Can't register when have to be registered/logged in to view boards

[Susan]

We decided to take our boards to a new level...you have to be registered and logged in in order to view them. However, when you make it so that those unregistered/not logged in can't read the boards, if they click the "register" button, they can't register either...it takes them right back to the "you aren't registered/logged in" page. Is there a fix for this? I've looked and not found anything on the subject.

Yes - I can see that creating somewhat of a problem. To fix this, you need to make a few changes to the code. Delete all occurences of this code from the first 200 lines of member.php (there should be 3 in total):

[code]
$permissions=getpermissions($bbuserid,$bbusergroupid);
if ($permissions[canview]!=1) {
eval("echo standarderror(\$bbtitle,\"".gettemplate("error_nopermission")."\");");
exit;
}
[/code]

This will allow unregistered users to register.

This fix will be included in the next version.

Thanks for the fix, John! Is the next version coming out soon? I'd rather not hack into the script (I had enough of that with UBB) if I don't have to.

Some time in the next week, I hope.
