Hello! I edited this post to reflect where I'm at now. I am not sure where I went wrong, but originally I thought I messed up my english.xml file and that was my original post, so I redownloaded english.xml and register.ascx, compared them to the ones I was using via Winmerge, and there weren't any differences ..... and my forum is working fine -- if you're a member.

But actually, I'm in the forum using my ID, and as an ADMIN, some things are timing out now! This has never happened before. For instance, when I try to edit a user's information (change their roles), it times out!

But what's really frustrating is that I'm unable to register new members; the browser simply times out when I click "register". Specifically, I get this error message:

Server Error in '/knowledgebase' Application.

Request timed out.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: Request timed out.

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Stack Trace:

[HttpException (0x80004005): Request timed out.]

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.272

It stinks because I know I finally introduced people to the forum last week, and I know I have people waiting to register. Thank you for any help you can offer!

If you need the original language file simply download the release and extract the english.xml file from there. But i don't know why there is a timeout there. i only see that the b tag is not closed (and please use strong not b).

Are there any errors in the Event log?

Hi Watcha! I edited my post to reflect what I did. I took out all the b and ol and li tags. I compared my English.xml file to a newly redownloaded one, as you suggested, and there's no difference. I really don't know what happened, but the registration keeps timing out on all browsers. I've cleared cookies, emptied temporary internet files, restarted my computer, etc., and the forum works if you're a member, but the registration doesn't work.

But actually, I'm in the forum using my ID, and as an ADMIN, some things are timing out now! This has never happened before. For instance, when I try to edit a user's information (change their roles), it times out! But I can delete posts and navigate the forum without timing out. And if I set debug to "true" in web.config, it just keeps loading forever, and never times out!

If it helps, Watcha, you're still registered under Ingo at The USS Knowledgebase forum. But if you check it out, don't waste too much time on me ... hehe

When I turn custom errors ON in my web.config, I get this error:

Forum Error

There has been a serious error loading the forum. No further information is available.

Please contact the administrator if this message persists.

Note: If you are the administrator, and need help with this problem, please visit this url: Turn off CustomErrors in your web.config.

Try Again

This one is frustrating! Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post Watcha ... I appreciate it!

You might double check your SQL server to see if you're having a space issue with a transaction logfile. Also connectivity issues or timeouts communicating with the database server can cause YAF to take forever to do things, because it will wait on the SQL server connection for however many seconds is defined in your db.config. I believe default is 30 or 45 seconds on a 'connection timeout' and like 60 or 90 seconds on a command execution timeout. Execution timeouts are controlled in YAF app.config -- connection timeout is controlled by connection string in db.config (add timeout=### to the end of it to change)...

I just ran into a situation today where a YAF forum was caught in infinite redirection loop (old version) because it could not communicate with the database server. It would spend many time waiting on SQL server and so forth... I could be wrong, but I might investigate that. In IIS, 0x80004005 response error almost always comes back to an issue talking to database, or timeout, or access denied issue - it's a "Generic Failure" code and in many many cases returns to an issue 'accessing something' or 'communicating with something' --

Hope this helps!

This issue has been traced back to a bad/corrupted YAF BBCode. Truncating the BBCode Table and re-importing the default YAF BBCodes has resolved this issue. Not sure why it affected registrations, but it definitely affected profile viewing (due to last 10 posts module on profile).

Yes, thank you for your time and efforts, Squirrel -- you've been extremely generous and helpful.

Indeed, I completely forgot that I added a few BBCodes to give more options in the signature, and apparently put some improper codes in there. I would have never solved this one without your help.

Thanks again Squirrel!
