This question may be related to a resolved thread.

I am having the exact problem as described in the issue above. We are getting dozens of spam member registrations a day, and I am unable to change the settings to forbid people from registering. The solution worked for the original poster, but I am unable to save the new server paths to all three preference pages simultaneously. Am I missing something? I am using version. 1.6.1. Thank you!

Hi Evelyn,

Are you receiving the errors if you set “Allow New Member Registrations?” to “No”?

If you need to change the paths, you can “click through” the Avatar, Member Photo, and Signature preference “panes” and set the values, then click update once. The Control Panel doesn’t do a full page load, those panes are part of the same overall form/interface.

Does that help clarify this for you?

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, that is what was happening. However, by continuing to correct the server paths and URLs in the Avatar, Member Photo, and Signatures panes, I was finally able to make it stick and then change the “Allow New Member Registrations” to “No”. I am all set!

Evelyn,

Excellent! If you need anything from us in the future, just let us know!

Cheers!
