The site is http://mike-warren.net/sp/ It’s a test site that will just be scrapped when I’m finished. Would you like me to PM you admin access details?

I must be going loopy. I don’t remember checking “Subscriber”.

I’ll try again with that unchecked and the forum url listed as the redirect.

you have allowed subscribers access…

whoops…typing at same time

Yep. And now registration works exactly as I would expect it. No wonder you weren’t understanding what I was trying to explain.

Sorry.

no worries. glad its resolved.
