[Forum] My forum won't let people register.

[nkscouting]

When people try to register on my forum that I have for my website (http://www.nkscouting.com)
all they get is a blank page. I would appreciate it if someone could help me.

Please see the link below for known causes of blank or white pages and the steps to resolve these:

Unfortunately, all of the suggestions are over my head. I own a copy of vbulletin and that's all I know about it.

Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Sorry, I'm going to have to pay a professional who can come over to my house to solve the problem. I don't know how to disable anything. )

Use a plain text editor like notepad++ (assuming you are on a PC) and make the change to your config.php file and then upload it to your server. You may want to keep a copy of the unedited config.php file also.

Me too, this time last year I knew nothing about vbulletin.
I bought a vbulletin book on ebay, read that and have gone from strength to strength.
I still get stuck from time to time.

Just make a backup of any file you are messing around with and then give it a go.

If you are in the UK you can have my vBulletin book for the cost of the postage.
I have outgrown it now.
