Registering Users - help!

Registering Users - help!

I just downloaded and installed the new 1.2.1 Standard edition.

The installation went smoothly, except for wanting a new directory created - which I did and everything went fine.

I tested the user registration feature. First problem was that in activate.php, register.php and upanel.php - the name of the userqueue table was misspelled as "quere". Fixed that.

Now I am having another problem with user registration and don't know the cause:

Whenever I try to register a user, the security code is always the same, and even though no users have registered, I always get an error that says: "You or this username is already registered."

I've cleaned out cache and cookies, and even tried from a different computer.

If I do something radical - like put in an .htaccess that makes the site not work by redefining everything as a download and then changing it back - the security code will change once I remove the .htaccess - but registration still doesn't work - it tells me that the security code is invalid.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks Phillip!

There really was nothing wrong at all - I just didn't understand how it worked. You are absolutely right - I used the same Email address for my test user as for myself as admin - and that was the source of the problem. A glance at the code for selecting the security code shows exactly that - it changes hourly.

Thank you very much for your help!

Did you used your admin email address? Is the bbwrapper.php module installed?
