Banned on signup!

No.. Mike can read can't he? Have him get his narrow behind in here. Yeesh! I don't even know Mike's email address.
BTW: Checking with the podBB site, it appears there's no fix for this, they aren't even aware of it. Ugh.

 

mike owns podBB

 

I thought Mike was the guy who owned this site...??? Or are they the same person?
PodBB is a hack for phpBB, so I'm confused. They're obviously two different people, right?
Anyway, I'd go back to standard phpBB and forget the hack, if it's preventing new users from joining it's not really such a good idea, ya know?

 

Ok heres the problem...
Its has nothing to do with PodBB but something to do with the DB, mikes already tried putting up phpBB didn't fix it (remember that error u's got awhile ago?)
Mike runs PodBB (same mike as the owner here)
He is trying to save up abit of money to get us another vbulletin license.

 

vbulletin won't solve the problem if it's in the database, if that's the problem then he's going to have to do one of two things.
1. Rebuild the whole database.
2. Switch hosting services.
I'm going to assume it's an MySQL database, since that's the most common. If it's the hosting service that has the problem then there's little he can do to fix it. VBulletin is a freaking joke actually. You pay for something that's essentially a complete ripoff of phpBB without the ability to customize it as much. I say screw those ripoff artists.
I really doubt that it's a database problem because of the error that's reporting back (i.e. banning on signup). The database doesn't have anything at all to do with that, that's all a function of the forum software. Since I use phpBB on many different sites and have never had this happen, I'm tending to still lean towards it being a problem with the pod hack, since that's the difference between this site and a stock phpBB site.

 

I will get mike to switch it to normal phpBB, and see if its fully functional ok?

 

Well, that's a step in the right direction at least. If that doesn't work, here's a suggestion. Install a clean copy of phpBB on the server and post a link to it here, if we can log in to it as new users then we know it's not the database itself that's at fault.

 

I will tell mike, he still doesn't think its his Mod ""hack""

 

Of course he doesn't. He wrote it and would like to think he knows everything it would do and understand why it couldn't be the problem. I can understand that line of thinking. But ya know, when you eliminate all other possibilities, whatever is left, no matter how improbible, must be the truth. Or at least, some smart guy said that once.

 

now mikes an inverse of me, i know the problems in my games ... and i attempt to fix them one is that it makes ur computer bluescreen if u hit the z button

 

which game was that in? Remind me never to buy any games from UnholyStudios

 

u dont buy games from unholystudios, u play them. i aint charging, Donations only

 

I meant in the future, not now.

 

...bzzt! Topic infringment, 10 yard penalty!

 

10 yard penalty!????????
man theres no "10 yard penalty!" policy here.
Yes in the future and now i am not going to charge people to play games i make, they only donate (they would get free stuff normally in the games that a MMO) But then still it doesn't cost more then Half runescape prices to pay for a premium game use (extra stuff)

 

yeah. But if you are gonna make any GOOD gamems that are worthwhile playing, you're gonna need funding.

 

ummm runescape neva had funding, it made some people want to play it.
i am currently trying to make a cross between Never Winter Nights, Tibia (some of the good things about tibia), runescape and baldurs gate.

 

Good luck to you on that :|

 

Again, what's that got to do with the price of tea in China?

 

and what does the price of tea in China have to do with people being banned on signup? We've changed topic dude...
