Hah - figured that as the details were missing from the Profile module to just reinstall and hey presto, problems solved. I suspect that there might have been a problem with spyware (mycomputertotalscann11.com did pop up at one point) when I did the original install. This time I did it a lot quicker

Hi Ghia
Yes both User Profile and Private Messaging are enabled. Have checked the Profile Module and Categories, Fields and Registration Steps are all empty. Suggests to me this is the problem? Not sure how to resolve.

Hi

I have a similar problem (new install of 2.3.3b with security patch and PHP 5.2.9).

The original error message was "Sorry you don't have permission to access this area" both for 'registration' and 'lost password'.

However, when I made PM accessible to anaonymous users, the 'lost password' now works but 'registration' still fails and the error is now "Registration is not allowed at this moment, please come back later"

I can probably live with it in the short-term. Any suggestions other suggestions(BTW I am using MySQL authentication but no speed issues)?

BTW thanks Ghia - that was a great suggestion.

Meant to say, "Allow new user registration" is checked
