I've been trying to test what happens when you do or don't specify a password when registering and when you do or don't enter your email address correctly. But now I'm getting these VERY strange email messages to the specified email address, like:
"Someone from the ip address '\' registered the Login Name '\testy4'. The password for this Login Name is '\'"
<img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
And it seems to take a long time to get this supposedly confirmatory message. Maybe that has something to do with my ISP, or maybe with when the message comes from the hosting service for "threads" (in this case Inpopop).
As for the strange "\"s etc, I should say that in doing this testing sometimes I would have more than one copy of my board open in browser windows when I was doing this testing, so that I would have been logged on as administrator, then gone to another window and logged off, then signed up a new user...thought this would be OK, because when I log off, that would log me off in both windows...right? (Even though the original window would still be showing on the screen as if I were logged on as administrator; if I updated the screen, it would show me logged off...)

Anyway...any thoughts would be welcome - Tony
