I just made a new site, and it won't let new members join, it tells them a admin is not allowing new members when they try to register. I went into my control panel, and the allow new members box is checked as Yes... so why can't they register?

Try it http://robert-the-bruce.darkbb.com/

Click Register, and it won't let you....

Hello,

Can you please check if you are still allowing new members?
Admin panel >> Users & Groups > Options > Allow new members = yes > Save.
It should then allow new members.

I'm aware that you said you did it, but I would like to make sure

Yes Sir, here is the screen shot if it....

hmmm

Can you try changing the automatic activation to user or admin for about 30 mins and see if it still gives the error please

tried to change it, still doesn't work....

I coinside here.

Have you added any new codes recently, edited the CSS, or templates?

I changed the homepage a little, but even when I change the templete, it still doesn't work, I never went into the CSS and changed anything though. Just the portal in the management section
