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.

&lt;html&gt;
	&lt;head&gt;
 ?&lt;title&gt;{ipb.lang['stand_by']}&lt;/title&gt;
 ?&lt;meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; url=$Url" /&gt;
 ?&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; &lt;/script&gt;
 ?$css
	&lt;/head&gt;
	&lt;body&gt;
 ?&lt;div id="redirectwrap"&gt;
 ?	&lt;h4&gt;{ipb.lang['thanks']}&lt;/h4&gt;
 ?	&lt;p&gt;$Text&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;{ipb.lang['transfer_you']}&lt;/p&gt;
 ?	&lt;p class="redirectfoot"&gt;(&lt;a href="$Url"&gt;{ipb.lang['dont_wait']}&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
 ?&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

as well as the following under "show data variables" so click that and add this, if it is not there.

$Text="",$Url="",$css=""

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.

where do i find the place to put this???

May 10, 2005

it seems i double posted! my bad!

oh yeh... it wont let me stay logged in either. :( any help on that would be great!

thankyou

May 10, 2005

:( the redirect thing still doesnt work.

i think i will just re-install my forum.

May 10, 2005

I've got the same problem.

I cannot re-install the forum, becuase I have 10,00_ registered users ... there must be a fix surely ???

May 10, 2005

:( sucks dont it!

May 11, 2005

Check your cookie seetings if you can't stay logged in, you probably have them wrong or not there at all. ;)

May 11, 2005

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

May 11, 2005

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.

May 11, 2005

okey dokey. i appreciate your help.

May 11, 2005

:( many more problems have risen..... im just gonna bail out and go back to phpbb2 :(

What problems have you still got?

Also have you installed any MODS lately?

May 11, 2005

havent installed any mods....

When i login i click on a topic then says im not logged in when it opens the topic page.

The new registered member thing doesnt show newly registered members

The anti spam registration confirm code thing doesnt work

All of this from upgrading to 2.0.4 and now the settings are saved in my database backup and i cant revert them back :'(

May 11, 2005

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.

May 11, 2005

ok done those they worked thanks

how do i stop admin verification on newly registered users?

edit:

OMG THIS IS SERIOUSLY CRAP!!!!!! When i make a password protected forum and put the right password in, it keeps taking me back to the password input page over and over again!

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? :)

May 12, 2005

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.

May 12, 2005

ok this is driving me crazy now.... i cant even log in! :@

i must of tried at least 30 times. I am using the correct password, it says i successfully logged in on the redirect page but then takes me back to the index where it says im not logged in! :@:@:@ help me somebody please!!!!

May 12, 2005

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

May 13, 2005

nope that didnt work. :( this is seriously annoying. anybody else have any suggestions??

May 13, 2005

@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.
