Hello

I would like some help or some pointers regarding a user registration problem.

I have a small website - that has not had a lot of traffic, but I do notice from my web stats that I am getting some traffic, but I am not getting any new members at all - did not think anything of it at first - it has been about 10 days since anyone registered - I was assuming that my site had no content that appealed to new comers (its about Linux) but today someone sent me an email telling they where unable to register.

I signed them up through the admin area, as I did for another member about 6 days ago (but at the time I put the problems down to the user)
When I sign them up - it works fine they can log in and do as they wish.

I have tested the problem and I am also unable to register as a different user.

It says user registration was successful but I can't login it says user unkown - and if I look at my control panel the new users (my test users) are not appearing in the list - also when I check the database they are not been written to the database. AND I have tried putting the email address in the 'lost' password area it says there are no users with that email address.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Software firewall blocking HTTP REFERER? (privacy setting - can normally be overridden to allow access to "information about visited sites" on a per-site basis in the firewall configuration)

OOOOPS

I figured it out

I must have been testing it in the same way that new users where using it.

I have enabled automatically activate.

it seems if you dont click finish at the end then the account is not activated.

is there a way I can inform users they need to press finish if they want to sign up?
