It was a lot of reference to read on the two links you provided but I finally got through them all.
1. in all cases it was a reported random problem this is not the case in my situation. If you read my post I can access the registration form with a work around.
2.In almost all reported cases it is not just a IIS problem. It is a combination of including but not limited to: Windows 2003,IIS6,MYSQL,PHP, Fast processer speed on the server(causing timeout issues with PHP),multiple frames and imbedded images in the form. Wich In my case this is all true.
Bottom line is I can repeat the error every time not at random.
Ubbthreads is now totally useless to me if net new users can't register. Unless I provide the work around to access the registration screen or revert back to UBB7.1 or abandon UBB and go elsewhere(Snitz? last resort).
In looking at the new scripts I noticed that most of the registration process has changed. 7.1 had the board rules and registration on one page. Also now if you enable the Avatar option on registration you get multiple forms with multiple submit buttons. When you select proceed in the board rules form the redirect takes you /forums/ubbthreads.php not /forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=newuser.
I would like to disable the board rules requirement to at least see if someone can register but I don't see a option in the control panel anymore to turn it off like the age check option.
LAST OPTION IS TO HACK THE CODE TO TURN OFF BOARD RULES.
So far I found it looks like the script in question is /scripts/newuser.php but I am still researching what to hack.
I have been using this forum since the classic 5x series and have very few issues till now but I am at a point that now I am very very frustrated.
