No clue why, but I can confirm that is exactly what happened to me when I registered for the test account that bogart suggested earlier.

Spam posts has been almost zero the last couple of weeks I've been wondering what has been going on.

True, it'd put a damper on new spammers... though it might sorta affect growth overall.

Based on the most recent new member it's been down since mid-March. I've tried to bring in a new member or two and running into the same problem with all of them. Gotta love those security updates... kinda like running Norton... it'll protect you from viruses by keeping you off the net entirely. :P

FTR - Will and memenode got the registration working again {kudos }, and I drug in someone to get the link in registration pointing to the rules to point to the rules instead of looping back to registration.

We're back up and running as far as adding new members is concerned.

I stand corrected... I see we have some making it in, but in two cases today it didnt send registration emails. If anyone hears of issues getting in, drop us a note here. Working on figuring out the issues. [Arent updates fun?]

I normally access the site via FireFox and lately the site doesn't fully load. I was thinking that my ip had been blocked for weeks now. But when I use Chrome I can load the forums.

Andy - Changed your view status from Forum Default to Vb4 Default. IIRC those should be same, but worth a check.

Give it another shot with FF and see if that changes anything.

Other than that... after checking to see if that has any effect, might try dumping the associated cookies and give it a shot.

Rob - after deleting the netbuilders cookie in FF the forum loads ok.

Cool. Thanks for verifying.
