I have disabled the ability to directly register at the forums (
http://www.rabidspacemonkeys.com/phpBB3). They should be registering from the front page at
http://www.rabidspacemonkeys.com. The first time the user goes into the forums, with the help of SSI (Single Sign In), the user record will be automagically created in the phpBB3 users table, so if someone registers then says "I need access to the Guild forums", they have to attempt to access the forums first, otherwise the admins and moderators will not be able to add them to the correct usergroups.
The reason for this disabling, is because we want our members to sign in on the front page, and not have to sign in again at the forums. We are working towards having a more consistent look throughout the website, and this is the first step in that look.
There is a connector component running in the background that automatically signs people in to the forums from the main Joomla! site. I noticed a few (10-15) mismatched records between the two databases and have reconciled and automatically linked the accounts so the SSI issue should be resolved.
Any questions, please PM on the forums or e-mail me at
barthius@rabidspacemonkeys.comThanks,
Rob
