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.

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

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.

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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.
