Hi, This is two seperate questions but I thought I would ask here instead of making 2 seperate posts. Ok a lot of my traffic comes from my newsletters or from Google Adwords, they usually link to specific offers, now if a user comes to the site and then registers they always get this message :- You do not have cookies enabled in your browser. You must allow cookies in order to login. Is their anyway to disable that message or bypass it? Because it seems people are still registered and logged in and it is confusing and tracking shows people leaving at that point. Ok, onto question 2. I have made changes to the registration screen. After people have registered I would like to take them to a new screen where they can choose to receive the newsletter or not, anyone know what code I need to put in to get people to a new page after succesful registration? Thanks Jon

1) as an easy fix you could just change or delete that message through your admin panel. Go to "Languages", and in the first line search for items where the content contains "cookies". It will display the text you posted and you can just change it there. 2) in your admin panel scroll all the way down to "Miscellaneous" -> "Manage Redirects". In the fourth block, first line: After a user registers, send them to ... just fill in wherever they're supposed to go next

Hi, Excellent thanks Erm, I don't suppose you would know the answer to this question :- I need to enter some text on a blank page, obviously it needs the headers and footers etc, but is their anywhere I can just edit this? I tried editing the html but because some of the site is custom made the template in a html editor is all over the place. Hope I made sense. Thanks Jon

So, you want to have a page with your own content, that's using the same template as the rest of the page? Take a look at the official manual, there's a whole section about Custom Templates. It's really easy to do http://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/wsnmanu...

However saying that something has gone wrong with my preview option(before you commit any code). For some reason when you click on preview it brings up the preview window showing my profile lol, I replace blank.tpl but that did not do anything. Not sure what I have done there!! hehe Jon

Okay, I don't quite get what you're doing there What would you like to put onto that new page you want to create?

What I meant was the preview pane where you get to see any code changes you have made before you commit them is messed up, its no problems, will just live with it Thanks Jon

Perhaps blank.tpl is chmoded to be unwriteable. Also, previews are more effective when it can guess what area you're trying to preview... if it doesn't know what page you're planning to overlay the template on the preview may not look right.
