin.
this should work
clear your cookies aswell

@fatjoe151, that problem has been resolved. If you would of actually read all of our replies. sigh.
@Munky00, the problem is because your cookie settings are all blank, you need to set them to be able to stay logged in.
So lets fix that problem.
For "Cookie Domain" put the following: .cross-hatch.co.uk
For "Cookie Name Prefix" put the following: leave blank, does not matter, unless you plan to have multiple boards.
For "Cookie Path" put the following: /forums/
Those cookie settings should work where you stay logged in. I say should because people are using http://forums.cross-hatch.co.uk/index.php to get to your forum instead of http://www.cross-hatch.co.uk/forums/ so they should work still though. Unless someone wants to correct me on what I said to set, go ahead.

ok i did that saved the setting, logged out and deleted the cookies from the board, logged in again and it let me in first time woooo!...... just hope it keeps it like that.
I have one other problem (sorry for so many questions)
When i click on the icon to "mark all posts as read" it doesnt actually mark all posts as read

Actually mistical, the way I would set up the settings would be:
Cookie Domain // .cross-hatch.co.uk
Cookie Name Prefix // forums
Cookie Path // (blank)
Those are the settings I use for my forum, I haven't had any problems at all.
Either way probably works thou.

Weird tm, since the cookie name prefix is for if you have multiple boards installed.
For example, say you had /forum1 and /forum2 - 2 forums right. You'd put under the cookie settings name prefix for /forum1 as forum1 or any name you wanted and then the same for the other forum, but naming it forum2 or anything else.
That's just my take on it though, because the description for Cookie Name Prefix is for if you have multiple domains and the Path is for where the forum is installed, so if it was in the www.site.com/forum, the domain would be .site.com and the path /forum/ but say you had hosted someone, the domain would remain .site.com but you'd use /whatever/forum/
If I am totally wrong on all of this, someone, please correct me. I don't want to look like an idiot or anything if I am wrong, just want to be correct if I am.
Then again tm, you said you have no problems, so oh well.

Probably is. And I do have multiple boards installed so yeah. [one for testing and one that's public].
Eh, as long as it works, i'm not complaining. *shrug*
If anyone wants to bother correcting both of us, go for it.
