Can not register. When Agreeing, it just keeps kicking you back to the same
Agree page.

Hi Rob:

You are the first to report this, but it's still early. While I'm not
hi-tech, I have read that browser cookies must be turned on for
membership to work. If that is not it, then check support at:

http://forum.snitz.com

They are the forum software provider. It has been excellent so far, and
support has been helpful the few times I used it.

The guru is in you.
 
PS - Firewalls can sometimes prevent cookies from working. See here for suggestion on that:
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=56465&SearchTerms=cookies

From that help link:

"Over the course of the past year, we have had a number of people who could not register, with the forums behaving as if they were not allowed to make cookies.

One of my forum members figured out what was going on. Apparently, some firewalls will not allow the creation of the cookie for getting past the acceptance screen. The solution to this is for the person to turn off their firewall, subscribe and turn it back on immediately. This has worked for about a half dozen folks on my forums so far who have had this problem.

Just thought I would share the information."

I too had this problem...  Turns out it was a ZoneAlarm (firewall) problem.  I turned zonealarm off, registered and then turned it back on and was able to then log into the forums.  Hope this helps

Worked fine for me today earlier. You might try a different browser? I went
it with Firefox...

Looks like a great new set-up! Thanks, yogani!
