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.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Legend20 · Posted

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
