Title: Registration 404 error
Post by: Dogs on April 15, 2014, 04:55:55 pm
Hello, I just registered here!
But, while I was try to do so, I kept getting 404'd, meaning FH couldn't find the page. That's a pretty big problem if the registration page is an error, it frustrates potential new users who've been waiting a long time to get an account. Finally seeing registration is open, but then getting 404'd when trying to register, is terrible.
Bypassing that error took me a sec, but here's what you do:
Clicking "Create an account" will take you to this: (http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt127/qwertyo/asds_zpsf962cc08.png)
A 404, not good, and incredibly frustrating after stalking FH for registration. See how it says /index.php/ was not found? That's the problem. All you gotta do is delete that from the URL, like so:
The page will be fixed, and you're free to register :)
Hope this helps people out!

Very helpful, indeed. I'm sure a lot of people will bump into this issue. Me myself have, in the past.
Though, I believe it's posted in the wrong section of the forum as you're not in need of any help, as far as I can understand. ^^

Good to see it's helpful!
Uh, well I couldn't think of a good place to post.
I assumed this would be the best place because it would help out users and guests who were seeking help for this problem. Before I registered, I made a bee-line to the forum to find out how to fix this, since it seemed like the obvious place to find the answer.

Nudged our server master today again regarding this issue since it has been nipping onto a few of our links here and there for a while now. Hopefully it can be sorted shortly so this action shouldn't be needed to get where the links lead.
Thanks for this in the meantime as some might find use of it.
