    Technical Details


    Forum version : #PunBB
    Position : Founder
    Concerned browser(s) : Internet Explorer
    Screenshot of problem : https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/13/76/91/31/joined10.jpg
    Who the problem concerns : All members
    When the problem appeared : April 8th
    Forum link : http://omma.forumotion.com

    Description of problem

    When a new user registers they are taken to the page in the screenshot. They must then click the red text to be taken to the Index. Then they must execute a couple more clicks just to get to the rules, guidelines and site information they need. I've tried a few things to shorten this path but its still too many clicks. I want to make this process much easier and I have two suggestions. Either will do.

    1) After a new member agrees to the terms of service I want the forum to automatically redirected to a specific thread or page instead of the page in the screenshot.

    2) If the above isn't possible I want to add a link to the white area in the screenshot under the current link that will take them to a specific thread or page. The thread will contain all the information, rules, etc needed for new members.

    Either way this is much easier for new members as they are taken straight to where they need to go upon registration instead having to click around. Are either of these suggestions possible?

    Thanks for the response guys. That's unfortunate. Is there any way to achieve what I want? Any work around or alternate idea? I cant accept that there is literally nothing possible to bypass this problem?

    The registration process can not be changed because it contains legal information.   The only thing you can do is add information to the rules page and add profile fields to the registration process.  You can not remove any page or hide the default information and copyrights.
