Javascript is not active, please activate Javascript for registration! - CalleZorro - 2015-02-09 Hello. If needed, my forum is at www.MarriedAndHappy.com/Forum Recently upgraded to 1.8... I've since had two different people...who were attempting to register for my forum...get this error: Please correct the following errors before continuing: Javascript is not active, please activate Javascript for registration! Both individuals were technically savvy enough to confirm that Javascript was in fact active on their system. I followed up by having them go to http://www.activatejavascript.org/ which also confirmed that Javascript was active on their systems. One user was on a Windows 7 platform...and had the same error in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. The other user had 3 different Windows 8.1 systems...and both Internet Explorer v11 and Chrome v40. To get around the problem, I simply created a forum account through the admin control panel for both individuals and they were both able to log in and use the forum with no problems. How do I make sure no other new users have problems registering for my forum? RE: Javascript is not active, please activate Javascript for registration! - mmadhankumar - 2015-02-10 that is not a MyBB related error... i would believe a plugin causing this... disable all plugins and ask those members to try registering again... Admin CP >> Configuration >> General Configuration >> Disable All Plugins >> Yes RE: Javascript is not active, please activate Javascript for registration! - CalleZorro - 2015-02-18 Thanks mmadhankumar. You were right...and I found the source of the problem... Javascript Bot Protection (1.1) Plugin, that prohibits bots from registering using a hidden field that filled by Javascript. As long as bots don't parse Javascript, this can be used as a replacement for captchas. Created by Paul Wiedebusch Once I disabled this plugin, users no longer got the Javascript error.
