    When I click the link in my email to activate a new test account, I get the following EE error message: “The URI you submitted has disallowed characters”. I just recently upgraded to EE 2.1.3 and don’t recall having this issue in the past. Here’s a link to my registration page:

    Thanks for your help!

    UPDATE: It looks like the question mark is the issue. When I replace it to an ampersand, the account is activated. Now, the question is how do I fix this issue in Expression Engine? Below is an example of the default URL:

    Hue Labs,

    Can you test with your htaccess renamed and index.php back as the site’s index please?

    John, it appears that when I did the EE 2.1.3 update some files must not have updated correctly. I upgraded again and everything works properly!

    Thanks,

    Steve
