    An account hasn't been created. It happens for everyone that tries to join its not just one member. Its a glitch or error.

    Hello,.
    What is the username they are trying to use? What is the ending of the e-mail addresses they are trying to register with? If any of them have periods or dashes or are else too short, the system might deny them because the e-mail address or part of the e-mail address is seen as a spammer e-mail account.

    Do any of the users already have an account?

    I probably should of been a little more descriptive. So whenever a user tries to register it gives them that error, which makes them think it didnt work. But it did actually work becuase they get a verify email and they are able to login. The problem isnt joining the problem is that they are getting an error that is wrong.

    So they are getting an email to verify their account, but on the forum they are getting an error message about the email while registering?

    Hello,

    Now that they actually have accounts, if they are trying with the same e-mail address then they have geniunelly triggered this error. Try asking them to try to register with a fake e-mail address and then see if it doesn't give them this error.Wink

    When does that error message exactly appear?  What did the person do right before it appeared?

    They entered in all the needed information, then when they hit next to where it asks you to confirm the password it game them that error instead of the message saying to verify their email.

    Post a message that guests can see that informs them that there is an issue, but their accounts have been made.

    You can post it in an announcement, in a widget, in the homepage message, etc.

    Until we figure out the issue.

    As this should not be going on and as i really cant see why this is going on i think our team should take a look

    Please understand we may not get a report back fast as there is lots of work going on right now and we are really busy.
