When using the wp-admin?=register function - I get this after submitting:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /16sector.com/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/sf-filters.php on line 134

Simple:Press Forum - Version 3.0.3 (Build 320)

WordPress 2.5.1 / PHP5

Hmmm.. I integrated BBPress before finding and settling on Simple:Press (much better) ..

What I have installed- Akismet, AskApache PW Protect, Ultimate GA, WP-Ban, WP-Serverinfo, WP-Sticky and WP shopping cart.

…and I just tried it again, and it seems to work now. Maybe it had a bug up it's arse.

I have set WP-Ban to ban 1.1.1.1-254.254.254.254 and excluded my own and a few other IP's - yet it seemed to all of a sudden let people in anyway as I found a registration in my inbox just now, too.

looks like posting at same time

just let us know if you have any other issues…

…yeah, that registration kinda surprised me. I called it a night when I saw the error. I didn't explicitly post the URL to the site 'cause it wouldn't have mattered, well, it wasn't supposed to have .. 'cause I had as I said, “banned” the whole internet.. using WP-Ban, though the URL was evident in the error message I posted. I guess WP-Ban decided to go into la-la land.

I was more so hoping that it had been something someone had seen before, even though searching for it as best I could yielded me no results. Then it seems it must have just been having a bad moment. 'cause I also have since registered for it.

Weird.

the site is for selling some Apple II hardware, that I designed ages ago and am bringing back again. It had been blocked by using specific code in the index.php, but then I tried to use the WP-Ban plugin for that and it was working at one point as I had some folks testing it.

…now if I can push myself to fully understand the voodoo that are permalinks and SEO friendly URLs w/o busting the site to bits..

Thanks
