New members cannot log-in. Even some old members cannot log-in.

New members cannot log-in. Even some old members cannot log-in.
I've gone through lots of the support options with no luck.
Some of the new members can log-in and register, many others cannot.
I'm using 2.0.4 with Windows service pack 3 on XP.
I have not changed any code into this for as long as I've had it. Somethings wrong and I'm trying to figure out what ??
Hoping for help !
THANKS

Well what is being displayed when they try to login?

[sammy1028]

 They join into the registration page, and that's all they get. It looks like they have successfully joined, then it takes them to a log-in page that doesn't work, even after being approved.
Every once in a while one will be able to register and join, but that's far and few between.
I do have the settings set to "admin approval"

url?

[Kindred]

I just registered...  approve my account?

Also...  your "question" is not goign to prevent spam...   anything that comes up as the first answer in google is not a good question.

[sammy1028]

Yes, I did approve you. As I said some people can register, while others seen to be locked out
Would it help if I made you admin ? Did you get the email the site is suppose to send out??
I also noticed that alot of times when I click onto a board I recieved a message that was posted, and deleted from last winter.
Somethings wrong but I just can't put my finger on it.

So, when these members attempt to log in, what happens, EXACTLY?

What error are you getting?

What's in your error log?

[Kindred]

and no... I never got an email... nor did I get an email when I requested a lost password...

[sammy1028]

 My error log remains empty.
Members tell me when they try to log-in they just get a blank page. No error message, just blank.
As I said before they do not recieve email notifications, and why this is limited to only some people is something I don't understand.
This is mostly limited to new members, but a few of my old timers cannot log-in either.
I have not changed any of the code in this part of the site for over ten years.
I've discussed this with my hosting company and they say it's not on thier end.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Registered couple hours ago, did not receive registration email.  Did you get activation notice?

[sammy1028]

 Yes I did, and I did approve you.
Any suggestions??
Thanks !

[Sir Osis of Liver]

I can login/logout no problem.  Did not receive any emails from your forum.

[sammy1028]

 Ok, any suggestions on how to fix the email problem ?
By fixing that problem it may just solve the other problems. Least I'm hoping so !
Thanks Everyone !!

[Sir Osis of Liver]

I think they're two separate problems. 

- Do you have the email option enabled in Admin -> Registration -> Settings?

- Try changing the cookie name in Admin -> Server Settings -> Cookies and Sessions.  This will log everyone out and let them start with a fresh cookie.

[sammy1028]

 Yes, email option is enabled.
I changed the cookie name so I'll sit back for a day or two and see if that helps.
Thank You

[sammy1028]

 That didn't seem to help.
I am wondering, I noticed I have 44 pages of members who are on the ban log. How-ever I only show 3 pages of banned members in my ban list.
Could one of my extensions be causing this problem ?

[Sir Osis of Liver]

It's always possible that a mod can be causing a problem, sometimes by conflicting with another mod.  You can try uninstalling your anti-spam mods (looks like you have two) and see if the problem clears.  The ban log will add an entry every time a banned member hits your forum.  If you're being hammered by banned bots, this can run up a lot of crap in the log.

I'm still able to login/out no problem.  It would help if I could see the problem.  Can you provide a username/password that can't login?
