Ok I have been getting, emails from future users....when they signup they cant log onto site. I found the reason why......after the (User Registration) after they agree to terms and SUBMIT it takes them to the second page.


Username: mikey123
Email: mikey123@hotmail.com
Time Zone: GMT -5

and then it has the little

FINISH

where the user is suppose to click to finish the register process....

well that button FINISH is just a text..and the user can not really tell its a BUTTON...do to the fact it does no act lik a button unless you actually click it. When you mouse over it...it seems like it is just text...the arrow point does not convert to a hand, like all other links.

What can I do about maybe making this lil FINISH button bigger....or maybe a have different Text I.E. (click here to Finish)

I really need to fix this...im losing maybe users by the hour...

I went to my register.php

I could not find anything in there to fix the problem

Thank you

most typical users 'should' be able to figure this out, but to point out the obvious for them you can edit the language files.

Go to /language/english/user.php and edit:

Section:
//%%%%%% File Name register.php %%%%%

Look for the following line and change the 'Finish' text inside the quotes to whatever you want, like 'Click to Finish' for example.

define('_US_FINISH','Finish');

Save and upload and it's all done.

Also note that you can control the look in CSS and sounds like yours is putting a less than obvious link there. The plain 'ole blue underlined links worked fine in the past. Or maybe your users never heard of such things....

BTW, mine is a basic Submit button and still says "Finish".
