Topic: Register problem

I am not sure if this is a bug in PunBB, but a problem for sure.

When I try to register a new name in for example PunBB and by mistake confirm with a wrong e-mail address and then go back from the info page the register button is locked up. This happens to me in Firefox Version 2.0.0.4. The same happens if you confirm wrong image verification and go back from info page. I have to refresh the register page to get it to work.
Sorry if somebody already reported this, but I could not find it anywhere.

I do not get this problem in IE6 however.

Re: Register problem

It's because Firefox caches the last version of the page (modified by Javascript). The function is there to prevent users clicking the button twice when the site is lagging for example. Not much can be done about it except for removing the Javascript code.

if u want to repair it, you must ask administrator to delete your account or change email
if he deletes your account, u can do next:
press back
press refresh

that isnt entirly what he ment.

it happens to me and is rather annoying, but i guess its good in sum way!

normaly on a submit page (install mostly for me, but any submit normaly) you click and didnt do something right, you have to go back a fix it, in FF the button will be unclicable due to the cache.

he didnt get time to create the account so there isnt one to get rid of.

Sorry. Unactive due to personal life.
