I suspect it's just some file that I forgot to download from the update install. Any ideas?

Can you post the full error message?

The error only suggest that one of the files is empty or not correctly formatted. Did you try to copy and replace all files from remote to local again?

Is that issue happening when you press login or as soon as you want to to open the login page?

I have done two things. I've downloaded the complete site as it is online and still get the same problem. I have also tried downloading and setting up the Sample Application as it, editing only the connection string, and it throws the same problem as well.

I suspect it's something to do with the URLRewriter. It seems to be trying to go to a page called yaf_login.aspx which does not exist; I'm assuming that's a holdover from an earlier version of YAF.

Ok now we are getting closer to the problem is that the login link from within the forum or from inside your application?

If you are using the default urlrewriter config the link should work. If you are using an modified version can you post the content here?

It's inside the application. I haven't done any modifications to the URLRewriter.

Did you try to simply update the login link in your main application?

I should also note that I used the YAF Sample Application and have had this problem right out of the box.

Once again ... this is just happening when I try to run it on my local machine. if I upload it exactly like it is onto webspace, it works like a charm.

What happens when you turn off url rewriting completly in the app.config?

 <add key="YAF.EnableURLRewriting" value="false" />

 <add key="YAF.EnableURLRewriting" value="false" />

Same thing.
