This is an issue with your custom style

I am able to successfully register with the default style but can replicate the problem with the custom style.

I see, it was a mod I got from http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...light=register

Ill sort this, thanks Ali

The custom style doesnt have the above mod, Ill see if changing the image size works.

Yes it is actually that, though not for the reason you mention.

The css is interfering with the registration form.

Since I have admin access to this forum as I have been working on another issue on it today, I have removed it (commented out the code) and it fixes the problem in the custom style.

The image is now gone Mark, I was wanting to keep it to try encourage guest to become registered members, is there any way to keep the register image?

I have PMd you on that, but basically:

Yes in theory there is, you would need to make it show on every page EXCEPT the registration page (you don't want it there as they are already registering, plus it partially obscures the submit buttons).

However - my concern is, if it breaks a form on the registration page, then it will probably break forms on other pages. Although this might not matter if people aren't logged in anyway, it could cause unexpected issues.

Was it an actual mod for vBulletin? If so, I'd go back to whoever wrote it and ask them to fix these issues.

If it was just some generic register prompting code, I would personally consider ditching it and looking on www.vbulletin.org, there are mods there you can use that will achieve a similar effect which are designed for vB and won't break things.

yes, you can use if this script not register then show the image
like that :

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'register'">code if script not register !</if> 

for more mods vBulletin.org .

That conditional would not work on vB4, needs to be <vb:if> format for vB4. <if> is vB3 code.

Anyhow as it transpires this mod *does* break other things so it needs to go to the mod author to be fixed.
This is the mod, for reference:

3. Open your "header" template and add the following line on top:

To show it on every page EXCEP THE REGISTER PAGE, add this code:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'register'">
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']"><a href="/register.php"><div class="forcetoregister"></div></a></vb:if>
</vb:if>

Thats the code I copyied previously, but as you know it still showed it on the registration page.

I would honestly leave this mod alone now until the author sorts it out. It's going to cause more problems than it solves.

You can use the notice system to promote signing up to guests....there is a default notice already included, change the wording of it though to something that describes your forum and entices people in.

I will leave it alone until the author gets back to me.
