For the Guest account I unchecked the "Is Approved" checkbox before creating my first user account via the self-registration form. And I got the exception! I checked "Is Approved" back on and now I can register.

Is this by design?! I would prefer not to have a Guest account at all. Since I don't especially want to redo everything Yet Another Time 🙂 do anybody know if I should just delete the Guest account instead, or must it remain active for some reason?

Isn't that an option?

But I don't think you can delete the quest account, because how do you register? I mean, when you first enter the site/forum, you are....someone? right? So, you are a guest. This guest can register.

So, the solution is to set the forum rights in a way that quest cannot do much but register.

Good suggestion... yeah, just an oversight. It's been fixed to disallow that option.
