i think i found the solution??

i did a backup of the database.. once backed up it looks like i can register again.

does 1.9.3 require real complex passwords like "Tornado+1" as opposed to "tornado"?

I'm curious on how doing a database backup helped?

I've run into the issue where there is no "Register" link showing up, but the "Log In" link is there.

Of course I tried backing up the Database, but it didn't help me... 🙂 Anything else you did?

possibly useful info:

YAF 1.9.3 upgraded from 1.9.1.8

Windows Server 2008 running in a cloud

SQLExpress 2008

IIS7

.NET 2.0

Default web.configs do require a complex password. You want the password complexitiy settings for the membership provider to make it easier...

Odd you were getting that exceptiont though.

yeah it was weird, first no one could log in. then you clued me into using the 191 webconfig, so i pulled the one from my 1.9.3 RC setup that i still had (cuz it was a 191 to 193RC2 upgraded site), and they could log in

as an admin, i couldnt even add a user.. the screen would just blink at me.

after doing a full backup and shrinking the database, users could register, albiet, its telling them they need a complex password that needs apparently, 8 charecters, one upper case , a number , AND a special charecter.
